NT: What are some good songs (Conscious Hip-Hop Only)?

[bims92]

I am looking for some good music to make a CD. What are some good songs to include? I am mainly looking for some conscious hip hop/rap. I already got someImmortal Technique, Dead Prez, and some KRS One. I would prefer a song with a good beat.
Thanks.

Well if you like Dead Prez, try out Binary Star, One Man Army, Black Star (Talib Kweli and Mos Def). And go for the classics too, Tribe and De La Soulcan't fail.

Just stay away from backpacker type hiphop that's coming out the mid-west and all that sappy suburban rap.

 

[fl0eticnostalgia]

You really can't go wrong with Black Star. Try The Roots, and some Common as well.

 

[ridgemont fly]

Lupe Fiasco

^ Whoa! What!? Lupe? Concious? Concious of Louis Vuitton Belts and pretending to skateboard, but that's about it.

Thanks.

By conscious do you mean lame backpack rappers, or just good lyricism?

OGfiend you sound like a %%!#$%% idiot right now...it's evident you've never listened to any of his stuff...If Hurt Me Soul, He Say She Say, AmericanTerrorist, Steady Mobbin, Comin From Where I'm From, aint conscious i dont know what is...and we can delve deeper into his catalogue...these ignorant%#%+!* always want to open their mouths

aside from Kick Push i & II i dont think ive ever heard him mention skateboarding, ive maybe heard him drop a line about dunks once, come to think of it,he rarely talks about what he wears...

you corny

OP check out these guys http://niketalk.com/topic/126732

What is this "conscious" hip-hop you speak of? Are the rappers awake, or something?
