Yeah it's like what Big Boi said on one of his songs: "Your whole shows consists of everybody's s*** but yours" which refers to pop rappers biting what those did before them did.

ahh its so true.. unfortunately the originators and creators dont get any credit too.. like some1 will bite some1..the bbiter will bite the biter.. now this guy is rapping in a style and he doesnt even know who created that.. people talk about freestyles..99.5% of them dont even know who freestyle fellowship is.. I don't support "underground" or "commercial" I just support the quality artists.. but everything is so locked down by radio video etc etc unless you look for the good music you just ain't gonna find it..

I know this issue is dead but I just want to say.Does anyone here own any of Kanye's albums.What I'm saying is if you don't you don't know what his rhyme context is so how can you say he's political or conscious.What you put out as singles and what's and your album is two different things.Most of his album can be about drugs money and hoes if you don't own it how can you know.And believe me watching porno's ain't the worst thing he could be doing I mean c'mon let's get serious here people. :stickpoke:

There was a prior thread where people were calling him a leader in the black community. This is sort of an add on to that one.

Well that goes to my earlier point, not many of his songs are about god so he shouldn't be called a 'conscious' rapper just 'cause he was famous for "Jesus Walks", you listen to his albums and there's not really any songs like that, that's as ignorant as just sayin' Will only makes 'party' songs just 'cause he released "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It", not all Will's songs on his albums sound like that either, "Don't Believe The Hype".

You don't have to rap about God to be a conscious rapper!

Of course you don't if you rapped about God all the time you'd be a 'gospel' rapper, but I don't really consider Kanye a 'conscious' rapper either, he's more of a versatile rapper like Jay-Z, Will, or LL Cool J, that's not as 'conscious' as a Chuck D or KRS-ONE, it's hard to label rappers though, it's easier to just call them all rappers and stop labeling them.
