Why the hell not? what's wrong with any of these groups? I'm not too familiar with Project Blowed but the future of hiphop definitely includes Madlib and Blackalicious and I'm glad. Those are names that I trust for good ol' quality hiphop.

Don't worry, it won't be. There's nothing at all wrong with a good concept album every once in a while.

Don't know about them. I appreciate the zealousness of some of the more hardcore cracker-oriented hiphop, but they don't know the whole story, so while there's certainly room for groups like this, i wouldn't necessarily want to see hiphop in the hands of groups like this. They may do as much harm as good.

hiphop starts and ends here if you let corporate fuckville tell it.

Why not? Hiphop is being fused well with Jazz (Roots, Madlib, Guru) rock (Outkast, Qtip?) and other genres. I see nothing wrong with it as long as its done well and the essence of hiphop isn't completely tossed out.
