Instant gratification and entitlement are some motherfuckers forreal

i’m okay with being the bad guy for making such a dumb point if it helps people realize how dumb the opposite argument also is

This thread

You think a artist is spending 4 years writing a album?

They’re enjoying that money they made from the last album. Let a nigga live his life.

S*** is so forced

Name your favs who drop on an annual basis.

Do it.

I won’t laugh, I promise.

The Beatles dropped nearly 2 albums a year throughout. I know dmx had arguably his 2 strongest albums back to back in the same year. The second album taking him less than a month. Wayne at his peak was dropping classic projects with literally a month in between.

We literally watch Kanye records hundreds of tracks in a months span with a decent portion of them being Great songs. When you are in the zone it doesn’t seem to matter how much time has passed.

DMX had mental issues and spoke about how he his career and lifestyle affected his mental state.

Lil wayne literally developed a lean habit and have had two near death seizures.

Ye mental health is well known and he has had numerous public episodes.

Seems like a break between records could've and would've benefitted all three of them.

80s was on one for a decade

@CliCity ethering this whole thread, @op just wont admit hes wrong lmao

Out of those 3 only MATW and Don Killuminati are actually perfect albums.

All Eyez On Me in retrospect has grown to have had a loooooot of filter and a lot of guest features we didnt need. For every Meth verse there was 3 Outlawz verses. For every “I Aint Mad At Cha” there was at least 2 “What’z Ya Phone #” type of tracks.

Lets get rid of OP for this terrible thread

Quality will always beat quantity for the simple fact the world will always pay attention when you drop.

Yes you have your rare occasions like future’s “Michael Jordan” run or Lil Wayne’s run but eventually even they slow down because as mentioned earlier, that s*** does take a toll on your health. Pac’s crazy work ethic was brought on by paranoia and depression from getting shot and being out on bail during a toxic case to a toxic label/environment that would inevitably be his downfall

As an artist, we got to stop romanticizing this “artist’s pain/working themselves to exhaustion for our amusement” type of thinking.

“if an artist really has the potential to make quality music, both quality AND quantity go hand in hand”

Yeah that’s not true. We just don’t see how many times these artist go to the line. Some niggas record 100 songs while putting 1 album together. This is why I’m a fan of the T Rex approach when it comes to recycling verses “I wrote it it’s mines I can say it” because them raps don’t just appear out of thin air. If you just trynna hear something I can give you some s*** I just whipped up or have on the side just don’t complain when it’s not the greatest because you asked for it.

this is so tucking dumb @op by that metric nickel back is in the all-timer category. why cant you just accept that people have different processes and are completely divorced from your weirdo notions about if an artist is “good enough” or not

I envy y’all that can listen to the same 12 songs for 5 years straight before you need to hear something new

Dmx already had issues before it and Wayne didn’t really get bad until carter 4. And with Kanye his mental health has been shot since mbdtf so it’s more about him still being able to do it. We had brockhampton dropping there best work before the deal.

@op can you download ableton or something already just so you can see first hand how stupid this take is

Artists are people and people aren't robots so saying something like this as if it's a one size fit all algorithm based statement is dumb as hell. Niggas are allowed to take breaks and live life. They don't owe you s***

!

i’m not referring to time i’m talking features and the output in which the music is made ppl like carti and uzi make a lot of music but don’t drop like that
