Conscious Rapper( To be, or Not to be?)

the term "Conscious rapper " gets tossed around alot in Hip Hop, but I always thought it was kind of, well yeah, ignorant to call certain rappers"concious". The word "conscious" basically means aware (i.e. aware of your surroundings, that it's monday, etc.), so to call someone "conscious" isn't really saying much other than they are aware. In my opinion, T.I. is just as "conscious" as Common, the difference being that T.I. might be considered more "street conscious" than Common. What do you think?
