If you shout...
Rock n' Roll Doggie VIP PASS
I'm going to assume that this thread is supposed to address only hip-hoppers who are relevant, today...which means that OutKast missed the boat by about seven years and finally drowned in 2006, with one of the worst "albums" in recent memory. Big Boi made a good album in 2003, but that wasn't OutKast. It don't count.
Anyway, there are tons. Here're a few.
Dizzee Rascal
Prefuse 73
The Roots
Dead Prez
Kanyeezy
J Dilla/Jay Dee/Jaylib/etc.
MF Doom/Madvillain/King Geedorah/Viktor Vaughn/etc.
Madlib/Madvillain/Jaylib/etc.
Aesop Rock
Rhymesayers
The Streets
Common
Ghostface
...and easily my favorite of the lot, Baltimore's own, unfortunately-Rick-Rubin-loving Spank Rock
Is Tricky still around? Maxinquaye was a fantastic record, a while back.
