Just Another Sunny day in California:
yes they should, that's why Pac IMO is the G.O.A.T. because he spoke about social and political issues unlike these rappers nowadays

Yeah this is also probably why no other rapper has managed to come near his standard. But with the trend of following in the likeness of Pac's image, why is it that rappers choose to take elements of his thug persona and ignore everything else meaningful he stood for? Is it a fear of upsetting the same people Pac did? Are rappers now hesitant to follow in his steps in fear that they create too much of a stir in certain circles of society. Pac wouldn't of been able to keep silent on the increasing bullshit being committed. What is it with other self confessed thug life MCs rapping as if hiphop is only about holding heat, bitches and wearing a bulletproof vest evey hour of the day? 

HK Mofo:
YES!  Rappers should speak out more on social and political issues in rhyme!  The power of the spoken word... in rhythm?  What communication thru art is stronger?

Bomb-A®:

peace
