Didn’t Drake start it with Views?

I mean there’s always been some long albums but that’s the first one I can think of in the streaming era that kinda kicked it off

it's a chart beast in a time where very recently many people claimed rap was becoming irrelevant commercially

personally i think that narrative was a bit overdone but it's easy to see it as a big win for hiphop

First reply ether

oh so NOW we hate creators mindlessly throwing out projects

No Face is some heat tho

Didn’t say it wasn’t

Shorter albums (and songs) have been the prevailing trend for the past decade.

Tf are you talking about

🤣

i’m cringing at this post bc you just described my teenage self and brought back some repressed memories. like i would write that s*** out and everything lol

literally a different medium
famericana if I don't f***s with a song on a album I can just skip it

Long track albums are only good for like first week boosts
Over time most streams come from the top couple tracks

now you look stupid cus I'll be first to let you when drake drops some trash and I'll also be first to let you know when any other artist drops some trash too

I said what I said because albums are never hitting 80%+ on their songs. idk wth music you listen to but most albums have a handful of great songs and the rest are nothing to get excited about

I would rather an artist I like drop 30 songs since it means theres a much greater chance there will be better songs overall than an artist drop 10 tracks I find only 3 or 4 are great

“Vomiting up albums with over 20 tracks”

How did you come to this conclusion when Taylor, Morgan Wallen, SZA, etc have top selling albums that have 30+ songs nowadays

Weak ass bait thread disguised as an a***ysis.

Everyone itt complaining about track length would complain no matter what.

a borderline classic
no
an all time classic
borderline classics
no

regardless tho the ones you did name that fit the bill are classics or borderline. like I said, someone drops a 10-12 song album there's a 90% chance it's NOT a classic and half the songs are mid

I dont think 2016 counts as streaming era.

More Life the “playlist album”

What’s bait about this? OP is absolutely right.

It's a mixtape. Not a new concept.

graduation is a borderline classic? nigga off yourself

bro its not even the past decade its literally all time

niggas just in this b**** yapping

GNX is a dope tape THP6 is my fav song off it. AzChike is a superstar in my book.

That being said I need that real Kendrick album.
