I don't think it matters as to "who" purchases the most of this music because those dollars in no way compare to the amount of money that we spend on the consumer goods of their record label's parent company. Many of the labels that specializes in the artist with degrading lyrics are owned by diversified companies that also own other business ventures such as clothing lines, alcohol, restaurants, etc.
Since we are the largest group of consumer goods (clothing, cars, etc.), we can hit their sponsors in the pocketbook. The benefactors extend well beyond the record label, but goes into a host of other areas such as clothing, vehicles, etc. If anything else, we KNOW that there is power in the dollar.
The sales of Sony's playstation well exceed the record sales of a rap artist on one of their record labels. I guarentee that if we boycotted buying their products (playstation) because they chose to produce these types of artist on their recod labels, then something would happen.
