“Coastal people never really know what the ocean symbolizes to landlocked inland people--what a great distant dream it is, present but unseen in the deepest level of subconsciousness, and when they arrive at the ocean and the conscious images are compared with the subconscious dream there is a sense of defeat at having come so far to be stopped by a mystery that can never be fathomed.

The conscious rap artist woos the college market, even though the college market is the wildest, most sexed-out, drug-driven market in the country, possibly the world.” WorldCountryPlayArtistJesusChristCollegeSourceDrugConsciousJesus ChristRapDrivenSupposed To BeArenaMosesCritiqueKrishnaAdvocatingMtvRap ArtistConscious Rap Author:KRS-One
