Facts and that’s always been the case
If Badu won’t a “conscious” singer/artist, she’s be called a hoe for all the nikkas she’s been with and ain’t never marry
But because she’s speaks about her “third eye”, she’s not like Cardi B

When DYWM dropped, Black Thought always said that their music was "more conscious rap" because they focus on championing "blackness" and getting back to "the roots" of what it means to be black and "Hip Hop" in America today. He said that's why the jazz was so prevalent in their sound. Their whole thing in interviews was talking about how Hip Hop got away from its roots and that's why they called themselves The Roots.
Quest has repeated the same sh*t since '92. He said they used to do the spoken word skits on their early work because they felt that that art form was being lost and since they were more of a conscious group they always wanted to keep those expressions in the light. So it's not the people, the group itself aligned itself from day one with all those "conscious" sensibilities.
They labeled themselves as that. On his podcast, Quest said that he and Dilla are responsible for the sound of "neo-soul", lol.
Common had a whole pimp skit at the end of 6th Sense, where he's talking to a chick on some conscious shyt, then one of his "hoes" turns up complaining lol. He pimp slaps her then goes back to trying to talk to the first chick.Conscious rappers get a lot of bullshyt swept under the rug because of what they supposedly represent.
It's been right in everyone's faces for decades.

Berry Gordy didn't know about the song until it was done.
Rockwell wasn't f*cking with him, at the time. Berry thought he sucked at music and didn't support him making songs, lol. So he wrote the song and asked MJ if he could do the background vocals for the demo because Berry told him to stop playing him bad music. MJ did the backgrounds and then Rockwell shopped the demo to Motown under the name "Rockwell", without Berry knowing it was his song. When he found out, they signed him and agreed with Mike to keep him out the credits to let Rockwell get some shine.
It was basically a situation where Berry Gordy caught the vapors for a kid he didn't support making music, lol.
yet and still it remains undefined. its a label without meanings. loose references to "jazz" "neo soul" and "blackness" may suggest some substance that isnt there .
Well it damn sure doesn't suggest they dont fukk on groupies and allegedly engage in thievery
"pro black" is another one of those elastic terms. Assata Shakur just passed. One could rightfully say that her , the roots, and Dr Umar , are all "pro black" . So ,by default, many would associate them with one another in some manner. But that couldn't be further from the truth.
considering the direction of the nation and global society at large we're gonna have to get more sophisticated with how we read who and whats before us

Them calling themselves "more conscious rap" multiple times and then going into why that is isn't enough for you?
Okay.

It's not even the term that's the issue though. It's the endless phoniness.
Saying you don’t care about luxury and “material items” and that you’re “not that kind of person”. But behind the scenes, you’re wearing Gucci and mad other luxury brands and have a chauffeur who drives you around in a Maybach. Just say you're into fly sh*t too, but don’t like speaking about it in your music.
These artists spent their best years pretending to be "anti", but were privately living the same sh*t they decried musically. That's mad corny and fake.
