    Where are the newer, positive, non-materialist rap artist(s) at?
    Nah, not them sleepy, Amazon Warehouse-workin, Honda Civic-driving rappers (J. Cole, Dreamville), or the alt-pop-rap who make cutesy Tik-Tok music.
    I'm talking about rappers that make you feel uplifted on a spiritual level? That make you love yourself.
    For example, like Tribe (see above).
    Where have they all gone? Where should I look? Help me out, can someone put me on?

    It get called corny because it's cornballs making the music.
    But I think if someone/people tried making Tribe/De La Soul-type music that was actually dope, the concept could still work.
    It's just gotta be handled really delicately is all.
    It's too much bullshit going on in the world for mf to only be talking about going on drills and how many rollies that got.

    Ian even gon hold you, I was lightweight trolling in that other thread.
    I've actually known about him since high school.
    But his music doesn't do nothing for me personally.
    I posted the Tribe song in OP to communicate the general vibe I'm searching for & Mick Jenkins is too sleepy, imo.
