it's alive and well...do not confuse 'hip-hop' and 'rap' with R&B

There are many, many artist and groups that have taken 'soul'/'r&b' in new and different directions..most notably the 'Neo-soul' movement of the late 90's and today, ie: Seal, D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erika Badu, Jill Scott (my favorite, incredible talent), John Legend, just to name a few.

-Of the artist I just listed, you will NOT find a single rap syllable on any of their albums-.

Problem with hip-hop and rap is that it dominates the airwaves thus sells the most commercial time on TV.

Patience will reveal deep rooted Soul/R&B music will survive long after hip hop perishes.
