I'd leave it to the already existing post, but I'm not really into that particular brand of rap (Lil Wayne just annoys me). I guess I have more interest in groups like Jurassic 5 and The Roots. Anyone got anything similar?
 
Murs
Aesop Rock
Atmosphere
Sage Francis
El-P
Rob Sonic
Brother Ali
Dynospectrum
Deltron 3030
Hieroglyphics
Jedi Mind Tricks
Mr. Lif
CunninLynguists
Army of the Pharaohs
Scroobius Pip


I'm sure I'm forgetting some but that should be plenty to get you started
 
since you're from the bay, support your local hiphop artists.
Giant panda, (and People Under the Stairs...)
Zion I, Planet Asia, Rasco
DJ Tonk, Shing02
Hieroglyphics, Deltron 3030, Dan the Automator, HanRABome Boy modeling school, Pharcyde
DJ Shadow, Mike Relm, Z-trip, Mark Farina (you'll probably enjoy his mushroom jazz cd's..check those out).
 
English rappers Akala and Example are brilliant and upcoming artists that have the more style and flow than many current top 40 hip hop artists, try them out.
 
I agree with you, definitely sucks compared to those two.


for the TS...

Cool KiRAB
Talib
Common
Andre 3000
Little Brother
Masta Ace
Tribe Called Quest

you'd probably like all of them
 
common
pharcyde
mos def (black on both sides)
murs
little brother
for some instrumental shit try j dilla (donuts)
atmosphere
definitely check out deltron 3030
 
DJ Shadow; Jedi Mind Tricks; Living LegenRAB; Deltron 3030.
Make sure you check out DJ Shadow Private Press best album.. but lately hes doing bad and dealing with rappers/MCs and hes music sounRAB like poop. Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow tear up the stage and make other DJs sound like rookies.
 
I would strongly urge you to check out:

Elzhi - The Preface (Ex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X4ynQ0jtdY)
Blu & Exile - Below the Heavens (Ex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2HTQp8Flvc&feature=related)
