In this episode of THE RAP SOUL PODCAST, host 12Kyle and guest Krishna discuss the evolution of music, particularly hip hop, and its impact on society. 

They explore the shift from conscious music to commercialism, the role of money in transforming hip hop, and the gap in hip hop history that has led to a lack of positive messages in modern music. 

They also highlight the importance of artists like Kendrick Lamar, the responsibility of fans in shaping the genre, and the need to pass down hip hop culture to future generations through personal stories and experiences. 

They discuss the evolution of female artists in hip hop, the portrayal of women in music, and the responsibility of artists to convey meaningful messages. The dialogue also touches on the significance of community in hip hop, the historical context of the genre, and the need for storytelling to preserve cultural identity. 

Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding and connecting with one's history to foster a richer appreciation of hip hop and its impact on society.
