I would rather cats continue to make the music that their comfortable making instead of doing some try hard forced shyt that sounds out of their element. I listen to different rappers for different things

There are some woke guys, but that isn't really what sells to the masses so most of them hop on the wave of what's hot.

Most of the new generation artists don't even rhyme anymore they just get a hot beat and hook and run with it. Trap beats and all that shyt is the thing now.

Just a different generation; however, I'm not going to completely throw them under the bus though because these protests have shown that same audience can have some substance and depth when necessary too.

Guess its time to FORCE those self centered materialistic rappers out the paint, and get more pro-black ones that can spit the pro black content naturally.

Nope, most people listen to/look at music as an escape. Not trying to hear positive talk addressing the sadnesses in their lives.

They gonna be waiting until Summer 2021, and by then, the psychological damage will be done. No going back on the old way of life.
