If you just like the beat then it's basically the same as any other rap, the plus side is the lyrics are a lot better [because they don't talk about money, cars, & girls who will do ANYTHiNG for money].
Here's a list of a few.. i don't know if you'll want to check them out or not. I honestly think they're awesome [and it's the only type of rap i will listen to anymore].
Grits, Lacrea, KJ-52 [he's got a really good song called "Dear Slim"], John Reuben, & TobyMac [there are more, you just have to search for them].

"Old School" by Danger Doom & Talib Kweli is also pretty awesome. The lyrics are almost entirely clean and they're also really clever.
I'm also pretty sure that "Freeze" by k-os doesn't have any swear words either.

Vitamin C - Graduation Song
Brian McNight - Back at One
Missy Elliot - Work It
Xscape - Your my little secret
Lil John - Lovers and friends (clean version)
Usher - (most of his songs are school appropiate-
*TIP* Try to google the songs that you do like if you don't like any of these and just type in the name of the person, name of the song and clean version. [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]
