+OfficeHanchoBoxing I think there's no denying that some of the best Hip-Hop music came out in the 1990's. I do think, however, that there is a lot of music out there nowadays in the scene that still has some strong messages in it. Most of the examples that come to mind - 3rdiiiUth (iiMz, or however he spells his name, has some great mixtures of religious messages along with a critique of racism and modern society), the Kool Klux Klan (specifically crashPREZ and Sir E.U), Mick Jenkins, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, Aesop Rock, and Kendrick Lamar - are fairly obscure, with the exception of Kendrick, who I believe manages to mix some catchy sounds with rather great messages. The more theological and philosophical side of hip-hop is out there, but you have to dig for it. Maybe some of those recommendations can help lead you to the kind of music you're looking for.

One of Masta Ace's comments in them is this- "English was my favorite class when I was in school, and when I went to college I excelled in English. Learn the English language, and the better your knowledge of it, the better MC you’re gonna be."

It's not a racist song at all it chronicles the different stories and things that happened growing up in Brooklyn new york.... And the people relate not just cause the beat nice or the raw lyrics all three Mcs display, but if you was raised in similar circumstances it hits home..

John Randle I don't think you had to have been there to appreciate this song. Still holds truth to this day everywhere.

One of the illest songs 🎵 for the realest movie soundtrack 👌

Easily one of the most iconic HipHop tracks!
