for real ... he is the prime example of mixing standard b-boy braggadocious rhymes w/ politically and socially conscious messages

some key cuts missed from the above post ...

you must learn

who protects us from you


and while you're at it, i would talk abotu self destruction and we're all in the same gang too

also, the original poster mentions: "I am aware that there are many others who talk about blasting cops and shit, but those arent the ones i feel are contributing intellect/consciousness in their music"

isn't blasting cops sending a message? not saying it's right, but if some fucked up shit happens sometimes people feel that way .. how is that not contributing inttellect or consciousness? btw, several of the artists you mentioned do this, most notably nwa and dead prez
