* Naughty By Nature's 1991 smash hit "O.P.P." definitely deserves a mention. The song has an uplifting hip hop sound mixed with the classic '70s Jackson 5's "ABC" sample with a very catchy beat. However, once you realize what O.P.P. stands for [[note]]Other People's P[another name to call a cat a kitten], and for the ladies, Other People's P[rhymes with cleanest and meanest].[[/note]], you'll be shocked to realize that the whole song is a cheater's anthem.

** Also by Childish Gambino is "Feels Like Summer". It’s a rather chill, almost nostalgic sounding sound, with a music video featuring several black artists interacting and doing typical summertime activities, while the lyrics themselves are rather depressingly preaching about [[GaiasLament global]] [[GreenAesop warming.]]

* Swimming Pools by Music/KendrickLamar sounds like a typical, early 2010s hip-hop club anthem...until you hear the lyrics and realize that he's contemplating his family's history of alcoholism and his struggles to resist following in their footsteps against peer pressure.

Yes, [[SarcasmMode believe it or not]], there are examples of LyricalDissonance that can be found in Hip-Hop. As a matter of fact, it's one of the reasons why so many people can listen to it without even realizing the song is possibly about drugs, sex, violence and other mature themes.

* The French rap group Sniper has a song called "Nique le système" (Fuck the system) that discusses the CrapsackWorld of the poor neighborhoods and political atmosphere the artists grew up in, but the beat is a rather pretty violin loop and the chorus has a catchy melody that contrasts with the violence of the lyrics. Of course, if you speak French it's rather hard to ignore the title and lines like "he who sows hate will reap fire, because whether you burn them or throwing in the Seine, our young people have rage in their veins."

* Music/BoneThugsNHarmony's famous song "1st of tha Month", because of it's chorus and somewhat somber beat, seems as if it's about the sadness of having to be on welfare and rejoicing when you get the check that allows you to survive. The music video seems to reinforce this view. In reality, the song is about how drug dealers make the most money on the first of the month because that's when crack addicts get their welfare checks, and how dealers spend said money on partying and living it up.

Of course while the beat, rhythm and style of the song is modeled after dirty south (or crunk) rappers like Lil Jon, the lyrics tell positive messages and promote healthy lifestyle choices as well as a rejection of mainstream hip-hop excess in favor of reading, cleanliness, drinking water, parental responsibility and such.
