I've said this on this forum before, but Louis Logic is SICK.  SICK SICK SICK.  Look him up, PLEASE.  Albums = "Blame it on the Hooch" and "Sin-O-Matic."

Also, Pocket Dwellers make some very good hip-hop/jazz fusion.  They've got a jazz band, a DJ, and a VERY talented MC, and their music basically gets split down the middle between the rap side and the jazz side.  The best tracks are the ones that involve both.  Their website has some good samples of their stuff.

I gotta say, "Music to Drink By" is definately the best Louis Logic album.

Although my motto of life is: 'I don't listen to hiphop', I was most pleasantly suprised by 13&God. It's a relatively new project combining the German electronica collective The Notwist with US alternative rappers Themselves. Check them out on the Anticon site: http://www.anticon.com/a-13god.htm and see if they're going to perform any time soon near you. I was at one of their first gigs in Holland and was totally blown away.

Good list, though words can not express the extent to which Snoop Dogg has fallen off. Though I think that sentence does a pretty thorough job.

CrotchdusterCrotchdusterCrotchduster!

No, wait.

Crotchdusters 'Mammal Sauce' is pretty much the only song with rapping in it I like though.

Kompressor's collaboration with MC Frontalot is pretty funny as well, and I thought some Gorillaz songs were ok, but they were off the old album, and might have been less hip hop or something? I dunno.

But as far as hip-hop goes, it's like ska. I don't get it.

Since they haven't been mentioned yet (and their album is the only rap album I own):

Digable Planets

Rapping over sampled Art Blakey with references to Jimi Hendrix = awesome

Actually, it's not fantastic. It's a whole bunch better than the first one though. I only really felt (Ha! Get it?) 'The Two' and 'Aneurysm' off the first one. It should have been better, with Slug, Murs, and Ant. The new Atmosphere album (4th October, baby!) had better be seriously fucking great, because Seven's Travels and Felt 2 were pretty poor. Stuck was awesome though, so there's still hope.

Anyway, Listen to One Self. I saw them at the weekend and they were hellacious. DJ Vadim, Yarah Bravo and Blurum 13 = quite a supergroup. Ish. DJ Woody too, with the greatest scratching I've ever seen.

They might be mainstream-popular, but Ъпсурт are pretty good. If you know Bulgarian.

I think you missed my two favourite hip hop arists,

1. Butterfingers from Australia, they are awesome, I love the way they combine their rock with hip hop, plus funny, and political lyrics.

2. I don't really count these guys as Hip-hop, but my friends know more about music than me, Cat Empire, they're so up beat and fun.

Personally, I think Australian hip-hop has quite a different flavour from other countries, I quite prefer it.

Yeah, I've seen him twice. He was pretty damn awesome both times. He stopped rapping in the middle of some songs to do some scratching, and he was not bad, which suprised me.

Busdriver - has a ridiculous flow. Clever lyrics, too.
Cool Calm Pete - Asian rapper from NYC. Good stuff.
Edan - Hip Hop historian. Uses samples from 70's stuff to make brilliant collages of sound. See: Beauty And The Beat
MC Paul Barman - sort-of goofy white rapper. humorous.
Northern State - Female Beastie Boys. DAMN good. Check out Dying In Stereo.
Prefuse73 - Surrounded By Silence is good, but Prefuse73 Reads The Books EP is fucking AMAZING.

I'd also like to say that I actually like Kanye West. Attack me if you must, but I find his soulful production (especially on Common's latest) to be very endearing.

Most people diss his solo efforts, and rapping. He's a good producer, and I think most people agree. His production on Be is pretty kick ass.

You know who I really like? He's only half hip-hop, really, but John Legend's name speaks for itself, in my opinion. Ordinary People had me going out to buy the sheet music for his album "Get Lifted."

But we got "Reflection", which makes up for all the crap on Seven's Travels :)

Dan (and all atmosphere fans) - You may have already seen this, but if you pre-order the enw album thru 5th element, you get a autographed soemthing or other, and a bonus CD that Ant made. I'm pretty sure the url is fifthelementonline.com

Anything by Mos Def or Talib Kweli (or both) is pretty good, in my opinion. Especially the stuff on Talib's Beautiful Mixtape.

Edit: Damn, I repeated myself.
