For me the beats accent Ab-Souls rapping, they're smooth with the odd more exciting beat like terrorist threats or SOPA. I think Ab-Soul works well with the jazzy samples and quieter percussion to give him freedom for his flow. Ab-Soul is a lyrical rapper for sure and I think that over powers the need for the kind of beats that stand out. Obviously stand out beats make an album better, but think about section 80 it had the same kind of jazzy samples and quiet percussion. If anything TDE production crew has improved since then.
