Roddy dropped a great debut album imo

ASTROWORLD out now

Going to block all of the users that say that to my face

Rap music definitely doesn't get better every year

well yes he at least tried to

Roddy even had smooth transition between songs

no, albums are essentially dead because of streaming

15-20 song albums are the new norm because it allows for higher profits per album

why take a year+ to craft a story in album form when you can take a bunch of loose singles and put them together into an "album"

plus most rappers have horrible deals so i think they rather just get albums out as soon as possible

Yo hello sir, I am in great need of Kendrick, Zay, and SZA acapellas. I am planning to make demos for their albums

Absolutely terrible thread

Donda: With Child otw

Can you give me drake acapellas

Albums are too long.

10-12 songs is all that's required.

The more songs you tack on the more you dilute the product.

Theres already too much music.

Quality > Quantity

GIVE ME THE F***ING ACAPELLA OR I SIGN TO PGLANG

Ablums

F*** "albums"

Collection of songs > Albums

My Turn out now

Nope

anyone sayin that I'm not looking hard enough ...

I didn't have to really search for it in any other era

even Playboi Carti could make great albums

I genuinely think that rap music becomes better with every year

but none of the newer artist can make a great project anymore

First point is cap.

We don't have to buy albums to listen to singles anymore. There's less incentive to make complete bodies of works. In the mainstream at least.

To answer that question:
To build a fan base
To create great art
To ensure longevity

Making great albums consistently is mandatory if an artist wants any kind of longevity

cut about 12 songs and it's a masterpiece
