i second that. i know some of the people involved with ed banger stuff, and even they make fun of it. seriously! it's garbage but i don't take it seriously and i don't think they do either, so whatever. industry nonsense. >mehdi is definitely not either, IMO. it's boring. innovative? pff there's lots of weird hip-hop out there, i don't know that experimental and innovative are the same thing. bmost of it is booooring. besides, more and more i'm coming to the view that "innovative" is a BS word. real innovation is making something hot that lasts, whether it is miles away from the old or not (totally subjective anyways, you can always ALWAYS find something similar that laid the roots for something else), you're adding something substantial to the lexicon of music, so what's the dif. my hiphop top 5 right now would be something like: jjak hogan, spank rock, wolfpack (lil uno & boo ski), black milk & nametag (last 2 = 313)
