    Do you like albums with skits ? if so how many is too much
    for example i think The Slim Shady LP by Eminem was great album but it had too many skits that were pointless and were made purely for comedic value but on Good Kid Maad City by Kendrick lamar i felt every skit on the album was relevant and told a story of some sort so i feel it can be done right but a majority of the time i would prefer an album without skits as after the first listen there usually skipped every time they come on

    I always leave the club disappointed because they never play my favorite skits

    It depends if it helps the flow of the album or if they're in there just for the f--- of it. I prefer them to be present as long as they are in there for a reason, to be honest.

    It honestly really depends. Sometimes I like certain skits, other times I completely ignore them and wish they weren't there. For my own music, I've decided to include them since my last EP if I feel it suits the music and doesn't distract or go on for too long, and they'll be present on my next one.

    It's not necessary.

    But on a serious note I love skits, especially ones that fit an albums theme.

    I didn't include him in my favorite Plus-members post earlier, but this witty comment just earned him a spot on there :westbrook3:

    skits are irritating and dated and they ruin the song if you have to fast forward 50 seconds to get to the music

    f--- skits

    It depends, if it's a concept album.. I think it should have a couple of skits, most of the time skits are fillers though.

    If it fits then yeah, but most of the time it's just a waste of time.
