Man, Sage Francis is probably my favorite hip-hop artist. I'm presently writing part of a paper for jazz class about "Threewrite" as a legacy of blues music.
What turns me off to a lot of hip-hop is its self-centeredness. Too many raps are just about inflating egos--the rhymes might be skilled, but when there's no other content to it they wear out quickly. Sage Francis makes me happy in that a lot of his songs get away from that tendency.

I only have one Sage Francis song. It's pretty amazing though.
The only hip hop artist I really listen to is called Nujabes. They're Japanese and they rap over jazz music that has distinct hip hop beats. I found them in the depths of the internet and don't know where I could get more, or even if they have more than one album.
Catatonik:
To the best of my knowledge, Nujabes has two albums (both of which I have) Metaphorical Music and Modal Soul.
Very smooth and jazzy music.
If you like that, A Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip, Madlib, Spearhead and Non-Prophets should also suit you immensely.

Myself I am seriously hooked on Shadow Huntaz right now....wicked stuff, very mechanized and sterile, yet brilliant stuff.

Well...I know that they contributed a lot to the soundtrack for Samurai Champloo, if that helps.

Im into abstract hiphop and triphop alot. Stuff like DJ Shadow, DJ Food, DJ Cam, Massive Attack and Funki Porcini. Dont know if they are indipendent, but I wouldnt call it commercial either.
