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.
