Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
Assuming you don't want the stereotypical stuff, you can always go for the following.
Anything by Will Smith (often as The Fresh Prince) & DJ Jazzy Jeff. Common examples include Summertime, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Boom! Shake The Room.
A lot of stuff by Eminem don't include stuff about those things you mention, and it's actually quite good.
White & Nerdy by Weird Al.
A few songs by 2Pac are okay, along with those songs Coolio did back then.
5ive do a bit of rap!
Run DMC's stuff is also quite good.
One thing that bugs me is the whole hip hop vs. rap thing. To me if you're rapping, you're rapping, and if you're not, you're not.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
That's like saying Britney Spears and Pavarotti are both just singing when what they actually do is very different.![]()
A'yo, you have came to the right man if your lookin' for some good rap that not about what your implying. But just for the record, if you can't except Hip Hop or Rap music for what it is today, which includes sex volence, alcohol, drugs, money, cars and any other self incriminating thing I can think of, then you have no business listening to it. Don't insult me. Check my list out...
Eminem- Sing For The Moment, Toy Soldiers, What Ever You Say I Am, Just Lose It, With Out Me, Hollywood, Until The Lights Go Out, Mosh, White America
Bone Thugs -N- Harmony- First Of The Month, Breakdown, Days Of Our Lives, Crossroads, Change The World, If I Fall, Home
Naz- Poizon, One Mic, Your The Man, My Country
DMX- The Omen, Slippin' Fallin', I'm Ready To Met Him
2Pac- It At Easy, Lord Knows, Young N****s, Dear Momma, I Ain't Mad At You, Life Goes On, So Many Tears
I'll think of more later...

Nas - Take it in Blood, Carry on Tradition, Not Going Back, Can't forget about you, It ain't hard to tell, Small World, Nas is Like, Undying Love, Street Dreams, I gave you power, Big Things... I could go on forever. Nas is just awesome.
Also check out AZ and also Nature, both good friends of Nas and share a common style and views and Nas.
There is some good suggestions on here already, but you'll probably want to check out Lupe Fiasco in addition. He's a total dork. Really good.
Go for some stuff from JAson Mraz. He doesn't really rap often though you have songs like "The Remedy" and "Geek in the Pink" where he raps.
Here's some more...
2Pac- Old School,
Lil Wayne (I don't like him but he has a few good ones)- F*** The World, Husla Music.
50 Cent- Hate It Or Love It, 21 Questions
Jay-Z (I don't like him ether) Hard Knock Life
Hmm...I'll come up with more later if your still interested...
A'yo, 50 Cent was good back when he first sign with Shady Records. You can ask anybody! He my suck now but he was the s*** back then!
9Or how about when he was rapping with the Bravehearts and Illwill records?I still don't like him.
It'll be wise not to completely ignore alot of the mainstream artists, like Jay Z, Big L and 50 Cent because most of them were actually very good back in their hay day. Jay Z in particular, early to mid 90's he was better than any artist you get nowadays.
