Oints - can you up one of the tracks you're talking about as being a masterpiece of ingenuity (or posts links where I can listen)? I must say I haven't heard most of the music that you're talking about but I'm always open to being schooled.
i should hope so, seeing that knowledge is infinite and we are all in search of it
Raheem Jamal & Raydar Ellis :
BOOM BOX (2007)
Diamond District: In the ruff (2009)
i cant up the whole albums, thats suming i can do in the future, i have instead opted to zip the title track of each of these albums...

"...rappers need radio for self esteem, im on some BOOM BOX, radio RAHEEM..." (c) Evidence
now, as much as ingenuity goes, you can look through my posts, i didnt say anything about the music im listening to now being pocketed with ingenuity or mind blowing innovation...they are not musical "Einsteins" that overtly come of as trying to "revolutionize" sound but they arent stagnant either. listen to them, if youve heard anyone like them, in sound, delivery and overall execution of concept then point me in their direction....id very much like to listen to them too
Innovators always have a hard time because every time they release an album they are pushing the curve rather than just giving the fans what they want to hear. This takes bravery and commitment to your art.
i dont dispute that...Keith Murray tried it...from "ENIGMA" &"the most beautifulest thing in the world" to "she looks like a candy bar"
but we need to conscious of the fact that at times taking these giant leaps of faith and broadening ones so called sphere of creation dosent always yield the required results...but if MOS has moved youl to create then i cant downplay that, in light of that, then his objective might have been reached...but let me say this; he lost one, in ME...
