I was listening to the new killer mike and it only had 12 songs on there. Then blueprint had 13. the new kanye had 13. Anything above that is too many songs imo

the way I look at it is to get a classic album an artist needs to compact their best songs at the time. The more songs you place on an LP the higher probability for filler. This is why Illmatic, Blueprint 1, Teflon Don, etc. are classics...short and sweet

you can make a classic with more than 13...but you have to be extremely nice and have extremely talented production team.

The actual length of the album means more in the long run. MBDTF had 13 tracks, but it was 67+ minutes long.

While you're at it, can we limit features too?

Get your 22 tracks with 20 of them having 2 features each the fukk out of here.

actually there would be an easy fix to this if fools went back to having groups.. then the rapper would only have to come up with one verse per song and let the other rappers handle the rest... ahhh, how i miss hip hop groups.. now it's just an ensemble of random unrelated rappers screwing up what would otherwise be good songs

I personally don't mind.

I delete the tracks I don't like off my iTunes anyway.

I did that with Chief Keef and it was easy as fukk to become a fan and appreciate the songs I hated at first.
