188522, "conscious" rap was a term given by marketing. Posted by lexx3001, Wed Aug-04-10 11:49 PM
Kweli never claimed to be a conscious rapper, in fact he poked fun at the term. Please define how one is distinctly "conscious". Nas is a conscious rapper to some, yet he said some really really dumb stuff. The term is as dumb as "neo-soul". Why can't it just be "soul"? and why can't they just be rappers? These kids falling for this bs, treating rappers liike they some super-humans and shit. All he did is put some words together. Doesn't make him more or less conscious than the next rapper.
