I know people tend to catagorize hiphop , rap, concious ect. but its not that simple ones like black star , a concious group still got songs about girls ass and ones like j z ect have shown moments of pure knowlede. Ever hear lucifer dawn of the morning by j z ? Also concious or not biggie , pac , nwa , ect are all known and respected by even the most concious rapper/mc. Who dont love cruisin down the street in my 6'4 (boyz in da hood)by nwa? Yes , I while we step foward in rigtousness we are still man.While mtv does sholder the blame did they really force mike jonez to bling out or was it his choice? like capleton says, if the people have no part in government who will the government govern?
