lol no, i've been through that stage you're currently in

so what, you just found some rappers that don't "rap about guns, drugs and bitches," and you think they're dope because of that? please son, you're on some entry level shit, you don't even know how many cats are exactly like you, saying they're "tired of gangsta rap cliches"

get your underground hip hop knowledge up, from 80's until now, and you'll see there's ALWAYS been LOTS of alternatives to gangsta rap... especially in today's underground

look, the cliche in mainstream = rapping about guns, drugs, being hard, and bitches

the cliche in underground = rapping about being a "normal guy," or rapping about how you don't have to rap about generic mainstream topics... it becomes a cliche in itself

J-Live, the Pharcyde, Digable Planets, Artifacts, Black Sheep, De La Soul, the Coup, Chuuwee, Blu, One Be Lo, Freestyle Fellowship (especially Aceyalone), Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon/The Cenobites/Ultramagnetic MC's, Company Flow, Edan, Del, Gang Starr, InI, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Cella Dwellaz, J. Rawls, DJ Honda, Moka Only, Rasheed Chappell, Insight, Damu the Fudgemunk, Juggaknots, Masta Ace, Louis Logic, Souls of Mischief/Hieroglyphics, Del, KRS-1

that's just a small list of dope artists through the years that have given you alternatives to what you're complaining about

Atmosphere's dope, Brother Ali's ok, Felt is kinda boring, I don't give a fuck about Greyskul, and matious is right, Dessa gets dull. she's good to keep around for about two tracks.
