Avoid Rza/Pete Rock/DJ Premier by all means necessary.

Instead, worship at the altar of Ced Gee.

i could go on forever naming rappers.. but i assume you're looking for instrumental hip hop.
most classic rap albums have instrumental versions out on wax (anything from the first wave of wu-tang releases is a good place to start). also check out these labels:

Anticon
Alpha Pup
Bully
Definitive Jux
Mush
Plug Research
Quannum/Solesides
Soul Jazz
Stones Throw
Warp

2tall's list is pretty bang on but to this I'd add

Samiyam
Rustie
Heralds of Change
Mochipet
The Glitch Mob

The again it's pretty difficult to pinpoint genre's these days with everything spiralling off in whatever directions so my advice is to google/youtube this stuff... it's really what I'm listening to at the moment anyway:

Wireblock Records, anything from Low End Theory, Stuff Records, Mary Anne Hobbs video on the LA Scene, Luckyme mixtapes(on their website - mixes from rustie, hudmo, mike slott etc etc).

Just my $0.02
