stuff like big l's "street struck", right? btw feel free to answer the barely submerged question, "when did 'conscious rap' emerge?"

birth of 'conscious rap' = 'the message'? pre-'conscious rap' conscious rap = 'how we gonna make the black nation rise?'?

is this really that uninteresting a question? i mean there was a time when an mc could slip in a bunch of 'conscious' stuff and it'll still just be rap business as usual. is it all rawkus's fault or what?
