Unfortunately, my musical tastes in this department are sorely lacking. I'm not sure if Tyler the Creator and OFWGKTA count as "intelligent" hip hop.
I did love Tech N9ne's collab with Chino Moreno and Stephen Carpenter though. Blew me away. EDIT: I totally forgot Saul Williams. He basically blends slam poetry with hip hop and is one of the most well-versed rappers I know. Last edited by Imako; 2012-03-16 at 21:09.

In my mother tongue (Tagalog), Gloc-9 is the exception for me, however, as he's currently the top dog in the neighborhood (since the demise of hip-hop pioneer Francis Magalona).

I loved it.
On other side of the hip hop spectrum, Odd Future's second collaborative album came out today. As part of it, they came out with this supposedly spur-of-the-moment music video for the final track of the album (featuring Earl):

Yes Odd Future technically counts as "intelligent" hip hop. Darker and more towards the horrorcore side of things, but noticeable effort is place in lyricism and various other aspects. I used the term "intelligent" very loosely when creating this thread because hip-hop and rap were not looked upon very fondly by the anime community at the time. But as with all things, share some quality content and let the listeners decide for themselves and perspectives will change over time.

Of late, am a bit curious about Mos Def (because last time I heard there were some positive reviews about his work), and I'll want some recommended tracks from him to listen on. Will be happy if there are any.

Outside of tracks on the five aforementioned albums, my favorite songs of his include: "Travellin' Man" "Life Is Good" "Next Universe" "Summertime" "Jam On It" "Brooklyn (Original)" He's done a lot in his career, so I'd advise checking out his discography. As you can probably tell, Mos is my favorite artist.

@Dilla @Elo: again, thanks for the recommends; the tracks will make my tomorrow's ride to the beach pleasurable (about three to six hours on the road with an old friend and his family).

"Proto Culture" is one of my favorite hip hop songs.
On another note, how underrated is Pharoahe Monch? Outside of his verse on "Oh No" with Mos and Nate Dogg and the two tracks he was in on "Soundbombing II", I hadn't really listened to him for the longest time. I finally listened his debut solo album, "Internal Affairs", a few weeks ago, and I loved it.
