i would say there's a lot of hip hop in Los Angeles. hip hop doesn't need to have lyrics or standard basslines to be hip hop. the beat in almost every track on that record screams 'hip hop'. it's like hip hop with a chill-out/ambient/electronica feel. i see how it could get boring to some people, but to me it's more of an ambient album, back-ground music. it's great when you take a walk, or just take a nap. there are a lot of inspirational ideas on some of the tracks.
