"Nigga, the red is for the blood in my arm, the black is for
The gun in my palm and the green is for the traum
That grows natural like locks on Africans
Holding the smoke from the herb in my abdomen
Camouflage fatigues and dashikis, somewhere
In between N.W.A and P.E
I'm black like Steve Biko, raised in the ghetto by the people
F*** the police (“Fuck the Police”)—you know how we do"

I repeat: This is NOT deeper than anything Pac or Nas has said.

Happy now?

Yeah.

You don't listen to hip hop like that. lol.

Nigga has yet to define "deeper" and really thought that light ass verse was deeper than s*** pac and nas said. Deadprez is not lupe fiasco where they reach for intricate meanings. Their s*** is straight to the point and the message is direct. It's the same approach pac used

Please keep.

how deep is music bro...

it's as deep as the listener makes it.

Listen bro I'm still trying to find out how yall defining "conscious" in this thread.

i ain't been itt so idk lmao 🤣

thought the title said Anna Kendrick

it's deep when college campuses with conscious professors make it mandatory to listen to album and decipher it.

that's what i did at my job today bro bro

taking a class next year for an elective. Cant wait to trash a few albums and make a few niggas mad

His old s*** is cool but he’s evolved so much since then it’s almost like he’s a completely different artist now

Bruh leveled tf up on every release since I first heard him it’s crazy

Mainly revisit his old s*** for nostalgic purposes. If you like his music you should check it out though. It’s nice to go back to see how far he came. Few of the tracks still hold up well

S80 was when he really became the Kendrick we know today imo

I’ll reiterate
“ Ya’ll not even discussing variables that identify the artists as conscious to begin with..”

Superstar!

Who are the current rap superstars?

Da Baby
Meg
Cardi
Baby
Uzi

Unfoonk

Yall should listen to Katori! Dont think he be a superstar but this kid goes in!

It’s only conscious if teachers in white/elitist academias cosign it didn’t ya know!?

I think he mean someone who wasn’t in the streets. Typical face of alt hip hop artists. Unfortunately Cordae is ok. He’s not above average talent imo. Not charismatic IMO.

The real question is based on production and image. Backpack type. Doesn’t have to be boom bap but has to have more variety like Drake’s production for example. People like to overrate Drake but he’s always kept that balance like Kanye in albums of hot singles and leaving room for songs that are more artistic than just bangers that are second tier to the hits of the album imo.

Terrible take calling polo G a potential conscious rapper lol, the dude is busy rapping about trying to boost the murder rate.

theres no need for conscious rappers anymore

not true NF

They're all stars but no one of them is a superstar except maybe Cardi?

Superstar is more like Eminem Drake Kendrick Kanye Wayne Cole Travis etc.. huge fanbase, well established icons, can sell out arenas, etc

What makes you say that

Dumbest post ever
