or just a perfection of a particular sound.

Rick Ross "Deeper Than Rap" might be my last personal classic. And that wasn't him reinventing the wheel as much as it was him just honing in on fleshing out that JL/Runners/Inkredibles audio landscape.

He's made dope albums and mixtapes after that, but to me, that was when the recipe came together to near perfection. It was a new high without a new sound.

From then til now, we've had various artists try to separate themselves from the pack (most have been content to do what everyone else is doing lol). But I honestly can't of anything that's really made me tap on a new vein.
