The Chronic is not a "different" type of rap.

It IS gangsta rap period.

It is artistic but that does not mean it is "original"
You seriously don't think that it's possible for there to be different levels of how innovative someone is? It's just one set standard? Yes what you describe is innovative, but so is what JWB describes. I have a question, how many hip hop/rap artists have you listened to that are from 2000 or later? Where are you coming from with your claims that none of them have ever done anything innovative in any shape or form?

And what artists do you consider innovative (can be within any genre)? Let's look at those with the same lens that you hold for modern music and prove how nothing can be innovative ever unless it came from Soulflower's designated time frame.
