Yep, but I listen to some commercial stuff as well. But no Master P crap.
Thinkers:
Roots, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Jungle Brothers, Camp Lo, Goodie Mob, Common.
Underground:
Atmosphere, Vontel, CinQue, Urban Legends, Bookie, Creeper Loco
Bouncers:
Nate Dogg, Ludacris,
Known, but good:
BIGGIE, Tupac, Slick Rick, Snoop, Dre, Easy,
Other:
Jayo-Felony, Ice-Cube, Jt. Money, House of Pain/Everlast,
Chino XL,
Then the R&B Hip Hop:
TQ, Dave Hollister, Avant, Ruff Endz, Transitions,
Anyway that's a few examples of what I like. Break it down the way you like.

Probably going to get flamed for saying this but I think Eminem belongs in the "real" hip-hop category.
Also other people -
Phaorah Monch
Talib Kweli
Nas
Jay Z

Yeah, I listen to very little of that commercial crap... the most commercial I get is with OutKast. Most of my favorites are are already mentioned (Jurassic 5, Mos Def, Roots), but here are some others:
Rahzel (Part of the Roots, but this Human Beatbox released a great solo CD)
Gang Starr/Guru (Jazzmatazz is just brilliant)
Afu-Ra (Whirlwind Thru Cities... great song)
And I'm more offended by Jay-Z's presence in this thread than Eminem's...

Legal Drug Money is by far their best album. Mr. Cheeks has a solo album, you may want to check out if you haven't yet.

I think the new Q-Tip will open some eyes. His last one was pretty weak, but from what I've heard (maybe?) online from the new one, it'll be nice.
The Roots, BlackStar, Common, De La Soul, J-Live, J5, BEP and Dilated Peoples are some of my favorites.

And no, i DO mean nerd rap.
Vanilla Ice and Eminem are both white boys, not in the same category.Del is a nerd but i wouldnt call him nerd rap (i LOVE del by the way).
Nerd rap isnt meant to be an insult, just a style.

Antipop Consortium
I have to qualify this and say I've never been into hip-hop at all. I'm more into indie pop, electronica and postrock stuff. Antipop Consortium combine all those styles with an experimental sound that I found incredible. Voices as instruments, orchestral samples, IDM beats and twitches and literate, multi-layered lyrics. They're from the underground hip-hop scene in NYC from what I've read.
I highly recommend their new CD, Arrhythmia, on the Warp label.
