is there rap music which is not just gangsta blabbering with no content or abstrap post-rap like anticon stuff, just thoughtful stuff with a musical knowledge behind? I am not familiar with the genre.

what exactly are you implying?
You can check out Deltron 3030 OP
If you can't listen to gangsta rap then don't even bother listening to any hip hop with lyrics because it's ethos is all over all of rap music.
Either way, Mos Def, Jedi Mind Tricks, Deltron, Tribe called Quest, MF DOOM, GZA is maybe the shit you're looking for

Is this little Adam Driver?

this, even if it isn't gangsta rap, it will allude to it heavily, gangsta rap's aura has been cast on all hip-hop

Go to Canada.
Seriously research Canadian rap.
Halifax, Winnipeg, and Vancouver all had really good scenes in the 00's
Pete Rock & InI
Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, and Bones. They aren't like the intellectual try hard thesaurus rappers, but they also aint like the try hard gangster ass rappers either. they rap some real shit.
>>61989122
rage against the machine
>>61989122
MF DOOM, Tyler the Creator, Die Antwoord come to mind.
>>61989392
MF Doom strikes me as rapper with most musical knowledge

Yeah this is true. And even though I would never recommend JMT to anyone ever, the rest of the list is pretty good.
