Today's rappers are too far removed from the Civil rights movement and the black panthers

There hasn't been the same level of pedigree for them to descend from

Strangely, there's a lot of young political minded people, but doesn't seem to be many that happen to rap

I can't think of any below the age of 25

Current landscape probably wouldn't even allow even if so

Meme rap seems to be the wave nowadays
