if you like J5get anything by Blackalicious or on Quannum Records (previously Soulsides). They did a sort of manifesto record called Quannum Spectrum in... 1999? it's worth looking out. Also - harder to find but possibly worth it is things on Major Force (West) ... MoWax released a collection which is very good.
If you like Aesop rock check out Mike Ladd (Welcome to the After Future) and Sage Francis ... also there's a guy called Apathy who has some quite good stuff but it's proper internet hip hop

i've got everything sage and the anticon label have released. :)i'm a huge sage fan, though the last album not so much. My favourite off of anticon is Alias, really dubby heavy ugly stuff. also really getting into Dose One of late, you heard much of him?

yeah - big fanI really like the Why? and... arg - what were they called - on Ninja Tune... cLOUDED they were pretty fucked up.
You should look out some TTC and Assassin for that French feel (if you haven't seen it La Haine is a brilliant introduction to French Hip Hop). Teki Latex has a good solo album, but it's a little more hipster disco ... like Ed Banger stuff or Chromeo
