RX Nigerian PastorPolo g and Kodak black both have conscious rap songs. Hell a lot of their subject matter is socially conscious. Chance the rapper as well
Then to a lesser extent you got g herbo and cordae
i don't get the hate on Polo G and NBA YB on KTT, considering they fulfill the "lyrical conscious street" niche people want

Bmezy“ overcoming street life and what it’s like to live in it” is a thematic trope that exists in ALL faucets of hip hop music even in the female rap scene regardless if you’re a cardi b or rhapsody.. if that was the defining aspect of conscious rap music then you might as well include Wayne the duffle bag boy, drake the sheltered simp and Jay the braggadocios mogul as ‘conscious’ as well.. almost all rappers are conscious to a degree because of the socio-economic disparities of our communities thAt depict the music m. Meaning that there will always be SOME sort of social activism/black liberation because of how we’re juxtaposed to other groups on the caste system. Ya’ll not even discussing variables that identify the artists as conscious to begin with..
good post

Prolly cause all their songs are over generic trap beats with no interesting song structures

I remember there was a study that found that the average person stops looking for music at age 23, and considering that's the average age on here it makes sense that a lot of people don't move away from anything that isn't from the Big 3 or s*** that was popping when they were 17

Btw I'm not hating just my 2 cents I think those guys are nice rappers but the thing that separates someone like Cole and Kendrick is that they spent years in the studio working on their songwriting ability and how they approach music, some rappers just know how to rap and they think that's enough but I can promise you that you can find some random rappers in the hood right now who rap and approach music the same way Polo G or NBA do

Ghetto Lenny· editedOn the real, lyricism in hip hop is dead and it’s kind of sad. Not everything needs to be on some lyrical miracle s*** but we need some rappers in the mainstream who can actually rap.

You need to dive deeper into his discography and not just his biggest hit

there is obviously plenty of conscious rappers you just need look in the underground scene but probably at this point
though i feel plenty of rappers can mature and became more conscious over time, i don't expect every rapper at age of 20 to be ultra woke

look at hov, his subject matter has changed over time when he got older and older, thats why 4.44 was so well received
thats also why eminem went wrong because he had interesting vibe going on relapse people hated it and since then been scared to try anything new. he comes off as bitter especially on kamikaze.

It's easy to do that when you never did it. Every other rapper did that before they hit their 40s
