But conscious rap they don't respect it

That line was from a dope KRS verse a few years ago when he really ripped the entire track. Just read an interview with Shyheim and he had some really poignant things to say about hip-hop and life in general.
I got my times where I talk about street s**t, but then I flip and say but these are the consequences if you go this route. But what I noticed that when I’m not rhyming about the reality of the streets as far as consequences that follow the negative actions, no one wants to hear it, but if I come out talking about, yeah nigga I’ll stab you in the face, it’s acceptable.

Some really insightful stuff from this fella who almost went the way of Gary Coleman and all those other teen stars that lost their way. Hoepfully, he can bring things back to reality and make good on his original potential.
