Street oriented rap music blew up with no radio or video play. NWA and Eazy E projects.
Record companies saw that there was an audience for that type of content, and that if projects with no media support could sell that much, that they could sign acts, plug them into their machines and make money.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Most of backpack rappers weren't that conscious lol. All that lyrical miracle spiritual shyt was nothing but offbeat rapping with struggle beats on. Plus their fanbase, the internet nerds, were hating on everything commercial and hyping up their trash like sage francis or el-p as top 10 ever. Nobody wants to associate with such a weirdo loser fanbase.

U mean conscious rap was intentionally killed off. They made sure to kill off Public Enemy’s wave.

The rise of gangsta rap and it selling like it did is what made corporate America engage in it, inner city make it and fans from the hood to the suburbs love it
