New rap has lost its ability to convey a message, it's all about appearances and beats now and strengthening racial stereotypes instead of fighting them. There are a few good conscious rappers emerging as the exception though.

Thanks for the insightful comment. That’s good that there are young socially conscious rappers. Any that you’d recommend?
Kendrick Lamar, childish gambino, logic etc:
I wrote an article a while back about the old guard of conscious rappers if your interested:

I like Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino. I haven’t listened to Logic too much. I will.
Your blog was nice. I liked how you had KRS One at the top. He’s a great teacher and he sees things very clearly. I don’t know Akala. I’ll check him out too.
Lol I now have so much rap to listen to.
