I have tons of respect for Rick Rubin but
Eminem has sold more records than any hip hop act ever(why)! Tupac is second!
MC Hammer sold more records than any act ever created by Rubin! Just Sayin
But back to the real matter at hand, maybe more consumers of EDM are white which would lead to more white acts being consumed.
While Most of the pioneers of all great music formats have been Black most of the consuming music buyers have been white. This goes back to Blues, Jazz, Rock,House,Hip Hop and Techno! Record companies copied black music and re branded it with what they thought would be marketable to the consuming target market! But to say racism does not exist in music is Laughable!
Most of these genres came about because of some form of rebellion against the Establishment!
Hopefully one day we can remove the word of racism from the dictionary but I dare say
its a slim Hope in my lifetime!
