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)
ur a retard if you think that

think what exactly ? my post didn't even shed light on what I think, I simply posted songs with either 1) an uplifting and empowering message or 2) a grim/realistic portrayal of a particular situation which can definitely be labeled conscious.
and you, sir, are a retard for failing to quote properly someone's post after all these years spent at various forums (among other reasons).

Bouli, I've been listening to some of your suggestions, and they are spot on as to what I was terming conscious...
I feel weird...
I don't know if its disrespectful for me to feel empowered by pro black art, as I know, its not directed at me in that context. Enlightening, maybe, but empowered?
I can, very minorly, but still to the extent that I am in absolute awe, identify with some of the themes I hear in gangsta rap, when the content is in relation to corruption, intimidation, drugs, extortion, retaliating against enemies, rising above prejudice n oppression....
Not to the extent or as deeply or exactly as those who have lived life experience within the culture itself, but more through lived experience of some of these practices within my own culture....
I don't wanna adhere to gangsta mentality, or street mentality, corrupt, exploitive, degrading or cold hearted mentalities that have us putting up brick walls that disable us ( us being whoever we are and where ever we come from ) from overcoming these negative influences impact apon out personal selves and the communities at large....
So then I jump ship, and I think, I don't agree with being a victim to these practices, so how can I encourage the continuation of themthem by funding the mentality mentality. Buying into the concept, through admiration of some elements n lack of experience and/ or knowledge of others, but finding some themes relatable n others unacceptable...
I love pro black literature, art, music, education, knowledge, but I know it is not put out there for my benefit...
I wanna support the or those cultures that I find righteous....
But I feel for the suburban or affluent man the same I feel for the kid who grew up in foster care... I don't wanna offend either of them...
There are so many levels n elements n concepts to rap, but even if I just quietly admire n try to expose myself to knowledge, I feel like I'm offending someone by not committing to their belief system....
I wanna put my money on someone's table, but I don't know who to choose...
Everyone got a valid argument....
Will look into purchasing some of the artists you suggested.... Thanx heaps for the input...

here's my all time top 10 conscious albums...
1. Nas - Illmatic
2. Dead Prez - Let's Get Free
3. Ras Kass - Soul On Ice
4. Xzibit - At the Speed of Light
5. Xzibit - 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz
6. Talib Kweli - Reflection Eternal (the one released in 2000)
7. Mos Def and Talib Kweli - Black Star
8. Rakim - Don't Sweat The Technique
9. Rakim - Paid In Full
10 Nas - God's Son
....I was judging this album on the "conscious vibe". So, for example, Nas God's Son album or or Xzibit's 40 Dayz and 40 Nightz album are both better than Soul On Ice, but Soul On Ice is maybe more "conscious" so I gave it a higher grade. Feel me?
