The East-Coast had Consciousness movements from great men like Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, , Charles 13X, and even Father Divine....(Rakim, Nas, Wu-Tang, X-clan)

The Midwest had Consciousness movements from great men like Nobel Drew Ali, Fard Muhammad, Elijah Muhammad, Fred Hampton, George Jackson, and even.... Jeff Fort..... (Common, Kanye, Blackthought)

The West-coast had Consciousness movements from great men like Huey P. Newton, Bunchy Carter, and even Ron Karenga.....(Tupac, Paris, The Coup, )

The South has never had a man or a movement that promoted Knowledge-of-Self, economic-empowerment, social-consciousness, or cultural awareness...their few movements were about integration and assimilation...... (Gucci Mane, Birdman, Crunchy Black)

The East-coast's Talib Kweli is the son of a Black panther and it shows in his music

The Midwest's Lupe Fiasco & Kanye West are the son's of Black panther's and it shows in their music

The West-coast's Tupac Shakur was the son of a Black panther and it showed in his music

The South dosent have any son's of Black Panther's and it shows in their music......

Attachment not found.

The Nation of Islam, The Moorish Science Temple, Us organization, the Black Panthers, the 5% Nation of Gods & Earths, MOVE, and the Craft ........their influence was lost on the South and it shows in their music.

Im sick and tired of you people dissing the South because the majority of their rappers sound like illiterate pickaninnies, its not their fault that they never had movements that stressed the importance of Knowledge Wisdom & Understanding...dey rap about whut dey know about and da nigga's and white-folks buy it. So quit "hatin"....

Great drop Rap! Wise words from a conscious black brother. Threads like these made me join this forum

fuck outta here black people who don't have the balls to make it up north all move down to atlanta as a last resort. If you can make it up here in the north east that means you had to go through allot more shit. the POPULAR easy way out is to go down to atlanta but if you can make it up north in the ignorant mostly white north and be able to put food on the table you really have accomplished some shit.

IDK but could it be that the south is still feeling racial oppression compared to the rest of America.........leading to blacks being more subdued socially and revolting back to crime instead of building. I need to explain better but some of yall can understand what I mean......i think..lol

Yes, there is still oppression but a lot of us are oppressing ourselves. There is no excuse for that. We have a choice to move forward, but some of us choose not too.

I brought it up for a few reasons: hrap made this thread (and he's a West Coaster) and he basically threw it out on the table because I always wondered why the conscious minded Hip Hop from South never gets any love and this exposed it...but not only that, the majority of our music has been pushing the same formulaic work and to certain degrees was successful and to some it was either embarrassing or coonish and we were always getting hated for it. But the thing is..EVERYBODY down South isn't like unconscious and that's where the issues are coming from. I know why the conscious music doesn't get any love, but the intelligence of every Southerners shouldn't be dictated by what's heard on the radio, MTV and other outlets during the South's time of reign...

The thing is: It's ignorant unconscious shit EVERYWHERE. North, South, East and West.
