De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Brand Nubian, Digable Planets, The Pharcyde, Digital Underground, Souls of Mischief, Del the Funky Homosapien, Freestyle Fellowship, Arrested Development, Goodie Mob, Outkast, Fugees…
Grandmaster Flash, De La Soul, and Public Enemy would be good examples of rap that was politically and socially progressive, I’m sure a bit of digging would give a long list
Can you suggest me songs from the early days that does this? I’ve always hated how much rap songs glorify those things.

I’m not that into rap, but I do like jazz, and De La Soul is a very cool mix.
Thanks for the suggestions.
