To the cats that feel Soulquarians are boring and non-innovative:

Most artists mark their music. When you here an Ali Shaheed Mohammed beat, you can tell it is hear. When you hear Stevie Wonder productions, you can tell that it was produced by Stevie Wonder. When you hear a song produced by Prince (even when it is sung by a different artist) you can tell that the song is produced by Prince.

This is the way way I feel about the Soulquarians productions. They have marked their music. This will make them known as ORIGINAL......

As one okayplayer would say..... I forget his name.... "Hey boys and girls.... the word for the day is ORIGINAL".

Let's also remember, hip-hop is an art,just like painting is an art. People see different things in art, just like hip-hop.

For example, me personally, I did not feel 2Pac because I don't get a feeling from his music.

But I can feel Soulquarians and Ali Shaheed because they're music reminds me of when I was a kid and my family and I would take long road trips to my grandmother's, and my parents would play the old school stuff in the car. When I hear Soulquarians and Ali Shaheed's music, it just takes me back to those times and relaxes me.

That is how an art fan looks at things. It is how it makes them feel when they hear or see it. So for you to say that it is boring and non-innovative, I have to ask the question, "Compared to what?"

So my question is, what do you listen to that is straight innovative and is not repetitive?

Peace!!!!!!
