It’s strange because although hip hop is massively mainstream now and if you look at YouTube views for the biggest hip hop acts compared to the big rock acts it’s significantly higher for hip hop, it doesn’t translate at all into the turnout both genres get from their live shows. You see big rock bands coming over here from the states and doing sell out shows at Wembley, West Ham, Tottenham etc yet with the big hip hop acts they’ll be playing at the Brixton academy, Hammersmith etc. i think what it shows is that Hip hop is accessed a lot more by the general public but rock definitely has a far more committed fanbase.
