The Death of Conscious Hip Hop!

Is Conscious Hip hop Dead?

I mean are we as a people to comfortable? We as a people really do not have that much to complain about. Not saying we still don’t have issues but lets face it, are we still in slavery? Are we in a depression? Are we not going to the best schools and accomplishing the goals we put in front of us? Again I am not saying life is easy but I do see we as a people making progress. I remember when we had Public Enemy, Poor Righteous Teachers, X-clan, PARIS, Brand Nubian, A Tribe Called Quest, Two Kings in a Cipher, Divine Scholar, Tragedy etc We had all these artist/groups that spoke about what was going on From PE on the racial tension of the late 80’s to Brand Nubian dropping the five Percent Knowledge. Would you say all these conscious rappers was birth as a effect of the hard times that was before us? Or is it not profitable to make money off conscious hip hop? We do have a few Common, Reflection Eternal, Dead Prez,Mos Def, etc but lets face it how come some of these artist mention are not being played on the radio? I feel we, as a people should be able to request a KRS-One just as the same way we can request a Jay-Z and a Lil Wayne song.You tell me is conscious rap dead?

I thought this was interesting shout out to Diamond District this interview is the question i was asking.
