While it's good, I tend to view "Main ingredient" the start of a certain vibe I'm not too fond of:laid-back, fender rhodes samples and a sleepy neo-soul vibe. Tribe's "Midnight..." had it too but the beats knocked.

Both those albums are WAY to long though for CL to hold the attention throughout regardless of how good the beats are; I like Cl as a rapper but he was not the type of guy to hold down 80-minute albums, neither in flow nor subject matter...
