you must be listening to some of the trash rap.
there are tons of rappers that use an amazing vocabulary, and to not know of this is rather unfortunate.

But lyrics as a whole can have a lot more meaning than how many different words you can put out. Can't really say much about that because i haven't listened to enough rap. Or i have, but I've never paid attention to the lyrics.
On topic
I don't like or dislike genres in that way. Even in the genres i consider bad, an artist can completely throw around my view of it.
That said, most rap is pretty bad imo :/
It's the whole "gangsta" thing that isn't working out for me. The rap industry spawns more lil waynes than shakespeares, if you know what i mean.
If the rap is made without lyrical thought, i like artists such as dogg pound, snoop dogg (early records), nujabes, oddateee, and eminem (early records, especially infinite).
I'm open for lyrical recommendations. I listened to wu-tang when i was younger, but didn't pay attention to the lyrics.

Check out this song by Brothers 4 The Struggle - Prodigal Sun
GZA - Liquid Swords album some Of this may not be serious, but it's rhyme and vocabulary heavy with deadly beats.
Sunz of Man may not by your thing, but they also have some pretty sick lyrics like Deep in the Water, these guys are quite unique and has some very diverseniggahs
