This is why I always dispute people calling SH the only 'real lyricists' left and bullshit like that lmao; there's fucking loads of amazing rappers out, just gotta look for 'em.
Their subject-matter seems to be similarly limited though.
4th and 6th links here will show you there subject matter isnt as limited. And they have many other conceptual songs.
For example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDPXS4HOu_U
And then one of the most lyrical songs of recent memory:

Checked 'em both... they're very lyrical, and great rappers; even those songs though... they seem to make pretty literal songs. The way they rap is creative, but the songs aren't.
Interested in hearing more though if you know of any like, left-field / conceptual songs by 'em.
The first link here "Deadbeat West" is comparing their Fathers that left them to the rap game. You don't think thats pretty conceptual?
Heres some more great tracks:
