Deeper than the ocean and you deserve it come to mind off top... and I don't even like Future so I can't name a third
What is your definition of substance?
So we know that Young Ma is done but what about Fetty Wap...is it a wrap for him too?

Substance must mean different things to different people, cause based on those tracks listed, most of them I can see exactly why they would be listed.
Having poetic content; emotionally and/or intellectually. When it comes to rappers of substance, it means communicating something memorable that resonates because of how thoughtful it is or how much feeling/passion it has. Thoughtful doesn't have to be serious - it can be hilarious. Witty, etc. Big L was rarely ever 'serious' but he said a ton of poetic/funny/witty shyt that resonated.
A lot of new rappers have nothing to say - whether emotionally or intellectually.
Let's take J Cole for an example. You post a J Cole line - on paper it's dull as fukk. Meaning that intellectually, it doesn't resonate. The way Cole delivers the line (voice, cadence) is also dull as fukk. So emotionally it doesn't resonate. He's just a wack rapper. He doesn't make anything of substance, despite his stans saying otherwise.
Rocky makes music of substance. It's very passionate and creative. Does he say anything thoughtful? Almost never. "Demons" is probably the closest: "A rebel to my death - it's in my flesh it's in my vessels". What makes the line stand out in the song is the voice and cadence with which Rocky delivers it. It's passionate and adds to the feel of the song.
I hope that helps

In short there is a reason why damn near 20 years later Money Cash Hoes and Money Power Respect are classic records...And fukk up some Commas is a period song that barely gets rotation anymore...
Where are these records considered classics at? I see your agenda.
I'm so dead off this post during my lunch break that it makes me want to drive to Rosecrans & Bradfield after work, take a picture of the signs, and paste that quote onto it.

He's garbage just like all the rappers today. But if you are a retard you will love Future's music. Oh and nikkas from the hood are the biggest sellouts on the planet.
Future been here since 2010 and he def has substance.
You must be a suburban ass nikka but if you listen his shyt mad relatable to anyone who ever lived in the hood.
Don't make me post the actual tracks

So if I like Kendrick Lamar and then it makes me smart?
Yall weirdos.
I'm a future fan and a fan of literally almost every artist.
Everyone beings something unique to the table.

The real question is what happened to RHQ since Jeff broke his heart?
