Do they want
A) Club Friendly/Shit that just bangs in the whip
B) Ignant street talk about cliche drug talk
C) Conscious voices about what is really going on/the struggle
D) Other?
I think the "Streets" just want club bangers that take them away from the street every thursday friday or saturday what have you. Because if the streets really cared about the gun talk keef, gucci, and waka would be flying of the shelves which they didn't. If the streets wanted a conscious voice to rep the hood then half the people on this site wouldn't call the conscious rappers boring.
What happened is the cliche bustin the uzi using the toolie street talk got old and played out. And the conscious rap had a point in the 90's but modern street cats don't care about the struggle cause its a different era. Cause lets be honest cats in the hood still be having i phone 5's big ass tv's and nice whips they just decide to stay in the hood less people are struggling (pending the city). But the 80's and 90's the crime rates were higher the drugs were deadlier.
I think it's about balance and just speaking the real. You can't speak on just one of those things and not be about it. The one thing all those rappers T/S mentioned have in common is that they were really about that life, but they knew there was a better way and wanted to show the people that. The only person right now I can think of on that level is Lil Boosie, but let's face it... son got a voice for closed caption. He's not ready for the mainstream. I think too many rappers these days are trying to cater to a crowd instead of speaking from their hearts. I even be listening to J Cole sometimes with that "fuck outta here" face. He raps like he just watched an episode of A Different World, scribbled it on his notepad and created his life.
