I'm detoxing from gangsta rap.... I'm not as concerned about the content as I am about artists profiting from that which is detrimental to they communities... In concern to the term conscious, I mean inspiring lyrics about overcoming hardship and defeating the negatives in our communities.... I realise these kind of themes can be found in gangsta rap but I don't wanna listen to dickheads talking bout fuckin bitches, getting high, killing each other or reppin they set.... Again, these themes can be found in conscious rap, but they are generally reffered to as a negative that needs to be overcome rather than exploited....
I know a few artists from the 90's but I'm not very familiar with current or newer artists....
Please provide links so I can try before I buy!!!
Sincerely, Ebenus Supremus....

And Sccit, if you rep that wack ass lamb shit too me, I'm gon reach across the pacific ocean n bitch slap you!!!

mmmmm

you mean artists with a positive / uplifting message ? idk the term "conscious rap" is a bit misleading...

as far as artists with a positive message, outside of the biggest names I don't know, I'll just drop a short selection of my favorite "positive" / conscious songs (might come from gangsta rappers, though)

Thanx for the feedback...
I'm familiar with Talib n The Roots...
I also consider Rass Mass to be conscious...
Conscious is a term I use to describe lyrics that are empowering. They can have negative themes but if your really listening they're not degrading or maybe I should use the term disempowering... Gangsta rap can have have empowering elements also, just as cube was coined a political rapper in his early days n even the outlawz can have uplifting messages eg. Like a window, fork in the road...
I can get my hands on the roots latest album locally, but I'm gon cruise the net for artists I've never heard before so thanx for the suggestions...
The term conscious can be as arbitrary as the term Rastafarian... I hear rasta don't like that term n I know a lot of rappers wanna be versatile n not pigeon holed into a certain form....
Thanx again...
