I've had a hard time getting into Aesop Rock, but he comes up so often I should try again.

I have enjoyed most Busdriver that I've heard, but I admit I often have to look up his lyrics to understand them, and it's probably discouraged me from exploring his catalog more than I have. My fave that I've heard of his is Much, partially because he slows it down a bit.

Digable Planets - I only knew them for The Rebirth of Slick for decades. Took a deeper look a couple years ago and was blown away. They are high on my list now. Love their sound. Good recommendation there!

I've got to also recommend Brother Ali.

I hear you on Busdriver, I tend to not listen to the words and just hear it as a sort of instrument so it doesn't matter what he's saying. But for those that do, I could see it being too much, same with Kool Keith.

I'll check out Brother Ali, I've heard of him but not his music.

IMO you are in for a treat. His voice is something else IMO and I love his style.

Here's one of my favorites (fairly, ah, opinionated): Uncle Sam Goddamn

Also -

Can't Take That Away (Just nice.)

(Also pretty opinionated:) Mourning in America
