WHITE EUROS LOVE G-FUNK MORE THAN THEY LOVE THEIR MOTHER
Thought you were slick trying to sneak this bullshyt at the end
What's bullshyt about it
They were never gonna be allowed to prosper dude said What you need to do is get an angle on an anglo, use your bucks on some ku klux. Just imagine someone saying that shyt today. Jay-Z tried to were a NGE Chain and was heavily criticized yet people used to advocate taking white people off the planet on wax back in the day.
Kanye
Drake
CuDi
Dead Prez
BlackStar
Common
Shall I continue?
Yes please
Dead Prez Black Star & Common were pre 2000. I never heard Drake make a conscious song, Kanye made a couple but that's different from being militant. It's one thing to point out fukked up shyt, It's quite another to advocate for a whole new system and the destruction of this system.
Point out to me a song really criticizing cops killing Black people post 2001 that popped off, Forget songs that advocated clapping back at the cops.
There was a White shooting guard on our college team who I swear would have had 'Ol Dirty b*stard's baby if it was biologically possible. He would go on stan rants about Wu-Tang that were damn near poetic.
It's crazy to me when you look at how conscious rap was in the 1990s and how quickly it went to shyt. I had high hopes for Kanye for a little bit and then he went off the rails. Besides that like you say it took all the way to Kendrick to inspire me. There are others that make some great shyt (I'm always repping Shad, Chance tries) but only a few have risen above the underground scene and it's hard to imagine how a group like Arrested Development could become the biggest sellers on the planet for a moment.
I made a 70+ song conscious playlist for my baby girl and I swear 90% of the tracks are 15+ years old.
Joyner Lucas, who is corny to me but makes songs like that.
listened to that album last week, it's not terrible but that's when the end started, RZA started going bobby digital on the group and that album felt like everyone emailed their verse in.
I am old enough and white enough to speak on this:
1) white teens in the burbs especially are bored OUT OF THEIR MINDS.
2) When MTV came out and all these kids in the burbs started getting cable, it was a whole new world opened up to them, from the hair bands to grunge and punk to hip hop.
3) Infinitely bored and infinitely privileged (whether poor or not) they look for things that change there ‘normal’ situations and music and cultures are some of the easiest to cling to.
4) The first time I saw the video for “Bring the Pain” me and all my friends were like
EVERYTHING about them was different. We’re they a group? We’re they a family? How many members were they? Was it an entire block of people in the group? What are those beats? Why the Kung fu? Are they part Asian?? Why is one of them called Old Dirty b*stard? WTF is a Method Man? There voices were SO unique man...like to this day, whose voice sounds like Method Mans? Who else raps with a lipstick speech impediment like Rza? ODB???
5) They became scary, and dope and different all at once...but then they also became approachable in a way that was unexpected. ODB has a lot to do with that.
While white people my age love all sorts of hip hop artists still, there are 3 that made a weird leap into a special place: Wu Tang, A Tribe Called Quest and Snoop Dog.

Breh, Joyner Lucas made one of the most pathetic pandering to white folks songs in history. Son trash
