slam is an awesome movie,saul williams is outta this world.
other good hiphop acts are out there,aesop rock,defjux,haiku de tat,
blade, and i like alot of apocalyptic folk.
acts like cocorosie,joanna newsom,pentangle,milenasong,the books.
stuff like that,

but music to define this generation i think is indie.
people like cat power,modest mouse,wolf parade,smog.
