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)ur a retard if you think that
the guy said a good conscious rapper not some one whose going to put him to sleep

Bigger n smaller doses...Now I'm not trying to compare, and I am hip to certain elements n prejudices that are prominent in the low income black communities of the US, but y'all don't own that shit, ya didn't even invent it. Ya might have elevated that shit, but those same prejudices exist in all low income communities, even some affluent...Its all about the doses man...Some get a big hit of that shit, to the point where its ever present in all facets of the community, and some muthafuckas keep they ass undercover n extort n intimidate on the sly...You can manipulate any community if you got the know how....Soon as white man declared it inhumane to exploit other races for profit ( but kept doing it ) he had everyone fuckin everyone including they own mother over for a slice of that apple pie...No I was not reffering to your community as my community when I said our communities... I wouldn't even go there...But don't pidgeon hole yourself, like the outlawz said, its chemical war, unleashed on the black n the poor...They also said, been poets, its hard just being that. You know what's harder? Being black....Wanna hip this square up kid?Bring it on...I'm always happy to learn, even if I don't agree...

Iggy Azaelia already does that. Your mockery of black and urban culture isn't amusing, and if you haven't already, consider the idea that you may be a racist and in need of a serious attitude adjustment. I'd like you to lose the poor black American vernacular, it holds people back in real life and is just plain insulting when an outsider uses it for entertainment. I apologize sincerely if I have offended you mister, truly, that was not my intention...And although you may not believe it, I can comprehend how one might find my occasional use of what is predominantly black, not necessarily low income, but definitely rap related, jargon, slang, vernacular, offensive...I myself am embarrassed by those we sometimes ignorantly, through lack of respect in regards toward the root of the term, refer to as wigga...Its an insult to thtoose who are conscious about language n history n only shows lack of respect for the same culture one is mimicking or trying to embody...Aside from the fact that many whites who make this mistake try to defend their behaviour with a declaration of love n respect n admiration for black culture, I really shouldn't have to be told, as I am aware of the offensive nature of such practices ....Not seeking forgiveness, your welcome to hold a grudge, merely acknowledging my faults and extending a well deserved apology...Pardon me...I am very sorry...I will try not to do it again...
