I remember when rappers were doing the knowledge. Dropping jewels on microphones for the kids and older people trying to maintain in life and keep their head up. Hip Hop is more about females dancing in videos, looking scandalous and skank! Even the Black Eyed Peas went commercial when they put that female in their group. I remember when it's all guys just 3 of them 1998, "That's the joint that's the jam!" just for an example. It's like no one wants to talk about reality, or what they've went through in life. Waking up the conscious mind of people. I honestly wish conscious rap would come back and we can throw all this teeny bop hip hop out the window. I want to send shout outs to KRS-ONE, Gangstarr, GZA of the WuTang clan, Common, Kanye West, Scarface, Ice T, Rakim, Juvenile, Chamillionaire, E-40, MosDef, TwalibKweli, Ice Cube, and rappers from Texas holding it down and on the west coast as well.
