I agree but not ALL mainstream artists are bad, you're just not listening to the right artists. Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, The Roots, Royce Da 5'9", De La Soul, Pharoahe Monch, etc. are all mainstream "conscious" rappers. Artists such as these don't get the attention they deserve simply because this is not what the public wants to hear. It's the listeners' faults for buying material from artists that are about sex, drugs, money, etc. If we support better artists, then maybe we can finally see a positive change in hip-hop.
