Try Common, Talib Kweli, KRS-One for starters. They're pretty good and socially concious.

I like to think Kanye's somewhat socially concious too...but he's sort of an ass, in my opinion.

Sidenote...on the Staind fan forum, I posted an interview with Aaron & Mike that a DJ from a local station did. Her name's Kaytie and someone was like, "Everytime I see this I think it says Kanye," and then another person said, "I could imagine how that would go. Aaron would look at him like he was retarded and Kanye would talk about himself the entire time and it would be over." LOL.

End of randomness.
