Where's Neo-Soul?

What do you think about the current state of Hip-Hop Music. While it is a little bit cliche to repeat how most hip-hop music is overrun with references to flashy cars, women and material items there still seems to be a void in the alternative artists who once provided a break from this "bling bling".

Where is Hip-Hop going?

I mean, where are the Roots? Common? Erykah Badu? I hear that Mos Def is back in the studio.

My point with this rant is that a lot of the artists who offer a counter image to the materialistic message found in most Hip-Hop these days seem to be on hiatus. When are they coming back with new stuff?

I'm enjoying reading your blog. It's too bad that there is so much exploitative hip hop music which is detracting from more worthwhile artists receiving their due. I'm thinging of people like Common, Mos Def and others of course, but also quirky acts like Spank Rock, Cadence Weapon, and others.

I have posted my thoughts ona longer post at my blog:

I'd love to hear your feedback.
Peace.
