What are some of the most philosophical verses youve ever heard?

[ThaRealness]

Im currently trynna write a paper comparing hip hop verses with romantic philosophy... its harder then I thought it would be. I listen to too much gangsta rap to write this shyt

So many verses I thought would be perfect, but they dont deal with philosophy in an extended way. Lotta talented rappers have philosophical gems here and there, but not an entire 16.
All I got so far is

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

Basically a song about drug addiction but also ending a relationship. Basically reaching sobriety as a means of getting over her.

​

 

[TransJenner]

"when I put ice on , I am Sub-Zero"

 

[STVNTMAN]

Days With Dr. Yen Lo - YouTube

 

[Archimedes]

These rappers got no historical context so I doubt you'll find any deep connections...

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Plies breaking down how no money will drastically change your views on life and the way people view/treat you

 

[Professor K.]

Deepest Hip-Hop song ever to me.

Forget a verse, Tetsuo & Youth can be played through as one connected track and is philosophical analysis of human psychology and behavior:

By: Harnoor Singh – DETAILED EXPLANATION OF LUPE FIASCO'S TETSUO & YOUTH Lyrics | Genius

 

[Busby]

Hov's 2nd verse on "Heaven."

 

[dish lowry]

4:15


conversation w/ his half-brother who just died...and grimm got paralyzed in the shooting
