malédictionThat’s completely subjective; what someone considers bloat and a drop in quality somebody else might appreciate because they’re getting more.
Then on the artists side, they’re gonna want to monetize as much as they can and make long albums, albeit of varying quality but it is what it is.
But then you get artists like The Weeknd who are able to put out loaded albums but the experience is there.
It’s completely the artists prerogative and we’re all savvy enough at this point to know what their motives are.
I feel from the label and artist point of view it’s not to put out a high quality album it’s about getting enough streams for money.
If your goal is $$$ then you are not trying to release quality music.

Zack From The SixYou do realize posts like these just expose how utterly horrid your music taste is, right?
You do realize your original post just add more inches of drake cock down your throat right?
Mar 15More Life was an album. The "playlist" was just some corny ass gimmick. S*** don't mean anything.

You are the very last person to speak on anybody's music taste.
Mar 15What's happening in the stream era with regards to rap got nothing to do with More Life or its marketing. S*** was always headed this way regardless.

Passionfruit hate is fake or from people who don't outside
It was everywhere, one of the most streamed songs ever from a rapper despite little promo and it's just flawless and extremely chill
But as I said, people who don't go outside is not feeling that kind of wave

Is it that hard for you to use your brain? Seems so, which is why I will help you out
''Most successful songs'' is directly linked to taste as I am able to correctly predict which 3 songs will be in the TASTE of the majority of the people.
I often go for the deep cuts but that's just because they usually cater towards my taste, which is more deep tracks.
Hope it is possible for you to understand the connection between taste and most successful now even though you needed it spelled out

Nobody hates that song. Ppl don’t like the intro but not the actual music itself.
Mar 16More Life is Drake’s best album
Mar 16passionfruit is essential department store music up there with paula cole
Mar 16I’m 99% sure no one thinks of More Life when deciding their album

Mar 16I love Drake!
Mar 16RubbersoulMore Life was released in 2017 and Drake made it very clear it was a playlist and not an album. I would argue it very much is an album but needed a reason to release so many songs on one project which might not have been ‘album quality.’
Did this idea allow the music industry to stock pile on their own albums to get the stream numbers up?
We have definitely reached a point where an album is actually rare in terms of a structure and just a playlist an artist can drop 20/25 songs.
I always think of the album College Dropout, it features 21 songs & skits on the album but that felt like an album experience, there’s a reason for every song being on there and we go through a journey when listening to the album.
its a commercial mixtape like iyrtitl before it.
Mar 16I don't think it was More Life I think streaming in general coupled with our shortening attention spans
