The only one I've come across is Atmosphere, their lyrics actually have some meaning... usually. Like...

Took a right on Lyndale I'm getting near
But then the road became empty and the people disappear'd
The clowds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standin in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, starin at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone


There's probably better out there, but I don't listen to enough rap to know =P

Phluck gave me some hip-hop by Soul-Junk and I really dig it.

Intelligent rap is usually the only rap I like with exception to DRE cause you gotta love the D R E. Anyways here are a few artists:

A Tribe Called Quest(I cannot believe no one mentioned them)

Deltron 3030

The Pharcyde

Jurassic 5

Atmosphere(coming to bonnaroo)

Common(also coming to bonnaroo)

Umm I do not mean to be offensive but that Jewish rapper maybe someone know I'm starts with an M i think.(he too coming to bonnaroo I belive)

Del tha funky homosapien(in Deltron 3030)

Danger Mouse

DangerDoom(danger mouse and MF Doom)

Damian Marley for some hip-hop/reggae.

Hope this list does you well.

Well, I feel like I say this in every hip hop post ever, but 'rap' is a verb, my friends. hip hop is the music. if you hear someone call music 'rap,' it probably sucks and is radio fodder.

now everyone go listen to eyedea and/or mf doom

Actually according to krs-one I think he said that rap was music, but hip hop was a way of life.

rap can be used in two forms. the first as you said would be as a verb. (ex. "to rap").
but rap can also be used as the name of the music style. (ex. "rap music").

BEASTIE BOYS!

I'm also surprised nobody mentioned K-OS. Is he unheard of outside Canada? Check it out if you haven't.
