Description

Who are the best conscious hip-hop Best hip-hop artists of all time & WHY do you thing that? Conscious hip hop is a subgenre of alternative hip hop that focuses on social issues. It is not necessarily overtly political, but it still focuses on social issues and conflicts. The main themes of conscious hip hop include religion, aversion to violence, African American culture and advancement, and the economy. Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" was the first political and conscious hip hop track, decrying the poverty, violence, and dead-end lives of the black youth of the time. (wikipedia)
