>The basic problems didn't appear until individual rap groups exhausted the virtues of consciousness-raising and decided they wanted to do something more specific.
I do think of some of the "awareness" activism I see where it never seems to lead anywhere. Folks are just busy with their awareness activities and everything is deemed good because they're generating awareness. Like minded people do their awareness thing, they like to do it, and there ya go... awareness is sort of its own means to an end and I'm not sure the given individuals or groups are structured in a way that they'll ever be capable of more.
I'd even argue that some of these structureless groups are incapable of much critical discussion as their group exists purely because of their awareness raising efforts, it is what they are, change might take some leadership.
