"When one doesn't know about the other one's culture

Ignorance swoops down like a vulture."

"You must learn."

"instead of spendin' Billions on the war,

I could use that money so I can feed the poor.

Cause I know some so poor, when it rains that's when they shower

Screamin' "Fight the power!" That's when the vulture devours."

"We gotta start makin' changes

Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers"

That's just the way it is.

La Femme Fetal

Topical and relevant, conscious hip-hop, well suited to the Tumblr demographic.

Some more hip-hop/rap that's suitable for a general audience.

Since so many of you seem to find it difficult to find good hip hop and rap, allow me to try and help.

I'll try and keep the presumed demographics of the audience in mind and try to avoid songs with excessive profanity or distracting and overstimulating sound effects like gunshots and sirens.
