I can respect your stance. I agree to disagree. I dont think they were this below average group you speak of. Kanye is a very pick artist so for him to vibe to LP and be influenced even a little is a good thing. Atlantic Records didnt know what to do with a group like LP when they had T.I. & Missy. Pete really like LB, that is no secret. Phonte over time has proven to be well respected from plenty larger named artist and his talent expanded more with Foreign Exchange. I would put Leave It All Behind up against any R&B in the last 10 years. Daykeeper should have won grammy. Thats just being honest. Minstrel Show was lyrically and production wise, a dope LP. It had meaning, focus and it flowed. LOL, I get it. You dont like LB. It's cool.
