Alright, so I haven't listened to some quality Hip Hop / Rap in the longest.
Looking for suggestions, so please post the videos here.

Please don't post Lil Wayne garbage. He's got like 1 OK song.
Underground rap is fine.

I'll start with some of my all time faves:

Hip hop has gone out of the mass market places, probably for a good reason, we're all hoping for a comeback, maybe? I think to find the good good shit, you have to look underground. Start locally. I got curious one day, although I don't listen to this garbage as much as I did in highschool, my curiosity got the best of me. I started listening to a local hip hop station, I found this gem...err asshole... I have mixed feelings about hip hop music, or any nu scene music appeal, part of me wants to listen to it, but it will never resonate with me like it did when I was younger. I still respect the hustle.

More modern, and political... Music with a political angle is extremely hard, but this guy does it extremely well.

I tried to edit, but not allowed after 10 mins. Here it is:

nm... not sure why I can't embed this one. Anyway, it's worth a listen if you like lyrics.

Also, stop it about about a minute early to not see some ugly war shit if that bothers you. (and I'm not a fan, myself.)
 
Yep Lowkey is really good.
