What kind of Jazz is this, and can you recommend me some more like it?

Been loving this awesome track by Outkast (André 3000) lately. Can you recommend me some more like it. I know it's jazz, but what kind? I especially love the drums. I don't really care for the heavy parts, so just ignore them.

The track i'm talking about is "Love Hater" By Outkast from the double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

I am not familiar with this artist so I looked it up on allmusic.

I'd post the links but I need to have 15 posts or more before the forum will allow me to do that.

Looking up artists and albums on allmusic can usually tell you what type of music it is. I was getting into jazz and once I found albums I liked I looked them up on there and found it was Hard Bop that I liked so I knew what to look for when buying more jazz.

According to allmusic Outkast is...

Genre is RAP, R&B, Pop/rock

Style is Alternate Rap, Dirty South, Southern Rap, Contemporary R&B, Pop

So it would seem Outkast is not Jazz at all.
