Isn't it called "conscious rap"? I always thought of conscious rappers as SJWs who spit bars.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but it sounds like bullshit woke stuff. I mean real leftist hip hop. Only example I even really know is Immortal Technique. "The Martyr" is pretty good but old.

I'm starting to wonder if concerns on the right about political civility were not genuine.

Leftist rap is a thing in west Africa.

Ford is unable to return to her home because of ongoing death threats. Trump and Kavanaugh have not called for an end to the death threats, and as far as I know, no conservative opinion writer or media personality that has been whining about senators being confronted in restaurants has said a thing about it.

They are not serious political commentators, they are just reactionary agitators and should be treated as such.

I don't doubt that it exists, I'm talking about emergence in the culture here.
Leftist rap would have a difficult time getting going here as so few people ever learn about leftist political philosophy and only know of it through caricatures of it presented by rightwing politicians.

I'm really glad we got to have that week or so of hand wringing about civility when Sarah Sanders was politely asked to leave a restaurant though.

You don't need to know anything about leftist political philosophy for leftist themed ideas to resonate.

Do you think all the right wing hip hop succeeds because its fans are familiar with the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, or because they intuitively understand the idea of riding around in a Bentley and drinking Cristal?

Shocking.
