Recommend me some good rap?

I'd like to expand my rap horizons more. I like Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Mos Def, Tech N9ne, that's about it. Lupe Fiasco and Kid Cudi are ok. I like music with good flow, minimal auto tune, real hip hop. No Lil' Wayne or Kanye West please.

If you could recommend me some good tracks by The Roots too. I wanna get into them.

Update:

@Nick- Did you really just recommend that I listen to Psychopathic Records bands? You've gotta be shitting yourself or crazy.

Biggie and 2pad are good, I like Tupac better. I've never checked out Nas though, I'll listen to him.

    Some of my favorite rappers...definitely Pac Div, their really creative and have a nice west-coast flow. As for heavier rap i'd say Canibus, great song is dead by design, but he's really smart and talks a lot about science so it's not always easy to understand, the whole heavy mental album by Killah Priest, RZA on 'sunlight' from the wu tang album 8 Diagrams. liquid swords album by gza is pretty good as well, especially the 'i gotcha back'. And i think you'll like Kendrick Lamar, his album section.80 is pretty great!
