Sure, no one should be in a box, but I love the production of his earlier stuff so much more than what is on this one. The only two songs on this album I love from first listen are "I'm Innocent" and "Can It Be" and both of those have the old-school, soulful production that I love so much.
    You read way too far into that going to WB thing man... wayyy too far. His album with the exception of "Lookin' Fly" (which is a tight song), has that Murs feel to it... lyrically and instrumentally. I honestly don't know what you're hearing at all, because I'm not hearing a mainstream out of the box album... I'm hearing Murs build off dope connections and roots and use his experienced knowledge of the rap game to do something hot, and still rap with prophecy.

      Heltah Skeltah all day baby. Anyone peeped their new joint?
      The first 7 tracks I disliked and got discouraged... but then the following 7 or something tracks were all hottt... way to be consistent lol.

      I personally love Sean Price MUCH better than Rock, so Heltah Skeltah has never been one of my favorites, but it gives me some decent material... can't turn away from that.

        I have to agree with cliburn, I just don't see what you're seeing man.

            I don't know why so many people don't like the Murs album that much, it's pretty good to me.

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              This is not to be confused with the two instrumental joints he dropped in '06 and '07 -- Beatz, Vols. 1 & 2... even though I think these albums are worth owning as well.

              I'm down with Large Pro. I gotta check it out.

                BTW I'm behind on 08's underground scene. Any must haves so far? I got Elzhi's 2, 1 of Torae's, Murs Sweet Lord and MFP(soon), and prob. like eMC a couple early ones. Are there any besides those that I really need? My Zune is pretty empty of new stuff

                  Preview every song off of "Leave It All Behind" at Amazon


                  I dunno too much! I still look forward to it and my favorite song so far is "Something To Behold" at least of the preview and the sampler they gave us.

                                Probably the day the digital release becomes available. Maybe a day or two before, but I doubt it.
