You have a point. People like Common, The Roots, & Lupe Fiasco, all have positive messages in their songs but don't get the recognition they deserve
I agree completely. I think people are afraid to actually listen and have to think about songs.
Lupe Fiasco is doing quite well right now, actually, with "Superstar" climbing to No. 11 on this week's Hot 100. And The Cool is pretty damn good, even if he does lay the message on a little too thick sometimes.
That is true. The Cool is an amazing album.
I've heard of K-OS. Another great hip-hop artist that tends to go unnoticed.
they are fantastic! their lyrics are so powerful.
I too agree wholeheartedly
you forgot about talib kweli, he belongs in that group as well!

It's hard to believe this is the same person who wants his teacher to "Throw some D's!" on his report card.
I will admit, however, the dance is fun to do when you're just goofing around...but that's about it.
By jove! I think she's got it!
It just goes to show you, takes absolutely NO talent to be a rapper. for example: "D4L - Laffy Taffy", "Kelis - Milkshake", "DJ Webstar - Chicken Noodle Soup"...Do you see where I am going with this?
Personally, I think that it takes little talent to be in the "popular" music world these days. I think the truly meaningful artists, with powerful messages, tend to be a bit hidden, but are really worth looking for.
he C L E A R L Y states that as a joke and as a pun on I believe 3 Six Mafia's "Throw Some D's". It may not be the BEST way to make a joke but it is pretty clever

And another great rapper with positive messages -- and who gets even less recognition -- is Ms. Dynamite. Want a great smack down of gangsta rap? Look no further:

I get what you're saying but I think Kelis is an immensely talented artist who often gets boiled down to just "Milkshake" or "Bossy"...and even then, they're far more playful and creatively bouncy than most other popular hip-hop songs.

Isn't it amazing that the disdain for Soulja Boy is great enough to support this single thread? Unbelievable.
