Aesop Rock anyone? Hes an "underground" rapper I guess you would say. I don't even remember where I heard of him, but hes hands down my favorite.

Also early Jay-Z, Nas and Notorious BIG are all amazing.

I have a hard time finding other rappers I like, almost everything coming out these days seems terrible to me. For instance I hate the new Jay-Z album, and the last couple Nas records can't touch his earlier stuff imo.

edit: oh shit Achilleslast mentioned Aesop while I was typing this, glad somebody else has heard of him, I'll have to check out sage francis
