"I am not trying to make this into a race issue"
Anyway regarding the discussion: I think there's more socially sensitive music out there than you think. Even unknown acts do it, hell my band's album "Frownland" is all about our ****ed up society. We may not have genuises like Marvin Gaye for example dropping stuff like "What's Goin On" anymore but none of the current A-list black artists today are anywhere near as brilliant as he or Stevie Wonder ever was so how profound of an impact would current artists be able to have anyway? I for one am not interested at all in hearing Drake or something attempt to make a political album.
