So then I downloaded the original Citizen Cope - bullet (

Talk about a guy who needs a clean acoustic sound to showcase his incredible voice. It's like what Phil Spector did to the Beatles later ****. Ugh.
I dunno maybe it's just because I heard the live version first. Very curious what other's think of the three songs.
I really need to figure out how to get the live version from youtube into something I can listen to on my iPod.
Also, not to offend the rap purists in this thread, but this is the kind of stuff I really really like - rap mixed in with some funk or catchy rhythm hooks or space sounds or whatever (IE - Trick D and Cee Lo - Dro in the wind, Knocturnal - Muizk, Noreaga - Nuthin' -- you can tell I've been out of the loop for a while).
Any more recommendations along these lines would be greatly appreciated.
