2 Pac I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask

2 Pac I see no changes. Wake up in the morning and I ask myself, "Is life worth living? Should I blast myself? " I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black. My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch. Cops give a damn about a negro? Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero. Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare. First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers. Give 'em guns, step back, and watch 'em kill each other. "It's time to fight back", that's what Huey said. 2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead. I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other. We gotta start makin' changes. Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers. And that's how it's supposed to be. How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed, and that's the way it is https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=u. S 4 Cv. CGFyqc

Talib Kweli Hip-Hop Artist “It became underground versus commercial, and they put us in

Talib Kweli Hip-Hop Artist “It became underground versus commercial, and they put us in a box, me and Mos Def and a lot of artists doing what we was doing. And you would see underground and conscious in front of our names as a prefix, but it would almost be like tongue in cheek. It would almost be like, ‘Well, it’s that corny underground stuff. ’ You know what I’m saying? It wasn’t said in a way that was respectful in a lot of ways, and in the same way that people would talk negative about gangsta rap and not really understand what its roots are. “So I saw the need to break those walls and those barriers down in interviews. So anytime someone referred to me as underground and conscious, you know, I’ll wear it, because I am conscious about what I say and do, but I would make the distinction and let them know that I do the same thing as these other brothers. It’s just a different part of the spectrum, and I try to celebrate the similarities between me and other artists when people try to divide me with it. ”

KRS-One “Well, personally, all rap is socially conscious. The concept of rap itself is

KRS-One “Well, personally, all rap is socially conscious. The concept of rap itself is socially conscious. But the real difference between socially conscious rap and, I guess, another expression would be the personality of the person his or herself. It’s not enough to just rap about socially conscious issues. The question is, ‘Are you a socially conscious person? ’ So even though your rap may be something that is questionable or controversial or thuggish in nature, but you could still be a socially conscious person and use the resources that you gain in one arena to help out in another. ”

Common “I’m very honored to be labeled as conscious, even though I never wanted

Common “I’m very honored to be labeled as conscious, even though I never wanted a label. But just to be called conscious, initially, I was like oh, they trying to box me in. They kind of separating me from the everyday street people. But then, after a while, it was like you know what? I am a conscious artist, ’cause consciousness is about awareness, and just being aware. “And also when I look at conscious artists throughout history, you could think about Bob Marley, you think about Marvin Gaye, you could think about Stevie Wonder, KRS-One. People that spoke consciousness in the music. “And if I can go down anywhere close to them brothers as being a conscious artist, then I’ll be very grateful. So I’m happy being a conscious dude, you dig? ”
