      The problem here is wanting to see this authoritarian "they" (whoever this boogieman even is) as an evil entity, and the listener as an innocent victim that doesn't know any better
      The truth is, people are simply more interested in the ignorance. People don't like being preached to or being challenged. The ignorance is easy to digest.
      This also comes from issues with authority. People LOVE to blame everything on the higher ups ("they") and see themselves as victims
      Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. But if you really feel this way, you gotta hold the adult listeners accountable too.

      @@seankiesling2054 Yup, them too... the backpacker scene began bubbling, probably around '91-92 when you had the Def Squad/Hit Squad rappers taking over the East Coast hip hop scene in the underground... and the Native Tongues Family with their conscious lyrics and alternative approach... then it got a shot in the arm on the West Coast with Heiroglyphics in '93 when Souls of Mischief released their seminal debut, '93 Til infinity. That crew also reinvigorated battle culture... as a huge hip hop head, I was always battling in high school, in homeroom, in the cafeteria, on the school bus, at house parties, etc.. but when Heiro came out, it expanded and more people got involved. In '94, Nas dropped the New Testament in the backpacker Bible, Illmatic... I would also include DITC (Diggin' In The Crates), BCC (Boot Camp Clique), Gang Starr, The Roots, Freestyle Fellowship, Hobo Junction, Aceyalone and The Good Life Cafe artists, Common, etc. The tension with the overly commercial artists didn't really come to a head until around the late '90s when mainstream rap got really glossy and jiggy... that's where you had Puffy, Mase, Jigga, Cam, etc... then you had indie labels like Definitive Jux and Rawkus poppin up as an alternative, which produced the likes of Company Flow, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def. Company Flow's Funcrusher Plus album was another milestone in the backpacker subgenre. It hit the underground hard in '97 and recalled the raw, gritty sounds of Enter the Wu Tang and Enta Da Stage from '93. By the '00s, the South and commercial rap had taken over and the backpacker aesthetic and sound became completely relegated to the underground and indie labels.

      @@jman1562001 since you disagree, the burden of proof is on you. It doesn’t look bright as gang culture still permeates. gangsta rappers knew what they were doing as they were more concerned with making money than bringing awareness, hence the shoot’em up bang bang in abundance. They didn’t change the message on purpose, didn’t wanna mess up their bag.
