rappers who can transition into the political arena

[EuropeanAndWhite]

Mos Def, definitely. Always been socially conscious and opinionated.

true. but social awareness and critical thinking isn't what brings people into politics and offices. unfortunately.

that's why people like mos def will NEVER reach a high position in politics. and i'm pretty sure that if mos def really stands for what hes telling us, then he doesn't even wan't to go into politics.

only someone that is a clean cut guy therefore i nominate jigga.

married
no tattoos
left his criminal past behind years ago

he is also one of the only ones in the game that REALLY made it out the streets. most of these other niggas will be back on the block sooner or later and their kids prolly will live the same miserable life they had before they became rappers.

co-sign. AND the most important thing: he already made his way not just out of the streets but to those circles 99% will never see. he'd be a good candidate.

but as i said, this doesnt make him one of the "goods". politics is an evil game, just as the music business is. and the way he plays the music game tells me he would be good at politrics too.

A few people mentioned earlier that Bun B could possibly transition into politics.

Easily one of the most politically and just in generally informed rappers out there.

Dude drops mad knowledge anytime he does an interview.
