14 tracks or less albums, the new trend?

Is it me or have damn near all the heavily anticipated albums in the past year been 14 tracks or less? Yall think this is the new trend or are we gonna start seein that 17-20 track range again?

i think its better to have 12 or 14 bangin trax instead of puttin out 30 songs and only half are good the other half are mediocre just my 2cents

well the thing is a lot of kats who make albums with a small amount of tracks are still including fillers and so called "skits".....kats want music...thats the reason why I buy a cd ....

i think anything under 14 sucks i wanna hear tons of new slumpers half these dudes only put a cd out evey year and a half u figure they could have made atleast 20 great songs

If you can make 14 slaps you can make 20 slaps. I'll take a album wit 14 slaps and 3 or 4 coo ones. I just wanna hear a lot of thier music period.

maybe people are just getting lazier...

I'M GLAD THE DOUBLE ALBUM TREND IS OVER... SOMETIMES I NOTICED THAT THE MORE SONGS THAT ON A ALBUM THE MORE EXPENSIVE ALSO.... BUT I PREFER 17 OR BETTER...

That and lack of money to do a full & solid album.

 

[408mobsta]

at least ` dollar a song 4 realz if u pay 16 bucks u best get at least 16 songs period...

IVE FOUND THAT SHORTER CDS TEND TO HAVE LESS SHITTY SONGS. MAYBE THERES JUST NO ROOM FOR BULLSHIT SONGS ON IT. AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT LETS SAY A 16 TRACK ALBUM, THERES THE INTRO, OUTRO, SKITS, INSTRUMENTALS, INTERLUDES, ALL THAT SHIT CAN MAKE IT BE ONLY LIKE 11 REAL TRACKS.

i dont agree with that.if dude puts out a 20 track album and you only like 10 off it,i might like the 10 you dont like.the more the better cus someones gonna like something..........

 

[Daddy Rich]

^^^^thats a good point i guess it just depends on the music pz

TO PRODUCE A qUALITY DOUBLE ALBUM IS NOT COST EFFECTIVE...AND THE GAME IS SO COMPETITIVE SOUND AND TALENT WISE, THERES NO ROOM FOR HALF ASS MATERIAL AND BEATZ...

I think 14 tracks is the best way to go. I did 20 tracks for my album and only 12 made it. But me and my team came to that conclusion together feel me. An album with 14 tracks and 2 bonus of up and coming artist on your label is good too. Very good for promoting there cds.

 

[ALmatic159]

Gorilla Pits are gonna have like 20 or 21 tracks on there shit...be lookin out for it

thats the problem right there.mothafuckas just knock out a gang of tracks and pick & choose for the album.mothafuckas should just record for the album.every track recorded should be done with the mind state that this is for the album,it gots to be knock.it works out both ways.your gonna save money cus you aint gonna record worthless shit.your albums gonna be longer there for the fans wil be happier........

Frankly I don't like when the cd has bonus tracks without tha main artists on it. Or the tracks that will soon appear on other album. Like "World-Wide Mob Figa" had the "One Mic" song, which could have been shortly heard on Luni Coleone & Hollow Tip collabo.

 

[eastbayrider510]

2pac made the greatest double album IMO ever...ALL EYEZ ON ME....ALL HITS FROM START 2 END...no filler bullshyt

thats what everyone wants. 20 songs? i mean come on? how many albums are there that have 20 great songs? not every song can be A SLAPPER. u people complain way too much...a lot of old great albums didnt have 20 songs. look at celly cel's album...u give me 8 CLASSSIC, and i mean CLASSIC songs and im fine. i dont buy a lot of new shit anymore because im sick of hearing albums that have like 21 songs, an intro and an outro, 6 fillers, half of people burping and being hammered, and then the other half being full of fake ass mob scenes, and then like 2 good songs, but one of them being the song played out on the radio.

its up to the artist how many songs they wanna put on there...i guarantee it that theres a better chance of an album being better if there are somewhat less tracks...like, if u put a song on there u might no have liked, but thought it should be on the album, and make that in the first few songs on the album, the average person is gonna hear that and be like "why the fuck is that on the album?" and then not listen to it.

very few albums can pull it off tho, (having more songs), like "Terrain Boss" or "I give u my word."

thats a cool point. skits and shit like can be funny and shit,...but i dont wanna pay a twamp for 4 and five skit. im not a big ass jay-z fan, but thats what i feel made The Black Album great. wasnt alot of bullshit. heata after heata. i hope the 12-14 shit catch on real quick an' stick!
