Albums That Suffer From Having Too Many Songs

Postby classthe_king » Oct 10th, '13, 04:26

I can think of a couple examples but I'll start with the most prominent one imo

Biggie- Life After Death

I truly think that this would have been a top 5 album of all time if it wasn't a double album.



1. Somebody's Gotta Die
2. Hypnotize
3. Kick In The Door
4. Last Day
5. I Love the Dough
6. What's Beef?
7. Niggas Bleed
8. Notorious Thugs
9. Miss U
10. Going Back To Cali
11. Ten Crack Commandments
12. My Downfall
13. Long Kiss Goodnight
14. You're Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)

This is a GOAT track list

2pac - All Eyez on Me

I just can't listen to it fully through. Way too long. A little overrated imo

Ready To Die is great but Biggie improved his rapping so much on Life After Death. Plus I like the production much more, it's just so dark and gangster it's awesome. His verse on Notorious Thugs might be the hardest verse of all time. It's a shame theres just so many lame songs with terrible production. They tried to reproduced Juicy like 7 times when Hypnotize would have sufficed.

I just heard Notorious Thugs.

Biggie drops an alright verse (what's so special about it?).

The hook is repetitive and I could not understand what the hell Krayzie and Layzie were saying in their verses cause they slur the fuck out of words.

The beat's nice though.

Biggie's mic presence is just ungodly and the way he rides the beat is probably better than anyone has ever rode a beat.

I actually 1000% agree with you. That's why I like Life After Death better. That said, you're right because Life After Death does suffer from too many tracks.

TES has too slightly much filler. It would be the definite goat if it was like ten songs, as the highs are so fucking high.

Also, Masta Ace's Disposable Arts, although, I think it might be more of a too many features thing, rather than a too many songs thing, but I usually start the album halfway through.

''Sky's The Limit'' though, how can you leave that song off?
Fuck top five, bitch, I'm top four
And that includes Biggie and Pac, whore
And I got an Evil Twin
So who the fuck do you think that third and that fourth spot's for?

Wu Tang Forever - way to long winded.
It also has probably the corniest song from rap's hardest group on "Black Shampoo".

Redman - Muddy Waters - the skits bulk it down & it gets a tad repetative.

Well, Relapse?

Those 2-3 last songs are clearly disposable.
