I think Deltron, The Roots and Hieroglyphics are pretty good hip hop artists with actual meaning to their lyrics. Deltron doesn't talk about the ghetto, hoes, drugs, money and all that shit he talks about life and humorous things, and he makes it sound good and doesn't follow the standard beat. I hate rap and hip hop but I love this guy.
A lot of mainstream rappers out there think they need to follow the path set before them by projecting themselves as hard and tough when they really aren't, most of them aren't even from the ghetto or have lived a hard life like they've said they have. They're just being told by industry to dress a certain way, act a certain way, etc because this will bring them more record sales.
