4. Becuz Westcoast Gangsta rap is about real life events, its too gritty and honest for the radio. You gotta remember that radio is a business just like everything else and it will always get on the bandwagon so it can get ratings. More ratings=more $$$$.
5. style changes. show the money to get what you want. what pays plays. people get tired of stuff and want to move on to new stimulus. sponsors watch this and move away to where they can get paid more. the paradox is, what is most popular gets run in the ground and when folks get tired they move on. even the artists get tired of doing the same thing over and over.
6. BEACAUZE OF TUPAC AND BIGGIE SMALLS
7. The better question is how come the radios don't play good music period
