I've come to the conclusion that it takes a lot for an emcee to compose songs about nothing. A great emcee or group can pull it off flawlesly. List some artists/groups you listen to that do a great job about rapping about nothing.

ummm, like literally nothing? Or like they just rap but don't say nothing? I think I'd need an example, but I'm leaning towards De La Soul and ATCQ. Moreso De La, but Tribe makes tons of songs that are really about nothing.

I'd love to hear a rapper/group rap about literally nothing.

What do you mean by nothing? Not political/religious/dealing with societal problems? Not uplifting? Not personal?

Evry rapper rap about something, some groups just aren't pigeon holed in a certain genre.

The old school come to mind. None of those rappers really said anything.

Get more acquainted with your Run-D.M.C. Kev go listen to:

Hard Times
It's Like That
Wake Up
Proud To Be Black
What's It All About
Down With The KING
Let's Stay Together


there's more that I'm forgetting too...these dudes normally incorporated some type of message in their joints whether that be about school, relationships, striving to achieve, family, they always put something along with the dope beats and cuts, so I can't include them on this list!

SMH, Both those groups rap about plenty of topics. To say something like that, you must not be all that familar with their catalog.

For thew past decade, Kurupt has rapped about nothing. He just rhymes big words with, and it generally revolves around the phrase "molecular structure"

ATCQ

Pubic Enemy
El Segundo
Description Of A Fool
Ham N Eggs
Rap Promoter
Butter
Show Business

Everything Is Fair
8 Million Stories
Sucka bunny
God Lives Through

If Native Tongues aren't your cup of tea that's fine. But to say that they never rapped about anything is completely false.

Last time I checked, rapping is something. So rapping about rapping is not rapping about nothing. There can be many positive messages and intelligent observations.

umm Trotter Run-D.M.C. needs to be off of that list...they certainly talked about more than a few things besides Adidas and rockin the mic...I listed just a few of their songs above when they did just that...but the others on that list especially The Fat Boys really fit this thread perfectly

Youre right , FatBoys rapped about the most important thing in life. Rappers talk being hungry, but hungry for wealth not food.

Also there needs to be a rap act who raps about the emphasis of sleep. All these rappers rap about how they DON'T sleep and you can't be caught sleeping. The human body needs sleep. Itll be cool if a rap group came from that angle. They focus on sleep. They'll make songs about getting good sleep, having nightmares,waking up late, not being about to get sleep,bed bugs, and wet dreams. The name of their first album would be Catching Zs

Man Im surprised know one's said MF Doom.(Not all the time but allot)

Already woke, spared a joke, barely spoke, rarely smoke
Stared at folks when properly provoked, mirror broke
Here, share strawberry morinin, gone an more important spawnin
Torn in, poor men sworn in
Cornish hens switchin positions, auditionin' mortitions
saw it in a vision, ignorin prison
Ignoramuses enlist and sound dumb
Found em drowned in cows dung, crowns flung
Rings a tinkerbell, sing for things that's frail as a fingernail
Bring a scale, stale ginger lingers
Seven figures invigor
bunny, fresh from out the jail, alpha male
Sickest ninja injury this century, enter plea
Lend sympathy to limper simple simon rhymin emcees
Trees is free, please leave a key
These meager fleas, he's the breeze
And she's the bees knees for sheez
G's of G's
Seize property, shopper sprees, chop the cheese
Drop the grease to stop diseases, gee wiz pa!
DOOM rock grandma like the kumbaya!
Mama was a ho hoppa, papa was a rollingstone
Star like Obama, pull a card like oh drama!
Civil liberties
These little titties abilities riddle me, middle C
Give a MC a rectal hysterectomy
Electron removal of the bowls, foul technically
Don't expect to see the recipe
Until we receive the check as well as the collection fee
More wreck than section Z
What you expect to get for free?
Shit from me, history
The key, plucked it off mayor
Chucked it in the ol tar pit off La Brea, playa
They say he's gone too far
DOOM'll catch em after Jumar on cue lacka!!
Do what'cha gotta do, grarrrr
The rumors are not true, got two ma
No prob, got the job, hot barred heart throb
Scotch Guard the bar the with cotton swabs, dart lob
Bake a cake, sweet
Jamaica trade in treats on the beach
Make a skeet til her feets meet - Doom "That's That"

The track is banging tho you can never go wrong with doom,
