Any rap worth listening to?

Most of you might know I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop. However, there are a tiny number of hip-hop bands I do like: namely Public Enemy, N*E*R*D, MC Frontalot (I know that probably doesn't count). I've branched out my interests in all sorts of genres but sort of refused to branch out in this particular one because they all sound the same, and the musical and lyrical quality isn't very inspiring.
So, humor me. Tell me which hip-hop artists I should be looking towards.

Other hip-hop artists I've listened to and liked: Ultramagnetic MC's, Mantronix, The Roots, N.W.A., Paris.
A top 50 list from a music site I lurk from: http://www.musicmete.../topmisc/hiphop
Then there's Urban Dance Squad, a Dutch rap/rock crossover group you may like.

I must have missed the part where he said he was looking for a soundtrack to listen to while he shoves his nuts up his little brother's butthole.

Everlast? Don't own any of his albums nor do I remember liking anything House of Pain did, but all of Everlast's solo material that made it to the radio was pretty damn good (What it's like, Ends, White Trash Beautiful, etc.)

Cross stick rhythms and a couple of scratches do not make hip-hop.

some favorites off the top of my head. there is plenty of good rap out there with talented lyricists and inspiring instrumentists, you just have to look beyond the wall of shit that's presented to you on a daily basis just like in every genre of music, movies or art in general. hope you can find some stuff you like in that list and dig from there
