Mine’s gotta be albums where the only fleshed out songs are the ones with features and all the solo joints are like 2:00 long
Can y’all not carry tracks on y’all’s own?
when I don’t like the music
this might be inside baseball a bit but i always hate when the label or distributor don’t make sure the featured artists receive streams for a song.
i have multiple friends who are on songs with millions of streams but it’s not reflected on their spotify. having a lazy team leads to that
Minimalist and short notice rollouts
Delays when singles flop or ghosting on the release day
Singles that don't make the final album
Starting beef while promoting songs/albums
2:00 songs that are just the hook repeated and a few bars
No originality in new rappers. Everyone wants to be the next Drake and Kendrick no one wants to be themselves
Rappers getting too comfortable doing the same formula. DaBaby, Roddy, Baby and all these new rappers just lazy af after the first couple hot years
Everyone doing Lyrical lemonade music videos
20 track albums where most of the songs sound the same
+making long ass albums strictly for streaming sales
This trend of making songs in like 10 minutes. Nobody wants to sit down and spend time on a track anymore. Everyone is just churning these fast food songs out as fast as possible
Also the lack of transitions and sequencing with albums. Most Hiphop albums these days sound like compilations of songs rather then a body of work
Also anyone on AM can probably relate: when it says artist & feature underneath the song title instead of just saying (feat. feature)
Looks like absolute dogshit. Bonus awfulness points if some songs on the album are formatted normally but others aren’t
Boring/generic instrumentation. I want songs with intricate melodies and accompaniment.

Bad/no sequencing is the f***ing worst, and it's basically standard now
Why would I ever listen to a project like that front to back

The artist & feature thing I'm sure is done by the artist not apple music
