Listen brah, I'm sure Talib Kweli is almost still underground in your middle class suburb but he just ain't no mo. Secondly, if you gave a fuck about "conscious hip hop" you'd recognize the great importance groups such as public enemy, dead prez, non phixion, cats like immortal technique and paris got to say. COnsciousness is not to be dabbled in. And I say fuck Kanye, hes a slut and he's exploiting the radical part of the culture without the fucking back bone to say "I'm good enough with my words" he needs ice and hos to validate his position in the hip hop world as well as constantly being a cocky fuck. Conscience hip hop has always been a voice for the voiceless, like Bob Marley man, this is Rebel Music. This is how we unite the people and create movements and for us real heads it is important.Its like Aleida Guevara said man "I was always told i would have to start one day, but i did not know how difficult it would be". You can't babble on an romanticize the struggle if your not living it. You can't wear diamonds, a symbol of white wealth, the stones that have protagonized years of murder and exploitation in africa, and claim to know what the fuck is going on. Consciousness is only cool because of those rappers, those individuals who chose to say nah dogg, this is fucked up and we're gonna change it. Like when Immortal Technique refused to sign for a major and distributed himself because he wasn't down with the politics. Like when NWA said fuck the police, Like everything dead prez has done. This is not a game, this is our lives. People live and die by this. To you it may not be an issue, but to us we read about the child soldiers in sierra leone, the rape camps , do you know what that is son? Read a book, suck a dick, whatever stop running your mouth about what you are not a part of. Maybe you can relate to this "If one of us ain't free than we all to blame".Kanye absolves himself by saying hes a human being, thats weak shit man, comparing yourself to others is like pissing in the wind. Hes a slut and he is simply patching jay z with kweli, other than the sped up soul sample he has nothing original. Being conscious is hard work man, and i dedicate my life to it so i don't buy his bullshit because i am an example of what you can do it you really fucking care. And as for that best producer comment give it up what about the fucking RZA? WHere you think soul samples came from son?
