This is one thing I found out about Black Speakers with intelligence: They speak mostly from the heart and lack the need of having a sheet of paper or telecommunication. It's as if the loud voice naturally in black people held its reasons through history.

Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, , Brother Ali, The Grouch, Zion I, Living Legends, Atmosphere, Tupac, Common (pol. conscious)

Every mainstream hiphop artist was once probably a decent lyricist. But now they are just making tracks for $. Feeding pointless information to the youth. So now everyone thinks hiphop is this mainstream version of it..

Other than pol. conscious artists, the music of hiphop itself, is empowering. Gets you through alotta shit..

Had to preach a lil bit..

Lupe Fiasco is the Cornel West of Hip Hop.

Lil Wayne is merely an accidental insemination that made it further than he should have.

@mayer8356 All art is NOT relevant, nor is it relative. Art is founded on passion and inspiration, and any art that lacks such is only an attempt to dissemble art. Read some books & some critics, it seems to be a very contemporary (and extremely ignorant) idea that all art whatsoever is equal. No one in their right mind agrees with that, only people who are attempting to flatter, philosophize, or defend their opinion say such nonsense. This idea can only come from the nanny-state.
