i don't want rappers that rap about drugs, sex, money, and about how they think they're better than everybody else. i want the ones that rap about real stuff that people actually care about.

pretty much ALL rapers rap about that stuff but if u don't wanna hear that kinda stuff STAY AWAY from 3 6 mafia WOW they swear and rap about ALL that bad stuff. the first thing that comes to mind is the herd their song "freedom samba" is about freedom and stuff not (sex/drugs/stuk up) they dont really swear either but they do singa little bit in their chorus's. scribe he doesnt swear that much but all lot of his song are about himself he doesnt swear that much and not BADLY but his song are like "how many dudes u no roll like this..not many" and "fresh fresh fresh my sh*t is fresh" also 2pac he sings about good stuff. chiddy bang is pretty cool and not offensive. cyprus hill swear a bit but they're stuff can be about more than sex and drugs e.e. their song "rise up" i hope this helps

try lupe fiasco and eminem.

they are probably the best rappers in the game right now.

also, common is amazing.

2pac is fire too! he does cuss quite a bit though oh and you'll hear about sex, but listen to tracks like dear mama and to live and die in la

Common is the only one that comes to mind



@sportsnut um Illmatic? Nas talks about all that. doin drugs, slangin and bragging. he brags in It Aint Hard To Tell. "Nas I rock well/it aint hard to tell". the only songs i can think of that has little or no reference to those are One Love & The World Is Yours.



@mic damn! u think thats enough? might wanna add couple more just in case. lol
