and good rap lyrics pretty much only talk about the state of inner city living and shit like that there really isnt a broad range that im aware of
I WHOLEheartedly disagree, i dont see how you can say there are no real lyricists in rap when all you hear is the mainstream crap, rap is supposed to be about the lyrics and the beat, a rapper flowing to a beat, not about guitar riffs, and fancy techno electronica enhanced voices, rap is all about lyrics, and i guarantee you you wont find anyone with deeper more metaphoric lyrics than aesop rock, his lyrics are like none ive ever heard, go download some songs by him, and jus listen, look up some lyrcis, it really is a mindfuck
