Enough of this bullshyt.
1. Most conscious rap ain't popular because most social-political music in general ain't popular. Most people (all races) listen to music usually so they can have fun and enjoy life. That's why turn up music sells more records. Most conscious music ain't even good, it's often preachy, shyt produced, fake-smart, self-rightous, hypocritical bullshyt made by folks who think they shyt dont stank. Just because u talk about politics and social issues don't make you smart nor does it make yo music good, any retard can do that shyt. Even the worst, most c00n ass rappers sometimes make conscious shyt, its not hard. People don't need some fake smart artist to tell them what 2 think when they can think 4 themselves.
2. Most conscious rappers (past and present) are sign to major labels. ATCQ, De La, K-dot, J.Cole, Public Enemy, Mos Def, The Roots etc. The idea that conscious rap is being "suppressed" and that mainstream rap is a part of some plot to destroy the black community is a bullshyt conspiracy theory like the Illuminati. Music has no impact on a person's character nor intelligence and that shyt been proven by science hundreds of times. And don't gimme that bullshyt about conscious lyrics being censored. Mainstream rap is filled with anti-white lines, go on RapGenius and see for yourself.
The Mozart Effect myth: research finds music doesn't make you smarter
3. Even in the 80's and 90's, conscious rappers were a minority. There was NEVER a time when conscious rappers were the most popular or influential. Public Enemy was the ONLY political rap group sellin multi-platinum albums. nikkas like Heavy D, Hammer,and Will Smith were the most successful at the time. So don't gimme that nostalgia bullshyt. And despite what most of yall nikkas think, conscious rappers actually have a SLIGHTLY higher percentage of cac fans than mainstream rappers do.
4. There is no evidence that cacs buy the most rap music. All data shows that its a PC myth thats been disproven several times.

Black people make up 40% of ALL rap sales (almost double the cac rate according to data) despite being only 13% of America's population. This means cacs r
underrepresented while black folk r
overrepresented. Yall nikkas need 2 get out of your little bubble and realize that most white folk don't listen to ANY kind of rap at all, only a minority do. Out of all 4 main races of this country cacs r actually the LEAST likely to be a fan of any rap. The only type of rappers that have an over 50% white fanbase is white themselves. Most people are
naturally more interested in artist and entertainers of their own race than others (regardless of content) and cacs r the majority (over 65%) of America, so the success of Eminem, Vanilla Ice, G-Easy, Iggy and the others is expected. This shyt aint no damn conspiracy or mystery. Even as a kid I knew that the myth that white folks buy most rap was bullshyt. The idea that a genre where most of the artist are one group (over 80% of american rappers r black males) is mostly bought by another is pure bullshyt. If I said that most Country fans r Latino, people would say Im retarded because that is a retarded claim. Yet people really believe in the nonsense about whites buying the most rap.
So no, cacs don't have rap music at all, they dont have r&b, reggae, or gospel either. The only genre of music whites really stole from us is rock, and that's because rock fell off after 50s and the British made it popular again with non-black folk in the early 60s while the black community moved on to Motown. Jazz and Blues haven't been relevant since the 40s and nobody listens to ragtime shyt no more.
....no radio edit or anything....50 was biting the Klan tough with that shyt
Especially Faux news.
