Early 2000s hip-hop R&B chart stats

Back in the early 2000s around 65% of songs on the Billboard charts were hip-hop/R&B. These days that number has dropped to just 21%. The shift is stark when you look at a collage of album art and music videos from that era featuring Nelly, Kelly Rowland, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Eminem, Ludacris, Outkast, Lil' Kim, and Naughty by Nature alongside VIBE magazine covers and iconic releases like Dilemma, Get Rich or Die Tryin', The Blueprint, The Marshall Mathers LP, Back for the First Time, and Stankonia
