Sometimes artist want to try something different. Albums that are totally different from the artist catalog Or what you weren't expecting before the album came Such as what ghostface did with wizard of poetry, Andre with the love below, Kanye 808s, commons electric circus, rza bobby digital album, yelawolf love story or even mos defs December 99th. Some fans only want their artist to give them what you been giving them others dont mind. Either or what artist do you think went a unexpected route and did good at it?

Yeah, that's a top one too -
Distant Relatives is cold. Just played it in early May. The first Best of Both Worlds was cool too (GOAT intro too)
-
I was really feeling The Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust and thought it was a solid effort. It was a collaborative project between Saul Williams And Trent Reznor. i thought their styles meshed together well

Distant Relatives and 808's and HB come to mind

Yo.. I thought i was the only one! I forgot about that album for the longest, but i remember when it dropped it was a lot different than Fishscale and previous releases, but the mix of rnb and ghosts raps went really good imo. I gotta check that album out again. -
