Ever heard of Brother Ali? Listen to his album - Shadows on the Sun - and get back to me about lyrics meaning nothing.
His album contains no non-passionate sex (in fact he passes on it), while there is some violence (2 fist fights, one he started against a guy who was beating his child and wife, and the other he didn't start) and one drive-by (which he was not involved in), and no drug use.
Also try The Lifesavas - Spirit in Stone.
You rap haters always say the same thing. Why don't you try looking under the radar? J5, The Roots, Dilated Peoples, Common, Taleb Kweli, Mos Def and the like are only the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of underground acts that I don't like, that doesn't mean they suck.
Or have you ever thought that maybe *gasp* rap isn't for you? I don't like country, polka, emo music, and death metal or whatever it's called, that doesn't mean every artist in those genres sucks.
