Try Baba Brinkman, sample here.

I like it. The background music track sucks me in and the content more than makes up for the slightly-not-fitting words. ;)

Edit: Am I correct in assuming that his example is a little less distinctly hip-hop than, say, Unnamed's examples. I'm no judge of hip-hop it just felt like Brinkman was putting the emphasis on the key points that fit the rhyme and rhythm of the music.

This guy is more making a statement "I'm a dominant male. Look how I can put the emphasis on the parts that don't really fit in context or flow particularly elegantly. I must be baddass". The latter is a legitimate signal to send, mind you, I just don't feel the desire to affiliate with it whereas I would affiliate with Brinkman, who signals an somewhat different kind of status.
