Hmm, I love music. There is this one thing that I always say to my friends and family when I REALLY love a song "I need to feel the emotion or the soul to it" That's why I always found it odd when some people like for example reggaeton or rap. I just don't feel any emotion/soul to it. Same goes with any genre of music really but usually rap/reggaeton. Some songs from pop sound good to my ear, but still, I don't feel the emotion/soul from the singer. I don't really listen to rap that much but when I do, it's usually not the typical rap lyrics because I really do not like a lot of what is put out there.
This is an example of what I'm talking about. Artist name is J Cole. He does do the occasional stereotypical rap which I don't really listen to, but then he does this song which I really love. His messaging is pretty obvious about how he was shitty to his mother and how he wants to apologize.

Or when artist hide a hidden message in a song but not in a bad way. Best example that I can think of is Waiting for the End by Linkin Park(Lead singer is Chester Bennington where the theory is he is John Podestas bastard child). On the surface you could say it's about a relationship and moving on from it but when I heard it, I immediately knew he was talking about something else because I've been in the same mindset. If you actually look at it through the mind of Chester, you immediately know it's talking about depression. How your inner demons keep fighting you. How your holding on to the idea of being happy and a better person. How there are ups and downs where you start over and over. One of the first lyrics "this is not the end, this is not the beginning" basically is encouragement saying life has its ups and downs and that doesn't necessarily mean your life is over. I could really dissect this more if I where to go line by line of lyrics but for shortness, the hidden message of the song is really about not letting go of that hope you still have in you when you are deep in your thoughts. To always strive to keep living. If you want to here the song with the lyrics I'll put it here.

Basically the best songs for me is when I can feel where the artist is coming from. Sorry for the winded explanation 😅

Some of Eminem's early stuff had quite a lot of emotional content. Just sayin'.
He's pictured in the Q drops with Chandler. But Q has an alternative that is actually extremely good, see my comment on NF elsewhere on this thread.
