I'm getting into rap music lately. I like the music but so far every song I've come across has been about how much money the rapper makes or how much sex he gets or how badass and "street" he is.
So, I'm asking, is there any rap music with good lyrics?
Pic semi-related, it's a rapper but he's shit.

MF DOOM's lyrics are mostly nonsensical but the way they flow and rhyme is unlike anything else

not true, btw
>>61458329
pretty much all rap deals with those topics. But if you want more subtlety with your raps then check El-P

Scarface, his albums The Diary and Mr. Scarface is back
Wu-Tang Clan, 36 Chambers
MF DOOM, Madvillainy
J Dilla, Donuts
If you don't like these albums you don't like hip hop.

Good shout
Really slept on by a lot of young Internet hip hop heads for some reason
Milo, if u want a more abstract and philosophical rapper

you could die of old age before you listened to all the great rap records that internet heads sleep on, especially on /mu/.
thirding Scarface, too.
and he's still making worthwhile music - the new album was pretty damn good.

Either way, Eyedea might work for you.
