      +ezwar99 what about Joey BADA$$, The Underachievers, The Flatbush Zombies, Lupe Fiasco, Freddie Gibbs, Ab Soul, Vince Staples, Big KRIT, Jay Rock, Isaiah Rashad, Schoolboy Q (sometimes), Logic, Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, Action Bronson (kinda), Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Denzel Curry (sometimes), Mac Miller (some of his newer projects). There's plenty of conscious hip hop in the mainstream, you just have to not be a "hip-hop is dead" idiot.

    • @Anonymous29785
      @Anonymous29785 8 лет назад +1

      +Keyser Soeze how so? Joey is mainstream now, as are Odd Future and TDE, Chance, Vic, and Bronson were all XXL Freshmen, Logic's got a sizable fanbase, as well as UA and FB Zombies. Curry hasn't quite broken into the mainstream yet, but he's coming up. Mac is mainstream, KRIT is accomplished, and Mick is a recognized force in Chicago hip-hop outside of the mindless drill scene.

    Don't care about the "controversy" surrounding the lyrics. Most of it, if not all, is actually true. But the beat, the drop, the hook, the orchestral backing, is absolutely epic. My favourite KL track.
