People aren't too fond of conscious Hip Hop, music. They say It's "Boring" I mean look at this forum I found where somebody Is talking about how Hip Hop, should be more about knowledge than Ignorance. Look at how they make something *Positive* Into *Negative* just because they don't agree with It. I mean the reaction there Is outrageous towards Hip Hop. Anyways, If you want to check It out It's here: rapgenius.com/discussions/61261-This-is-how-hip-hop-should-be-knowledgeable-instead-of-making-your-fans-think-that-being-in-a-gang-and-selling-drugs-is-cool-thank-the-most-omnipotent-prince-ea

NuttyNuttinMusic I like the fact that rappers use their talent to spread the truth and positive messages, but most musicians sing about what they have dealt with in their life and what is going on in their life currently. That and as long as it sells people will continue to do the same thing.

I like that when they got something to say, can't stand it when musicians say something just for the sake of saying it, sounds forced, its gotta come from the heart not the brain.

I praise rappers like this. Many rap about world problems but other than change the world always needs the messages to be repeated until it sinks in. Changing the mind of 1 could turn into 1,000. This type of rap is what inspires me to write. The message.
