i just typed in define: innovative into google. but honestly it really makes no difference since my definition is compatible with yours. in order to change something you have to do something new or original. it doesn't mean the entire thing is invented out of thin air but the innovation has to be somewhat new and fresh.
in the case of the chronic, the sound they introduced was new and fresh. straight outta compton was not g-funk. the chronic is a completely different type of rap music from staight outta compton. saying it's not innovative just cause gangsta rap had been done before is like saying straight outta compton wasn't innovative because politically/socially charged rap had been done before.
