Yurrrrrrrrrr
Age range and environment plays a factor
Party music aka dance music was always the dominant force in the music industry since eternity. Before Hip Hop turned political in the mid 80's with Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, NWA etc it was mostly party music -- having a great time, drugs, women, alcohol etc
Conscious bars was it's zenith mainly in the late 80's towards the mid 90's -- socially issues regarding race, police brutality, poverty, the spirit of blackness, the roots of Afrocentricity
Pac was a well-rounded rapper because he addressed a variety of topics while still catering to the ladies. What made Pac stood out was he made his listeners FEEL the passion addressing these struggles in society. To be successful as a rapper, you have to be relatable and also have a female following.

Because he isn't a political rapper. He is a conscious rapper, but not a political rapper.

Then wtf is this
He had a few politically charged songs but that isn't the base of his catalog
When you think Lupe you don't think political activism like Dead Prez, The Coup, or Public Enemy

He debated bill o'reily and sonned his ass
Almost got blackballed for calling Obama a terrorist
Anonymous hacked Atlantic to force them to release lasers

And the music on his mixtapes weren't political
And outside of music his politically views (at least back when the Obama stuff happened) weren't that deep. I mainly remember him not agreeing with staying in the Middle East and him saying that all government is corrupt and should be questioned.
Hell he was saying that he realized that voting matters when he saw how blatantly racist Trump and the Republicans were and voted for the first time during the midterms
it is but lets keep it a buck; no1 trying 2 hear that shyt. People hate being preached 2. Not for nothing IDGAF about the content like that; its HOW U SAY IT.
In general I prefer party/gangster records but if u come with crazy style n melody I'll bite.
That’s the reason why “conscious” stays largely underground
not for nothing I separate the art from the artist. but brehs like jeru the damage, talib, and jay electronica always end up PAWGing and acting a fool on social media

What did I say @Malcolmxxx_23 ?
The Kendrick and Aubrey beef proved that there is a definite shift going down. You seen young kids on social media actually dissecting lyrics. The younger generation is craving substance again. A rebirth of consciousness is around the corner. The world is falling apart and people are tired of the same ol bullshyt. They want shyt that's gonna make em feel again.

You seem to think just because a song is fun that it can't be conscious. Kendrick literally ended the song with a fukkin history lesson about Colonizers
What’s conscious about not like us?You seem to think just because a song is fun that it can't be conscious. Kendrick literally ended the song with a fukkin history lesson about Colonizers
Hell, what was conscious about any song in the beef?
You’re a dummy if you think people won’t always prioritize fun and exciting in their entertainment choices
