[Kaypain]

Because his raps consciously has people like you consciously thinking about rather or not his raps is consciously conscious enough to be conscioulsy considered a conscious rapper.......


































































consciously

 

[Wacky D]

concscious rap been lost its luster over 2 decades ago.

all you have to do to be considered conscious is appeal directly to the disenchanted or alternative rap crowd while exhibiting certain elements of consciousness, whether genuine or not.

@JustCKing aint in this thread?

 

[SirBiatch]

I need answers, not no fukkin youtube videos

You're talking about The Coli here These zombies can't muster up one original thought

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Black feminists types really ride his dikk like he isn't one of the most misogynistic rappers out there just cause he turned up to a few protests and doesn't rap about money a lot

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

Another thread that further solidifies why you shouldnt take the booths opinion on anything seriously

Rest in Peace Mac Dre

 

[Chip Skylark]

I've always been on the fence about calling Pac conscious too.. In fact, I've always felt he was overrated, and his subject matter isn't as deep as people try to make it.. But that's a whole 'nother thread.

I agree but I don't want to get banned so I'll keep my mouth shut

 

[BO BARON]

Since when did being consider a conscious rapper is something to be proud of

You think them rappers you mentioned would consider themselves conscious rappers

Conscious rappers are 1 dimensional boring and broke and ain't none of them nikkas getting release dates if their signed to any major label's.

Wale kdot kanye and cole all do conscious music kdot more than anybody but overall they make good relatable feel good music not preachy ass smart alec trash with weak ass beats

 

[Pazzy]

Well what do we call ATCQ or Special Ed? Are they conscious rap?

 

[jmackhh]

Bruhhhh the rap game is a joke now.


The game has gotten so bad that nikkas like J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Wale, and at one point in time Kanye are considered "conscious rappers". Like WTF are these nikkas saying that is conscious?

These nikkas aint kickin no Esoteric knowledge, these nikkas aint talkin bout no 5% nation shyt, these nikkas aint talkin bout no Kemet/Nubian history, these nikkas aint talkin bout no Marcus Garvey & Black Nationalism shyt, these nikkas aint talkin bout no Malcolm X shyt, these nikkas aint talkin bout no Black Love & the Black Woman is Queen shyt........



J.Cole talks about losing his virginity, and "dont save her she dont wanna be saved" , and because it's not about Trap shyt it's considered "conscious" What a fukkin Joke.


Let's compare conscious hiphop, to the bullshyt of today.





compare.




Get this bullshyt outta here.

Who is calling JCOLE a conscious rapper? That shyt's crazy...

 

[Kokoro]

Cuz he called Elvis a nikka

 

[spliz]

I agree but I don't want to get banned so I'll keep my mouth shut

How the fukk would u get banned for an opinion? No matter how terrible. Sayin Pac wasnt conscious is one of the dumbest things I've read on this site. If he wasn't conscious than noone is. Like I said this is just a "my favorite rapper" thread. Aint no logical opinions been formed yet from anyone on the OP side of the argument. What a dumb ass thread.

 

[SouljaVoy]

Fijis being conscious

Perhaps Fugee-la wasn't the best example, but for you to imply Fugees aren't conscious is ridiculous.
So J.cole is conscious but fugee's aren't??

Do you really wana go that route?


WE can do a song by song comparison.... I put up 10 Fuguee songs, and you put up 10 weak ass J.cole tracks and let's compare the lyrical content and subject matter. And this includes Lauryn Hill solo tracks.

 

[the cac mamba]

J.Cole talks about losing his virginity, and "dont save her she dont wanna be saved" , and because it's not about Trap shyt it's considered "conscious" What a fukkin Joke.

 

[jilla82]

Whenever I see a J Cole video I honestly wonder if he has fans.
Dude is so basic.

Are there J Cole stans in real life?
or did he have a OK buzz, and then that song w/ Miguel blew him up?

 

[InDePickWest]

He's not. He's one of the most misogynistic, materialistic, surface hitting rappers around. His music can be considered more damaging than nikkas like Chief Keef cuz he comes across like people should listen to him. Chief Keef is obviously a very good joke, J. Cole fans actually think he's not just entertaining..but riveting.
