The Evolution of Conscious Hip-Hop | Rules To This Sh!t

Some hip-hop has a message, but sometimes the music is just for fun. Our cast discusses the importance of both in the early days of rap. Then they let us in on their concerns over the drug messages in today’s hip-hop. As part of Complex's Get Money initiative, the eight-part series "Rules to This Sh*t" covers the trials and tribulations of embarking on a rap career, with words of wisdom from Common, N.O.R.E., Too $hort, the late Nipsey Hussle, and more.
