Its funny, Chicago is one of the most dangerous cities in America as far as homicide

Yet, they're also the biggest hub for conscious black rappers, funny how that works

I think this is the rose growing out of concrete
It makes perfect sense it’s a hub for conscious rappers. They see all the evil around them and it opens they eyes at a young age. Especially when they leave the city for the first time then come back to see the shyt they grew up with ain’t normal

The biggest fans of conscious rap and neo soul are people from the hood.

It’s music to help escape your reality and feel good about yourself.

Stop calling what he does conscious rap. He raps about everyday normal life. We need to stop acting like this is a sub genre because street content dominates rap. Saba touches on all that shyt too just not from the perspective of a hustler or shooter or whatever. That don't mean he s preacher or savior neither. Just a regular breh.

Hip hop became so unbalanced as it got mainstream that we accepted one dimensional characters as normal and started sub categorizing humans like a person can't have range. These sub categories are just cages and limitations. The coming of Kanye was supposed to kill all this shyt. "Is he gangster is he this or that." He just an artist, that is archaic thinking... Saba just an artist with a lot of range. Stop putting people in boxes.

Nobody called him any of that. You did. All OP said was he should get some more love on here

Conscious rap has those negative connotations that's why I mentioned them. It's just a box and it's unrealistic.

Dude don't even come off like that he's just introspective. He doesn't have heavy pronounced messaging of any sort

Care for Me is one of the dopest albums to come out in a while.
