Musicians who write some deep shitz

Something I can never have and The Great Below.....NIN

 

Pitbull! Man, he has some deep lyrics! Mr. Worldwide

 

Oh yeah, that guy's a poet!

 

haha! the man with the face only his mother could love!!

 

I don't think anybody has mentioned any rappers?
Here are few some can be consider "underground".
Z-Ro These Days
"Mama get beat by dad and you look just like your father so mama treat you bad
You feel like your something your parents wish they never had
That's the reason you out all night and never at the pad ready to whop somebodies ass
But that ain't the solution then you'll be like me and end up in an institution"

Willie D - Hoodiez
This is about the Trayvon Martin incident. Sadly current again. Couldn't find the lyrics but hopefully you understand.

 

About Pitbull if you haven't seen...

 

Mos Def and The Roots!! though I don't consider them rap.

 

oh heck noooo!!!

 

What about Aesop Rock? Wonderful rapper with some very profound lyrics.

 

And Dead Prez.

 

not a fan, but I dont doubt his talent.

 

What about Lupe Fiasco too?

 

yessur!

 

no one mentioned tupac?

try illogic, sage francis (hes okish), imagine dragons are ok too, MJ wrote some "deep" stuff occasionally, josh osho, nas

 

Peter Gabriel too, he wrote some really deep things.

 

2Pac of course. I could name plenty and you named many very deep artists.
Nas of course. Even Plies but he has very "nasty" words but they hold deep meaning.

 

LMFAO and 'Sexy And I Know it' is way more profound

 

Oh god! XD That song.

 

The presumably late Richey Edwards, formerly of the Manic Street Preachers.

"Faster"

I hate purity,
Hate goodness,
I don't want virtue to exist anywhere,
I want everyone corrupt (These lines are a quote from 1984)

I am an architect,
They call me a butcher,
I am a pioneer,
They call me primitive,
I am purity,
They call me perverted,
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave,

I am idiot drug hive,
The virgin, the tattered and the torn,
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards,
Self disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please,
A morality obedient only to be cleansed repented,

I am stronger than Mensa, miller and mailer,
I spat out Plath and Pinter,
I am all the things that you regret,
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell,

The first time you see yourself naked you cry,
Soft skin now acne,
Foul breath so broken,
He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining,
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing,

Sleep cannot hide thoughts splitting through my mind,
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors too many people awake,
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down,
I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else.

I am stronger than Mensa, miller and mailer,
I spat out Plath and Pinter,
I am all the things that you regret,
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell,

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything x4

 

Especially this version of it

 

rock your socks

 

Ha! That's pretty good actually.

 

I know. Profound, right?

 

Very.

 

Oh God, I remember dancing to that song in clubs. Thank God there are (hopefully) no photos on the internet.
