I'm sorry man, but you sounding pretty ignorant to me. You're over here bashing a quality post. Seems like you took it as a personal offense, but what you said up there ^ dont make any sense at all. MCs/Rappers are educating the young through their music. It's what they listen to and learn from.
Impressionable young kids that we all once were. Some don't have any heroes or anybody to look up to. No guidance and no formal education. Not fortunate to have a father figure or whatever the case might be, they are getting educated through the music they listen to.
Like what Pac once said, if I remember correctly, that he did not have a father figure and the ones that taught him how to live were the thugs and the hustlas.
I think the message of this post is to not glorify, but educate so that the future generations don't gotta go through what the generations before them did.
It's education through music, it's history being narrated. What would be the point of hip hop or rap if there were no words and messages behind it. We might as well be listening to instrumentals. I'm not talking bout preaching against illuminati or that theres lead in our water, but real life shit that youngs could learn from.
The rap music I'm refering to ain't about no conscious hip hop, but real hip hop. Shit aint gotta be political or about some conspiracy theory. It ain't whining and talking bout how hard you had it, but talking bout how hard you had it in a way that send an emotion or I guess you can say message to the ears of young listeners letting them know to be grateful for what you got and don't front on who you're not.

Who listens to rap to learn? or an even better question. How many rappers have something to teach that's worth learning?
