Who has heart in rap?

[BayBoss420]

I ain't speakin down on dudes who are using rap to eat, because they got families to feed. Also sum amount of songs about money cars and clothes are cool cuz thats a part of life but It seems like thats all alot of artists rap about now. its like rap has lost alot of its heart and has a lot less social commentary, songs from the heart, shit about life etc..

What artists that are in the mainstream still have heart in their music and not just 15 bling bling singles on their CDs?

 

[The Evil Genius]

I don't listen to mainstream hip hop so I would'nt know.

 

[BayBoss420]

ok?

 

[North Vallejo]

its been like that since cash money became mainstream. u just noticed now?

 

[BayBoss420]

^um nah, I know everyones noticed it too i wasnt tryna drop sum newinformation..the point of this thread was asking if there are any rappers in the mainstream who people think arent just on the bling bling shit in every song. I thought real long and hard and I can only come with Nas and Chamillionare right now

 

[D'struction]

Chamillionaire, Ludacris....them hip hop type cats (Kanye, Mos, Talib, Common)

 

[Palmer]

As soon as I read the name of this thread I instantly thought of Z-Ro. So that would be my pick for sure.
