Cody ChesnuTT - The Headphone Masterpiece (2002)

Okay, you know that song "The Seed 2.0" that The Roots released around 2003 or so, one of the most enjoyable dance songs of all time. Anyhow, they ripped that song off this fine lo-fi soul/r&b debut from Cody ChesnuTT, The Headphone Masterpiece. This is his ambitious debut double album, and it has some really nice tracks. As an entire album, it sort of misses the cut when it comes to flow. It has a lot of silly, immature filler and some of the songs just plain stink. But if he had chosen the best 10 tracks and released it as a single disc, it would be phenomenal. Don't let my negative feedback dissuade, this album is an interesting, passionate spin on r&b in the 21st century.
