Need artists like Dead Prez...

I'm looking for skilled hip-hop artists, my collection is overplayed and I haven't liked the new artists I've been exploring. I love Dead Prez, anything with real intelligent lyrics/flow and a healthy dose of 'gangsta'. Another few of my favourites are:
Cunninlynguists The Roots Skinnyman Evil Nine KRS One Jurassic 5 DangerDoom Method Man
Old skool stuff like Biggie, Tupac, NWA, Snoop is great but I'm looking for intelligent modern stuff. Dubstep + UK Grime suggestions are more than welcome too.
I just had a listen to Dilated Peoples, their lyrics are shit, Dj is good though. And Jedi Mind Tricks, damn, if I wanted to listen to Big Pun I would listen to Big Pun, lol.
Please help, I'm in a slump, I dunno anyone that listens to hip-to-the-hippety-hop so I'm on my own!
Cheers folks

plexus is right. blackstar is about as close as you're going to possibly get to dead prez. in fact, dead prez is in their video "definition".
