check out anticon records, they're defining so-called Bay Area hip hop...sage francis (still x rated, sort of, but very very intelligent, incredible)
Sole
Mr. Lif
Common
Kanye West (eh...)
Any Tribe Called Quest stuff
Digible Planets
Old and new De La Soul
Danger Doom/MFDoom/Madvillian ('the mouse and the mask' is really pretty funny, especially for any ATHF fans out there)
RJD2Prefuse 73
DJ Shadow
also check out Definitive Jux records
as a whole, the 'backpack raps' sound is like the style you're looking for, also look for "undie hip hop" (underground independent)
luckily my local record shop has an entire section devoted to indie hip hop
good luck, hip hop ain't dead... it certainly ain't 50 cent, either...
