Why not. If there is anyone that we should be talking about, it should be the so-called positive/conscious artists taking a leading role in preparing the young folks for revolution.

I would hesitate to call them positive, but only in the process of comparing them to other so-called negative artists.

On top of that, you need to actually listen to anyone rocking booty ass thug glory lyrics. Often there is a lot of "conscious" social commentary built into their descriptions.

>OOO SHAKE IT SHAKE IT'

Does it matter what they think?

I'm talking about action, not words.
