Most rap is all about I hit that ass...Now show me what you got!
Sex and money. Are the most common things to rap about.
Jedi Mind Tricks (group from philly who's basis is mythology, mind control and goverment conspiracies)
Swollen Members (canadian act that focuses on the actual art of rap oppose to jewlery, money etc.)
People Under the Stairs (LA group who likes mixing in a lot of jazzy tones to their cutting edge sound)
Talib Kweli (positive rap in its purest form)
Slum Village (group from Detroit who enjoy nothing more than just getting on the microphone and having fun with it)
Common (deep, thought provoking hip hop....yes there is such a thing believe it or not)
The Pharcyde (the west coast b-boy originators)

De La Soul
Canibus
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Btw, not that I know anything but I think it's a bit unfair to say all rap is about sex/drugs/money. Aside from De La Soul being (initially) a lot less gangsta than that, Mos Def allways struck me as more of a thoughtful rapper likewise with Kweli.
Two tracks I can remember that definitely aren't about sex/drugs/money are Canibus - Office Space (not really seriously though) and Mos Def - New World Water.
maybe not, but any fu**** with money, and that talks about those things, and can do it good enough, can get into the mainstream so easily. not all rap is about that, i said most. If i didn't, thats what i meant to say.Quote:
