    Common- Be, Faithful, Love Is, Black Maybe, Forever Begins
    Jurassic 5- Freedom
    Kanye West- Everything I Am, Roses
    Lupe Fiasco- Hurt Me Soul, American Terrorist, Little Weapon (lupe's verses)
    Mos Def- Most of his songs
    Nas- The Cross, Let There Be Light
    The Roots- too many to list
    Talib Kweli- I'll just say Good Mourning, one of my favorite songs ever, but like Mos and the Roots, most of what he's done is up there for me

    Woefully underrated song.

    My picks:

    Tupac - Changes, Keep Ya Head Up, Unconditional Love
    Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
    Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (maybe the finest hip-hop song ever)
    Common - I Used To Love H.E.R
    Immortal Technique - Dancing With The Devil, Harlem Streets, Industrial Revolution
    Mobb Deep - Survival of the fittest (never heard a more grim, gritty description of 'gangsta' life)

    and a million others I can't think of right now.

    Eminem - White America
    2Pac - Hit 'em Up, Trapped

    Saul Williams - everything. More like hip-hop/poet though. Some specific awesome titles:
    List of Demands
    Black Stacy
    African Student Movement
    The Ritual
    Niggy Tardust

    Awesome talented artist. You owe it to yourself to discover him. (And he does an absolutely kick-ass show too)

    Yours are fine but I do not really find Eminem very "deep", Jay Z isnt deep, Doggystyle isnt deep, and even most Tupac isnt deep.
