I think you are misunderstanding my point.
I said the
reason why Hip Hop was
created was due to poverty, racism and struggles the inner city black youth experienced.
How did you get conscious hip hop music out of that?

The RAP music playing on the radio is not Hip Hop. Hip Hop consits of a wide range of topics but the music playing on the radio is not Hip Hop because it does not accurately reflect the culture or African Americans. It does the exact opposite.
The current rap mainstream music is a corporate operation, NOTHING to do with Hip Hop.
