Why is Conscious rap the best type of hip hop?!


Question: **** that name. Who are we to say what is "conscious" and what isn't? You probably mean alternative hip-hop, but alternative hip-hop is not only conscious, as I am sure Jedi Mind Tricks, Chino XL, and Andre Nickatina don't fit the "conscious" artist mold. Conscious rap is a terrible name, and if all they do is talk about social issues, then "conscious" rap can get just as bad. Besides, if there is one rapper who is more "conscious" than other rappers (like Boots Riley), doesn't that mean that other rappers like Talib Kweli can't be "conscious?"

**** that underground bias.

I think becuase Conscious rappers can relate 2 more people wich makes it a bigger audience. Conscious rappers usually focus on there lyrics too. While Mainstream rappers focus on being popular & gangsta rappers try 2 focus on having a gangsta image more. I'm not saying that the majority of other types of rap suck. I'm just saying that Conscious rap is the best hip-hop becuase of its style. Conscious hip-hop makes songs that have a great subject matter & makes different types of songs instead of making repetitive songs of the same subject matter.

I'm starting to really like conscious hip hop because it's pretty much the only style of rap that's not trash anymore. I still enjoy some gangsta rap, but there aren't really any gangstas left in the rap game today. It's all about how much money you make, the number of pretty girls you sleep with, or what kind of car you drive. Conscious hip hop at least stays true to the roots of rap, teaching with both positive stories and tales of how hard the streets really are today. Conscious hip hop songs also focus more on creating a good loop for a beat rather than just a simple drum rhythm and a thumping bass, which better compliments the intelligent lyrics of most of the rappers. For those reasons, the Conscious style is the best out right now.

its also more positive. If i ever have kids..I'd rather have them listen to conscious rap than any other

I love conscious rap/rappers, but I dont know if its the "best" I personally like it best...but that aint what everybody wants to hear... Its funny to me how conscious rap is not as popular as other types of rap...but IF it were listened to more...it would be the most accepted by the masses because of its content... I just dont like labeling anything as the "best"... Best is a measurable...while you are asking for an opinion...

Because the people spitting it do not need to make a false image of themselves. The lines are coming from real people.

why is conscious rap at the bottom of the totem pole.

Props to yay area, I couldn't of said it any better. To add conscious rap incorporates the full essence of hip hop.

The brain needs good food to survive.

I love this type of rap because it reminds me of old school rap from when I was a kid. i grew up on hip hop, it's in my blood and always will be with me.

props to qwerty. i couldnt have said it better myself. fukk the "conscious" and "political" labels. if all somebody did was make songs about how the government sucks, or how all mainstream rappers are wack, then thats going to get old too. nobody is going to want to think ALL the time, you know? sometimes you just want to kick back and listen to some chill music that talks about chillin on a summer day. so please, stop with the labeling. the artists dont like it either.
