And when he does talk conscious for the most part he's very self-centered.
Like Child of the Night.
He's a good rapper.
But he pretty much talks crap.
That's okay though, some crap talk music is fun.
But listen to Mos Def primarily (IMO) if you want real conscious rap.
Jay-Z has a fair amount
Nas has a large amount, although he doesn't have as much as he and other people pretend.
Talib Kweli is good also, but I can't get over the fact that he has such a wack voice.
Common, but he fell off and is re-building currently.
Jadakiss... sometimes.
