Does Gil Scott-Heron count?
No? Then no, I can't say I'm all that fond of it, or at least the vast majority of stuff that I've been introduced to and it's got nothing to do with the lyrics. Somebody brought Deltron 3030 to my attention relatively recently and I dig the songs I've heard from that, but by and large when it comes to hippety-hop I don't like how the best hook in the song is usually sampled from a better song I could be listening to instead, how unbelievably homogenized the drum beats are and how thinly spread the albums are (seriously, why do so many hip-hop albums need a minimum of like 16 tracks?). So no, I'm not really a hip-hop fan, but at the same time I don't have the fucking arrogance to assert that the genre in it's entirety is unworthy of being called music in the first place and I'm certainly open to suggestions that might give me cause for re-evaluation.

Captcha, why you gotta put a cracka down, man?
