Immortal Technique is pretty good, if you can put up with some of his more bullshittish politics.
Personally, I find it a lot harder to deal with Vinnie's rampant homophobia.
Also, who you knows, you may want to give some Nerdcore to try.
Look around for some Futuristic Sex Robotz.
Eh... It's good for a few laughs, but they try a bit too hard.
The Streets are good, too, if you don't mind English rap.

Get yourself "A grand don't come for free"
Streets is pretty good, but it's a bit different from most rap.
aside from what I've said so far, you might also want to look at Nas, The Roots, Looptroop (not their new one, though, I hear it sucks, Struggle Continues and Modern Day City Symphony are my favourites).
Also, hell, google Ramallah Underground, now that shit rolls deep. You can be as much gangsta as you want, but you aint shit compared to the people living in the occupied territory.
