Lyrical Lovelies from Neglected Neighborhoods:

Saul Williams. The man's a poet and a rapper, and his music shows it. (Try Act III Scene 2 (Shakespeare) off his self-titled album for a taste of how awesome his lyrics are: http://saulwilliams.com/act3.html)

Actually... Tupac. His work is fantastically well-arranged musically, and then every so often surprises you with some really deep lyrics.

And most of the Rawkus Records folks are worth checking out, alternative stuff with a good sense for poetry, from all.

WriterofAllWrongs:
The Shins.
