My personal favorite has to be GZA, especially his first album and Grandmasters with DJ Muggs.
Speaking of Muggs, I've always had a soft spot for Cypress Hill.
I've always been a fan of Everlast too, whether he was with House of Pain, by himself, or now with La Coka Nostra.
Jedi Mind Tricks' new album is amazing lyrically.
Immortal Technique is absolutely fantastic lyrically.
Aesop Rock is very good as well.
I like Clipse, but hearing how much coke they're selling gets a bit tired after a bit.
Most over-rated absolutely have to be 50 Cent, Nas and Jay-Z (I'd throw Biggie and Tupac in there too, but they're gone). Nas and Jay have both had good songs and albums, but have since become so generic and over-hyped that it's sad. 50 was all hype from the beginning. The only song I ever liked of his was "How To Rob".
