I agree with every sentiment, except for Talib Kweli's second album. I remember loving "The Beautiful Struggle", but granted, it's been years since I've listened to it.

If you haven't heard Aesop Rock's 'Skelethon' album, might be worth checking out. Probably his most accessible album and still one of his best.
