>Liking "Conscious HipHop"
>>60324366
what's wrong with it? i like the genre i just wish the term didn't sound so pretentious
What exactly makes hip-hop "conscious"?
Is it just a lyrical theme or is there something about the beats or rapping that differentiates it from other styles?
>>60324366
liking "music"
>>60324393
Its really lame and over preachy . The genre is so obsessed with "real lyrics" that they are to stupid to realize they talk about 90% of the stuff young thug talks about.
>>60324409
mostly the lyrics. the themes are supposed to be about stuff that makes you think rather than "braggin, hoes, and gangs" as conscious rappers would say.
>>60324409
Its usually like lyrical rappers who act like there deep . They also think rap should return to how it was in the 90s.Also its probably conscious hip hop of a bunch of white people like it.

>obsessed with "real" lyrics
Can I get citation?
>they are too stupid to realize they talk about 90% of the stuff young thug talks about
Can I get some conscious hip hop and Thugger links?
>>60324471
i wouldn't say 90% but yea their lyrical themes still follow what old school rappers would rap about. though i don't see why this should turn you off completely from the genre
>>60324530
i'm not him but if you listened to conscious hip hop you wouldn't need a citation. Although if you do want a citation, listen to Common or Mos Def and look in their lyrics
>>60324575
Their lyrics aren't really "conscious" as you're memeing. They're just standard lyrics.
>>60324409
Early hip hop was "conscious". It wasn't till N.W.A hit the scene that "gangsta" shit skyrocketed.
I like N.W.A, but holy shit did they fuck over black community by glorifying harmful activities.
Listen to P.E's It Takes A Nation Of Millions and compare it to Straight Outta Compton. Both released the same year, yet so far apart lyrically.
>>60324532
Conscious is just codeword for shitty and pretantious
>>60324366
>ywn hang out with Hunter S. Thompson
Music for this feel?

I can't tell how insulting this photo's supposed to be.
>>60324613
Fuck NWA. Wife beaters.
>>60324612
i didn't deem them conscious. i claimed the rappers of the respective genre did not me

Dr.Dre was the only woman beater.
Easy-E sold drugs and Ice Cube was just an anti-semite
>>60324829
Thats all just great. They seem like swell guys.
Unpopular opinion- I dont take hiphop seriously
>>60324878
But not all of them are woman beaters
:^)
>>60324907
I hope you realize that's not that small of a minority.

I GOT A LETTER FROM THE GOVERNMNET
THE OTHER DAY
I OPENED AND READ IT
IT SAID THEY WERE SUCKAS
>>60324471
It's funny man because you seem lame and preachy. Every once in a while I'll pop in Revolutionary Vol 2 and chill.
>>60324961
Its pretty unpopular considering how many good reviews kanye west, wacka flocka and young thug get.
conscious hiphop is cringe. Its a shitty joke genre thats only great when not taken seriously
>>60325046
I think it's pretty much only good when taken seriously. It's not like it's good music for dancing or chillin with your buddies.
>>60324613
early hip-hop was about real life. NWA's real life happened to be different.
>>60325046
That is unless you're talkin about Heard em Say or similar tracks that have mass appeal but deep lyrics.

Yeah Bro - what the fuck is Ariana up to?
I was violently attacked by her new Focus Song in an un-skippable youtube advert. It was just dreadful.
