The overall response from the focus group shows that people do read music magazines and they think that they would enjoy reading a rap/ hip hop magazine, This therefore tells me that this type of magazine would sell. The focus group response tells me that I need to include articles written by the artist in the double page spread. Although some people dont listen to rap music others do and this tells me that I need to include some mainstream rappers as well as more unique and less famous ones
