When did conscious rap become "uncool"?

[jwonder]

Shift in society. Remember Americans are followers. They go by the "trend" for the most part. Very few truly have their eyes open.

Conscious Rap became Uncool when BEATSbyDre Snoop Dogg the Building

...but, it still resonated to non-mainstream Hip-Hop Heads

It came back to the forefront when Yeezus masqueraded as a Conscious MC, then Lu, Cole, KDot, Krit came thru, and carried on Tradition

For the record, conscious and political rap is still being made. Afrocentric rap is the ons that's dead.

yep. and there should be way more artist on that "fukk the police vibe".....

which is okay....just seems like every once in a while they say or do some c00n shyt....which makes it seem less authentic(like they are being controlled by jews) ...thats just me tho.

When you fakkits started hailing guys who say "I dumbed down my audience to double my dollars" as the greatest of all time

1. When Black ppl believed racism was over. Conscious backpack rap became useless if u were living in the burbs. And most hood dudes weren't tryna hear that positive stuff

2. When ppl became more interested in rappers as "gangster" characters.

 

[Insensitive]

When conscious rappers started spitting 5th grade philosophy and acting like their observations of the obvious made them some deep thinker, a real intellectual. See Hopsin for an example.

Hopsin epitomizes fake deep and that dude has millions of followers.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of society can see this dude is blowing smoke.

Bullshytter of the highest degree. At least Immortal Technique/Chuck D/Talib kweli can converse on political matters without looking like a complete asshats

I know more than you thats for sure lol. Ive also noticed and tested the effects of radio influence on the people Ive met.

Your words are worthless when you pretend that radio and labels doesnt have influence.

Tech N9ne and Immortal Technique and Lupe exposed the industry already.

Yo dumbass actually thinks it takes talent to sell a lot of records lol.

[Wacky D]

you don't need to sit down and listen to a full album to know bullshyt

have you heard a full nsync/backstreet boys/98 degrees album? nope, but you know there's manufactured pop bullshyt on those muthafukkas from what you've heard on the radio or in promo spots

i heard nothing but murder kill sell dope from that shyt...all my teammates and friends were bumping that shyt.

interesting.

cuz just about every no limit album ive heard that came out before and after that, had some conscious content.

but i guess i'll leave it up to a guy that heard snippets of select tracks to tell it.
