Not so much accent as it is language, but I love the way rapping sounds in Spanish and Russian. Spanish is a musical, rhyming kind of language to begin with, and has a great natural cadence for hip hop. Russian seems (I don't speak it or know much about it) very consonant-heavy, which in the context of hip hop, translates as a nice variety of percussive mouth sounds that go very well with the music to me.
