| 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.

| 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 | |

They talked about stealing food and getting thrown in jail for it. 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 | |
