This is like saying cancer is perfectly normal.

Is cancer not normal?

40-45% of people will get cancer in their lives.

It's estimated that 25-30% of people, globally, enjoy hip-hop.

Cancer is 50% more common than hip-hop.

Is hip-hop normal?

So you're saying, you don't mind having cancer?
I didn't say that. I didn't even come close to saying that.

I am saying that when 40-50% of people will experience something, it is statistically very normal. In fact, it's technically "likely".

In most cases, 40% is significantly better than Vegas odds.
