you want songs or artists:

here are a some of my favorite tracks-

Obviously if you like Del-- his best (IMO) stuff is on the Deltron3030 album w/ Automator and Kid Koala (best songs: mastermind, memory loss, 3030, things you can do, positive contact) - their second album will hopefully drop this fall.

Others:

Souls of Mischief- '93 til infinity'
Zion I & Grouch- 'silly putty' , 'Z & G' 
Tommy Tee- 'takin ova'
Jedi Mind Tricks (hardcore, but not gangsta)- 'animal rap' 'on the eve of war'
Army of the Pharaohs- 'battle cry' (same sound as above)
C-Rayz Walz- 'zelda'
Sage rancis- 'sea lions', 'crack pipes'
Aesop Rock- 'none shall pass' 'daylight' 'oxygen' '9-5ers anthem' 'big bang'
Heiroglyphics- 'adrenaline'
7L & Esoteric- 'wrestlelectro' 'feudal lords'
Cunninlynguists- 'seasons' 'lynguistics' 'mind state'
Whoridas- 'get lifted'
Bush Babees- 's o s'
older Nas stuff is good ('the message', 'affirmative action')
older Xzibit ('paparazzi' '3 card molly')

lyrics-wise I prefer MF Doom (and all of his aliases), and Aesop

Hope that helps

hilltop hoods
mos def
nas is still just as good as he was back when, but illmatic is legendary
common
talib kwali

and i've got to say this: i know everyone hates on kanye because he's mainstream, but if you'd just listen to the man you'd realize he's got real talent, reminds me of nas in his youth. i know you all are gonna hate on me for liking a mainstream artist but i don't care.

it's not "featuring ODB," ODB is part of wu-tang. and it's actually something he did solo and RZA produced.

Deltron 3030, whole album

LAX by tha game has a song called "let us live"
its very chill and made me think of AZ an Del
its not your typical westcoast gangsta rap track, it has a very underground/eastcoast(NYC) feel to it

hit it up, all of LAX is good despite not being underground
