Frank, you and I always seem to get into it, you are entitled to your own opinion and that is what makes this forum great, but you don't gotta insult people because their view differs from your own and just because you are black that doesn't make you an authority on black music or that your views hold more validity than others no matter who they are. Your opinions are your own and you don't gotta be such a jerk when giving them. Electric CIrcus is in fact Hip-hop album, there is more to hip-hop than rhyming over hard beats, or break dancing etc. it's a whole culture and it most definently about evolving so what they just listened to rock and tried to incorporate it into there music better them(people that actually live the culture) than limp bizkit (a fuckin gimmick). They have evolved and you don't like tha direction they are going in cool. Don't impose your one sided views of what you think Hip-hop should be and if cats started listening to hip-hop 5 minutes ago and have an intelligent enough response their opinion is also valid. I didn't hear Cody Chestnutts album but I did hear one song that did suck as far as the "neo-soul" movement nothing I heard tops Erykah's last album D'angelo's last album (people slept on that..he even owon a grammy and nobody gave him props) and Jilly from Philly. Have you heard of Kindred yet, another group from philly thats about to change the soul game. Totally unrelated your piece for DFF was excellent most cats try to make these elaborate flash pieces but your piece was short ssweet and to the point and most importantly it made me think.
