 Do You Like Ultra-Fast, Silky-Smooth Rappers from the Mid-West?

Just a few months ago I played a song by Twista from a CD my friend's friend made, and it reminded me of how much I love the ultra-fast, silky-smooth style of Mid-West rappers like Twista...
Here's the song on that burn't CD
Title: So Sexy
Artist: Twista and R. Kelly (does chorus)
^ The lyrics are the opposite of what I like to hear in Hip-Hop, since I enjoy conscious, introspective, creative underground artists like Illogic, Macklemore (just found him recently), and Living Legends (an old favorite). But Twista's style and skill in flowing is unmatched to anything I've heard in Underground Hip-Hop. Every time I hear him flow, I get so amped up and excited! I love it!
Although, I will admit most of his songs on his albums are dark, depressing, violent, or sexist, the track above is likely the most positive and uplifting (which I like).
Another artist group on that burnt CD I found is Bone Thugs N' Harmony, another one of my favorite hip-hop groups. I just recently found out they are from the Mid-West and that over there, the style is "fast and smooth". Seems like every member of Bone Thugs can flow just as fast as the other. Man, these guys got skill, I tell ya!
Here's the Bone Thug song on that CD. 
Title: The Crossroads
Artist: Bone Thugs N' Harmony
^What I like about this song, and a lot of there other songs, is that its emotional. You don't get that a lot with mainstream rap, but these guys really bring it home...And its got an important message for gangsters in the ghetto and elsewhere "No More Murder".
Here's some other songs that I wanna share, that I think fits pretty well to the theme of the Growery. 
Title: "The Weed Song"
Artist: Bone Thugs N' Harmony
^Great to blaze and zone-out to the flows...
>>> Know any other Mid-West Rappers (or anywhere) with this style of flowing?
Wanna give me some recommendations?
Quick but Smooth
