Samurai Champloo had an awesome soundtrack.
50 Cent is retarded, him and his listeners are caught up in that hunk of mainstream mentality.
One suggestion to get you started off that I stumbled across rather recently would be Sol.iLLaquists of Sound.

Other than that, the better rap releases of 2007 Canibus' For Whom The Beat Tolls, Pharoahe Monch's Desire, and Talib Kweli's Eardrum are definitely worth checking out.
