What are some well written rap songs?

Question

I am looking for rap artists that are also a good writer of rap. I have been listening to Atmosphere and i think they are pretty good. Anyone know other artists? Another example is the legendary 2Pac.

In simple words, I am not looking for rap that plays in bars and clubs. NO "shake that ***" or "lean down..." or whatever else they play.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hands up by Busta Rhymes.

Answer 2

To name an artist, I would say Nas. Nas is a lyricist. There have been a lot of songs he has done well. Songs I've always liked are: "Life's A *****," "The World is Your's," "Purple," "2nd Childhood," "Doo Rags," Still Dreaming," "Just A Moment," and "Thugz Mansion."
I love the way how he can tell stories in his songs; like in "2nd Childhood," he tells of how adults can still be childish as if they were in their second childhood.

public enemy, wu tang, raekwon, old mobb deep,notorious big,methodman bob just got block so he cannot think.


but for mobb deep, anything pretty much after 2000 is a bunch of ****, when they was broke shook ones part ll types of joint were legendary, but now that they rich they aint real no more so their rhymes are a joke.

Answer 4

Practically anything by Public Enemy. Don't let the band's name fool you. They're message is deep and relavent. Chuck D is an amazing lyricist and his delivery is unmatched.
