Rap to relieve my need for human conversation

Basically I'm looking for intelligent hip hop that feels like some funny friend full of ideas, or even like a catchy podcast.
I'll give you some example themes from the only rapper I know like this (who unfortunately doesn't rap in English):
- four 30yo nerds who only every skated in videogames, just to "make something happen", build experimental skateboards and go try them on the ramp, badly hurting themselves under the puzzled, incredulous eyes of the real skaters
- he goes for a day by imagining that all the people he meets are spirit guides; or he thinks he can read into people mind using a magic technique, but his interlocutors are just confused and have the feeling he is imagining a dialogue that never took place
- he arguments with a friend on what the real meaning of fight club is
- since he didn't discover drums as a kid he had to channel his love for rhythm in dancing lessons, and he recounts the experiences were the female college psychology students try to prove that he is gay etc.
- how he started listening to rap just because he needed to relieve his need for human conversation
I've already explored a lot of rap to find something similar, but when someone suggests me a "smart" or a "creative" or a "funny" rapper it's always someone who makes cheap wordplay or goes on and on and on about how difficult it is to grow up in the ghetto. Or sometimes it is just non-sense garbled for the heck of it, that you can't understand until you look every sentence up on rapgenius (like Death Grips).
The things I've found that at least remotely comes near what I'm looking for are early Eminem and A Tribe Called Quest.
Please help me, hip hop connoisseurs.

For some reason this makes me sad. I love you OP. If you want an interesting conversation, talk to your friends; the ocean, the sky, the sun, the animals, your heart and your soul.

Let me know if you like any of these and I'll try to think of more. Also who's the rapper you're referring to?

I only read the first line and I know some artists like that but they are all German.
Do you speak German?

sounds like you need to stop being a dweeb and get a friend, then leave hip hop alone forever and stick to poetry slams or something

Thanks for the kind words. I will try talking to animals and to my soul, they seem the easiest. My friends have all ended up either married (and thus without much time, and with a whole set of new problems and interests that I don't get) or completely alienated from society.

Thanks for the suggestions. "Birth of a fish" was the only track I already knew, and I would have added to the short list of things I've liked, if only I had remembered the name. The artists I was referring to are "Uochi Toki", but they only rap in italian.

Oh yes please! I'm listening to German rap on online radios and I find it very interesting indeed. A few songs I liked that come to mind now: JAW - Ausreden, Prinzip PI - 16bit vs PS3, Amewu - Schnittmenge. The only problem I have is that germans don't seem to like torrenting very much, so I'm limited to rip single songs from youtube.

It's not easy to get new friends at my age (>30) and when I do they are usually people with a family who don't really enjoy talking about less practical things. Lol about poetry slams.
