Im conscious too, but none of these bring anything to the table (positive). They push all the agenda's that we don't need!
Im going to stop here, we can discuss in pm if you want.. I can put you on some real "awakened" artist's

While it's true you can legit argue rap feeds what young black youth aspire to be always be mindful that many whites were killing and lynching folks and committing barbaric acts of terrorism in the form of the KKK all while listening to good ole boy country music. Rap had no influence. It reminds me of Chris Rock once saying: "I wonder what Hitler was listening to I wonder what was in his CD case?"
Likely Hitler listened to Eastern Classical music accompanied by many fine pianos and stringed instruments..and yet he slaughtered millions.
I'm open to positive rap for youth and all but I don't prefer it for myself. I want some hard hitting ass shaking beats and lyrics. Especially when I'm in the strip club or getting amped for a party.... bring me my trap shit I want to hear ghetto ass war stories not some positive vibe shit. There is a time and place for positive vibes and I do recognize that as well.
