trolls ban this fool



Wait 'till you see my controversial opinion on the Clash.  :devil:


I'm not sure if this is unpopular or not, but a lot of albums from the 90s and the very early 00s are about 15-20 minutes too long.

This is what you want. This is what you get.

for sure

the extra cd space lead to lazier editing

43 minutes was a good album length

one side of a 90 minute cassette




Yup. Tons of 90s rap albums really suffer from that, having 18+ tracks (with 3-5 of those being corny skits) and filling all 77 minutes, it's exhausting. It takes an extremely talented and versatile artist to entertain me for that long.

"stressed" is just "desserts" spelled backwards

Not only that, but does every song need ten producers? I mean, what do they all do? Produce a few notes each and then head off? (Annoyed old man voice) In my day we had one producer per ALBUM dammit, and that's just the way I likes it!

Skits are infuriating. Why did nobody point out to these people that once you've heard it the joke is over?

What a waste of everyone's time.

Only God knows.

Busta Rhymes skits have exceptional staying power

Yup. I love Outkast, but Stankonia is a great post-90s example of this. If you got rid of some of the more half-baked tracks and all of the skits, the album would be perfect.

This is what you want. This is what you get.

being from atl that would be blasphemy if i said it

it's a great cohesive album and fun all the way through but it may or may not be my opinion that there's about 20 minutes that really only belong on the director's cut

Exactly. Put "Toilet Tisha" on the director's cut. :laughing:

This is what you want. This is what you get.

I don't think Stankonia is that bad compared to some.

MMLP and Ready to Die have some appalling ones on there.

The Chronic is probably the best example for me. Every track a gem until $20 Sack Pyramid. Totally ruins it.

Only God knows.

Deep Cover in place of Sack Pyramid, remove Dr's Office and its arguably the best Hip Hop album ever imo.

Only God knows.

spoiler to hide vulgarity

Spoiler
that one where the girl is sucking his dick and she keeps saying you know i don't be doing this and he says "whatever bitch" still cracks me up and i also love "pickle juice drinking motherfucker" and technically "you got a red dot on your head" is a skit too so i gotta say rtd is without flaw

Yeah it's kinda crazy when you think about the fact that audioskits as a medium only seem to be attempted by musicians.  Who are some of the worst actors and joke tellers possible. 

I'll take it a step further.  Even a so called iconic skit like deez nuts is only actually mildly amusing at best. That's honestly being generous.

Agreed. And even the ones that are kinda funny are usually only funny the first time. After that they're the reason the skip button was invented.
