Mute Speaker does awesome beats, and you can grab his album for a pay-what-you-want thing: http://mute-speaker.bandcamp.com/

Prefuse 73 fucking with his MPC in awesome ways:

Sampled on the CoFlow album up there.
dropped this as a first track on a reggae system (they were my turntables) in retrospect bit dark for that crowd, one guy did come up to me and thought it was amazing, and this bass on a reggae rig was amazing

too funny:

People always wear that "J Dilla changed my life" T-shirt, which could be true. Dilla was a great producer. But to me, admittedly a late developer with regards to appreciating hip-hop, it was this guy who truly opened me up to hip-hop's sensibilities. R.I.P Nujabes.

^ I like that, better than jazzamatazz I suppose.
Sometimes I like it simple and hard:
[yt]B8aultVcsis[/yt]
beat, bass, hook, lyrics.

In terms of lyricists, I like these guys.

[yt]KBr_rAfAZQw[/yt]

The French men have some good things.

Something political from the suburbs.

A Tribe Called Quest:

Beastie Boys ft. Q-Tip:

[yt]nRZLxyfwbbE[/yt]

Q-Tip ft. J-Dilla:

[yt]LmM239iHPyQ[/yt]

Yes, Yes, Yes, YES.
Ace - will think of some more classics

I suppose one could cross-post these in the electronic thread as well, or even the jazz thread, but they're still primarily hip-hop acts.

Ok you can say the turntable is not an "instrument".
But I think it is - the energy, technique and study put into it is comparable to the greatest of other instruments.

Sounds kinda weird - amazing what can be done with just two turntables - one take, no studio shit.
