Cleanest Rappers
TommyBranca These rappers don't swear in their music…unlike Lil Wayne, Dr Dre, and the angry white boy whose stage name is the pronunciation of a candy.The Top Ten
1 NF
Nathan "Nate" John Feuerstein, whose stage name is NF, is an American Christian hip hop rapper, singer and musician from Gladwin, Michigan.
Nathan "Nate" John Feuerstein, whose stage name is NF, is an American Christian hip hop rapper, singer and musician from Gladwin, Michigan. REAL. NF is someone who cares about authenticity and will not settle for living and selling a fake, double life. His music may not be the best out there, but he is committed to being real and trying his best, regardless of what is popular or not. He is definitely my favorite artist and someone I look up to.
Not my favorite rapper (love his music though), but definitely the cleanest.
He is the cleanest rapper to me. He does not talk about drugs but about life and things he has passed through and things he passing through.
He never curses, and sing/raps about real life things that people can relate to. My favorite artist.

Anyone thinking that the prince of Bel air is explicit you got another thought coming
He barely cusses, but he does have sexual references in his songs.
Yeah, who doesn't have sexual references in their songs though? Most artists even outside of rap do. - DaWyteNight

Lecrae Devaughn Moore, mononymously known as Lecrae, is an American Christian hip hop artist, songwriter, record producer and actor. He is also the co-founder of reach records. He does have a few songs that talk about drugs, violence, and other things most rappers talk about, but he views them all in a biblical sense. Even his song Runners (about adultery) is a perfectly clean song. - LarkwingFlight
First of all, I love will smith, but he only has 1 or 2 good songs. I love “Miami” that’s where I’m from and he describes it perfectly, but Lecrae has had way more good songs with good lyrical content. And he is a Christian rapper which makes it even better. #2 rapper of all time in my opinion.

I agree he tries to keep his rap clean, but he doesn't try super hard to. But I do agree he does try harder than other rappers - m5w
Very clean in his music videos and tries to keep the lyrics clean.
He’s not clean. He raps about nuttting all over peoples faces and effing your b words. Half the time the verses are nothing but the n word, and deal with horrible subject matter.
