HipHop always had "conscious rappers" who kept the listeners informed on what's taking place in the communities/societies. Now, seems like that's a bygone era...

who are the conscious rappers nowadays?

What abt storytelling in HipHop? Ghostface, Krs One, Nas, Slick Rick, Big, Common, Cube, Lost Boyz and so on just to name a few who were all excellent stortellers...when's the last time one of your fav mainstream rapper made a record telling a story?


No one tells stories anymore.

Oh, and lastly, the new young lions don't seem to put as much of an emphasis on freestyling anymore which used to be a prerequisite for MCs...
