it doesn't have to be a group.. individual songs that have a good beat and have alright lyrics will do :]

A lot early Tupac works are pretty good, pre-Death Row days.
De La Soul
Common
Despite what people may say.. Kanye West. Diamonds from Sierra Leone (remix), Jesus Walks, Through the Wire all had some dope lyrics.

Dynamic Duo has some good lyrical stuff, but I only noticed a handful...
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

I second Lupe Fiasco & 2pac! (Those were the 1st ones that came to mind, but other people already mentioned them.)
Also, they're more underground artists, but music by Tonedeff, CunninLynguists (dirty group name, but many meaningful songs), Brother Ali, PackFM...

Currently on major hiatus.
