Excellent examples of rap with meaning

Aesop Rock- Gopher guts

Here Aesop Rock talks about his faults in life. He explains his dissipating relationship with his mother.

 Aesop Rock- Water

This song isn't so much of a story as a collection of metaphors about the worlds problems and how Aesop views them. The lyrics are also in the description if you want to take on the task of deciphering them .

Eyedea- Even shadows have shadows

Here Eyedea talks about his view on life. He also talks intimately about his past and inner sanity. I believe this is the best example of rap I can present.
