Aesop Rock
cLOUDDEAD
Sound Providers
Blue Scholars

I like rap that blends jazz elements in, like Sound Providers. I don't really pay much attention to the lyrics, but more the flow and rythum of their voice, the production and sound. Although I'm willing to actually try to pay attention to the lyrics. As with most music I like to listen to, I like experimentation. I've heard most rappers that are well known (Enimen, Tupac, ect.)
A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, De la Soul, Black Star. That should help you, though you might have known of them.
