Double albums were a gift to the fans when cats had been gone since forever, Big didn't release any albums between 94 and his death. Pac got locked up and people were anticipating him like he had been gone since forever. The Wu were doing a comeback as a group after 4-5 years..

But I don't think random album should be double albums, there has been some underground double albums, Nas's SD was probably the latest.

Yo whoever green lighted an entire album of Nelly singing should have been fired on the spot

Suit (the "singing" album) went 3x Platinum
Sweat (the "rapping" album) went 1x Platinum

Didn't nas and outkast both drop one

Food and Liquor 2 gonna be a double album, not liking what I'm hearing from it so far tho

 

[Reggie]

Maybe they should start giving away a mixtape or something as a second album. Like right before Ross dropped Teflon Don. He should have included the Albert Anastasia EP as a second disc or something. But it's so hard to make 20 plus songs of decent music maybe the idea is dead.

[Albert Pujols]

I fukks with it if its a group like diplomatic immunity, MMG should've dropped a double album. shyt is basically jus ta collection of songs more than an actual album.

All you did was point out that you are a UGK stan. nikkas stan every double album made. Doesn't mean there was any reason they couldn't have condensed it into a smaller, better album

i think flo rida has the right idea his album has 9 songs cuz aint no one gonna buy it anyways. Albums used to be a collection of singles

Double albums still exist in other genres (classical, jazz, doom-type metal), but those are for narrow audiences, and are actually necessary. For example, some of the songs in those genres are like 15-25 minutes long.

Rap rarely, if ever, has 15-25 minute long songs, so double-discs are unnecessary. Plus, like dude said above, most consumers just buy singles nowadays. I double-disc is a waste of money and risky for record companies
