I'm trying to break out of my tiny music niche. I figured I'd start with rap, since it's anti me anyway. Post good rap songs that aren't about bitches, hoes, drugs, and being gangsta.

Air Force Ones by Nelly. They are about shoes.
Oh man, seriously you need some good rap, because your life will be ruined otherwise.
Listen to any of these guys (and don't worry, they're all the stuff that you want in a rapper, none of that ho's and pimp's crap)
-Cannibal Ox
-Aesop Rock
-Sage Francis
-Classified
-(maybe) Gangstarr
-Nas
All great stuff
Sig please.

lets see...
Great rappers..
WEll
Texas hiphop is out...
Ok listen to the following artist:
Tonedeff
Substantial
Mr.Mecca
PacFM
Jin
Rip Slyme
Back Drop Bomb
Jay Z(I suggest during the early 90s when he use to rap with Jaz)
Rakim
Eric B
Ice Cube
Tupac
Any rap from the 80s to early 90s will work
Also underground rappers like the first 5 I listed.
Check out an album called Jedi Mind Tricks.
I know you didn't put Jin up, Jin is terrible What you need is Nas, Kanye West, Foxy Brown Lil Kim, Tupac, Mos Def, and Biggie.
Yellow Winged Angel
Kanye West is ok, but I've seen Jin battle Tonedeff they both can flow, and on two different levels
Nas sucks
Lil Kim is a wanna be
Tupac is kewl
Mos Def is talented
Biggie..... not sure if I should call him a rapper.....
Foxy Brown sucks...
btw I'm talking about the Jin out of New York
smurf thatnas does not suck. nas is the illest MC ever. No question in my mind. He can lyrically kill anyone.
Yea when I listen to a CD that promotes "Hiphop is Dead Dec. 19th 2006"smurf that
That rapper sold out to commercialism.
Plus Nas can't flow like Tonedeff.
Get Black Star - "Black Star" immediately. Mos Def and Talib Kweli are some of the best underground MC's there are. Put them together and it's just pure magic.
Track suggestions - "Definition", "Respiration"
Then grab Danger Doom - "The Mouse and the Mask" to get silly with the amazing DJ Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, and The Grey Album fame) and the supervillain himself MF DOOM.
Track suggestions - "Old School", "The Mask", "Sofa King"
To end it, Grab Roots Manuva - "Brand New Secondhand" for some of the smoothest raps you'll ever hear. The fact he has a slight UK/Jamaican accent gives it some extra flavor.
Track suggestions - "Clockwork", "Motion 5000"
If you could be specific about what kind of production, tempo, or style of hip-hop you want I could give tons more suggestions.
What I've been listening to:
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
EDIT: Eminem doesn't rap about hoes and being gangsta, but he does rap about his problems with drugs

there was a picture here
I hate most rap, though some good songs are
Sir-mix-alot - Baby Got Back
Biggie Smalls - Hypnotize
Eminem - Mosh, When I'm Gone, Mocking Bird, Toy Soldiers
Master P. - I really miss my Homie
THough given your description forget about the first two, Even though Baby Got Back is a classic.
Ooh - De La Soul
I had no idea there was more than one kind.If you could be specific about what kind of production, tempo, or style of hip-hop you want I could give tons more suggestions.

Most people don't, which is why they look so retarded when they make sweeping generalizations about the genre.(then again, people who make sweeping generalizations about anything look retarded, so meh)
anyway, Dälek is the shiet. Most unique Hip Hop I've ever heard.
Sweeping generalization there, Mr. DK.Most people don't, which is why they look so retarded when they make sweeping generalizations about the genre.
Sage Francis. His political views are lol, but he does know how to convey them.
