I used to be obsessed with hip-hop but I haven't really kept up with it for the last five/six years. What's good?
I'm interested in commercial rap (lil wayne, soulja boy and all that shit), underground rap (madlib/stones throw, black milk and so on), instrumental stuff (lukid, fly lo blah blah) etc. As long as the beats aren't boring and the rappers aren't on some sixth-form poetry steezLE.
Youtube links would be handy.

There's a lot of good shit out there, and even more trash. To be honest, the best way to tell the two apart is to listen to what's available:
HiphopDX has some good mix tapes and free releases:

Thehoodinternet is loaded with hiphop mashups for white people (which is hot right now):

Fresh off the press.......Two Fingers LP on Big Dada Records!
"Two Fingers are Amon Tobin and Joe 'Doubleclick' Chapman. The pair met when Tobin lived in Brighton and bonded over an interest in music that ran way beyond the boundaries of electronica. Last year, while Tobin was living in Montreal, they began bouncing beats back and forth, trying to apply production techniques associated with UK styles like drum & bass to the template of hip hop. When they had a few tunes together they sent them to Sway. He was so taken with what they were doing, he flew straight out to Montreal and recorded seven tracks with them. The remaining rhythms were voiced by sometime Missy protege Ms Jade and dancehall legend Cecile. The result is a project unlike anything that any of the three main players has ever made before, a unique, utterly uncompromising, brutal record that could only have grown out of the UK and the internationalism of those involved"
