And there are plenty of rappers who have much better lyrics than a lot of classic rock bands.
All based on opinion. I mean, we can run around screaming about how X lyricist is better but... well, that's just stupid. I personally love the lyrics to Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. Now, some people would just think of me as "another Metallicafag", but to me, that song helped made me who I am. it helped me be myself more and made me become more accepting of myself, less suspectable to peer pressure, and more expressive. Now, I'm not saying Metallica are the best band ever, or that they kick the shit out of rap, but that's the way I see things, and no other song, rap, quote or anything like that has helped me more than that one song in life. I somehow doubt I'll find any rap that'll influence me as heavily as that, but that's just me. Now, let's look at yours, and we'll compare messages and how they helped us in one way or another, and then... yeah, opinion!
