Agreed on that one - it's excellent and not 'proper' hip hop; much more mellow and varied. And that first video (the Way I Are - terrible grammar!), the lovely Keri Hilson - mmmmmmmmmm
Even though Eminem is more in your face, there's no denying the guy's talented IMHO, and it's quite amusing listening to him being generally grumpy in a rapper stylee!

I'm sure you'll find a good mix of tunes - you might be able to download his podcast from Radio 1 but i'm sure his albums are available to download too.

And listening to him talk is just hilarious too.
Maybe try Jamiroquai (funk/jazz/pop sort of fusion - you'll either love it or absolutely hate it). All pretty mellow but has a good beat and tune usually.
Also I like the Radio 1 Live Lounge compilations (try Amazon - they're not on iTunes) - they are full of musicians/bands covering each others' stuff in really different styles or doing their own stuff acoustic etc. Brilliant. I still think you can't beat the Foo Fighters though....
Actually for mellow I've got some of my son's nursery rhymes on iPod if you like
And you'll never get tired of them, honest (until you
)
