The song "Young Americans" (click for sendspace link) from the album of the same name, and "Fame," also from that album; Bowie called the music on this album "plastic soul." Those are the only two songs I know from that album, though.
Also, do you want/need any queer hip-hop artists? I've got some Scream Club, Deep Dickollective, Soce (he sucks, but, you know), JenRO (she sucks too, but yay that she exists?), CWA (they're more jokey/novelty-ish than actual hip-hop, though). Some that I don't have that I know are out there are Miss Money and Katastrophe.
Also, I have two Gil Scott-Heron songs if you want 'em, since that's sort of proto-hip hop. (That prof. I complained about intro'ed us to a lot of cool music, including proto-hip-hop groups like the Last Poets, whose stuff I unfortunately don't have at the moment.)
Ooh -- did I ever send you Your Revolution by Sarah Jones (technically DJ Vadim f. Sarah Jones)? It's a good example of a feminist critique that (I assume?) comes from within the community, using the medium, rather than someone from the outside dismissing the entire genre as a whole just because of the problematic elements.

There's an AllMusic review here.
