Low to high consciousness music, like rap

[Danioover9000]

   A thread to share some low to high consciousness music. Feel free to share your low to high consciousness music or remixes or whatever that has dark humour and subject matter, or comedy or some light stuff. A thread with a mix of low to high conscious music. I'm gonna focus more on the rap music a bit before adding other types, so, to start off spicy and strong, here's a the game's track 'the black slim shady', which is a homage as it references other Emcees, and also a diss track:

   I present to you, to me, a high quality artist from Japan once again. Here are some of his tracks I listen too to trigger my story making mind, and to oddly inspire me to freestyle write and rap as well:

   This song to me is dream like to me. Pretty good, had me writing fanfic of some of the strangest stories at one point. Made me inspired to mix Bram Stoker's Dracula and other vampire stories with Steven King's IT. Nothing too drastic changed in the IT plot, other than a vampire child that's involved in the story, that's involved with the Losers gang in both the first and second book. I made the metaphysical turtle a bit more obvious throughout, and made this version of the story rich with different types of conflicts, from the girl vampire's psychological conflicts with dealing with her hunger for human blood, while trying to keep this a secret to the Losers. Both IT and the vamp girl kept to their territorial hunting grounds, but because of her developing friendship with the gang, she ends up having to deal with IT eventually.  

This one is sweet, short, and makes me feel a kind of upbeat love or romance vibe. Also made me inspired to make a fanfic of both Berserk and Madoka Magica, and The Flowers of Evil, for the characters, relationships and all that, with a bit from Bleach Fate stay night/the fate series with the world building.

   This one inspired me to rewrite RWBY, and have Salem as the main character, told from her perspective, of a time when she was human in an ancient civilization, in a golden age of magic, when the world was so young and filled with chaotic magic, of selfish and evil creatures and demi gods, born mostly of the selfishness of the twin gods of light and darkness, of her encounter with Ozpin and another character, of her developing relationships with them and going through her human life, of happiness, and struggles of overcoming lose and tragedy of her love, of going against the fate and selfishness of the gods, of failing a coup and her receiving the cruelest of curses, forged of light and darkness, that fate could curse upon her flesh and blood, while taking away everything she ever loved in her world, creating the true origin of what the Grim creatures are, and her journey to her eventual formation of the character we kind of know today, and the real relationship she had with a character that wields a scythe.

   My sales pitch sucks, but that's okay, and this song is what triggered me to imagine it that way, as the current RWBY sucks to me. Too many inconsistencies and sub plots that go nowhere. I felt Salem's, of all the other characters, had the most promising potential to be a very interesting and intriguing characters of that show. Also, literally should be the main antagonist, which is very important in any story.

^Thanks for the shares : )

There are too many for me to list but here's one that's kind of unique/reminded me of sharing:

It just seemed so "simple" yet communicated incredible emotional depth (lyrics in the description). 

And this one

This is my favourite artist nowadays.

   Good demonstration of a freestyle rap, and what makes freestyle rap freestyle rap, how it used to be mostly from imagination, and currently most being memorized pre written verses and less imagination. State is everything:

A favourite of mine, that I go back and listen to from time to time.

This is how PURPLE/RED looks like in the 21st century. Good shit though.
