I tried to, but I just coulnd't stand the rythm or the rapper's voice.
Sorry but the genere just isn't for me.
The one song that might classify as rap/hiphop that I do enjoy is https://youtu.be/KD59LJX2r38 though is has a lot of pop in it, the video is quite cool, and I would be lying if I said that I would not like to have a fur baseball cap.
It helps if there's a transcript to read along with it. Zack De La Rocha from Rage Against The Machine has a verse at the end of that song that hits really hard, because he's a great lyricist.
There's a line in El-P's verse where he says "hand on my heart and my mind on my drugs, got a Vonne-gut punch for your Atlas Shrugged," and the whole song is about modern ultra capitalism and our state of society at large.
