I vote for K-os as well. Especially his "Joyful Rebellion" album.
Any recommendations for introspective hip-hop?

I wouldnt listen to an artist that doesnt think their the best. If they dont even think that why should I bother listening if theres better out there. I like cocky & confident, no wuss MCs over here... Im not knockin any artists in this thread most are actually legends.

Be sure to check "Mista Mista Scarface in the Nine Deuce".
With more swagger than most rappers wish they had, Houston's greatest rapper can reflect with the best.

Blackalicious....more notably, NIA. AWESOME album. A classic in my eyes. Gift of Gab and Chief Xcel were crazy together.
Add to that some Deltron 3030, and Del's solo Both Sides of the Brain. Those three albums came out at around the same time (2000ish).
More recently, I'd say anything by Atmosphere, or Felt (though the third installment hardly came close to the second or even first)....
I'm not much into the hip-hop anymore, but was a huge fan of underground and mid 90's stuff.
