I thought I was over hip hop for a while, until something new and less materialistic, less misogynistic, less self-aggrandizing comes along in the scene. And that was okay with me, because I have enough Common, Mos Def, Roots, Black Eyed Peas, Missy and dancehall to listen and dance to for a bit, until the music scene shifts and comes back with something more inspired again.
But then I noticed props given to the Bay Area on slate.com for the best new style of hip hop. USA Today even gave the Bay some love. I was going to tell you all about Peter, Bjorn & John, but I got all distracted and stupid over hyphy, yarrimean?
