    in my opinion "album length" will be a big factor on his next solo project.

    Em can simply not put an LP together with 15+ good-great songs. No hate on Kanye, but like he did with MBDTF and possibly Waves, by putting a shorter track list with only top tier songs, It's easier to make a good album if you're not throwing in songs as "fillers".

    For example, MMLP2 in ten tracks (kind of takes away the LP aspect but just go along with it)
    Bad Guy
    Legacy
    Berzerk
    Rap God (single)
    Brainless
    STIW
    Love Game
    Headlights
    Evil Twin
    Beautiful Pain (radio single)
    Bonus:
    Groundhogs Day

    Practically a classic album, just because someone made some minor cuts.

    Do you see what I'm saying, any thoughts?

    well the quantity is not an issue
    the quality is.
    He doesnt need to have filler tracks when he pretty much recorded about 100 songs for that.
    I mean out of 100 to cut it to 15 tracks you can make em all great.
    but for a reason we dont know, tracks like a------ made the cut :lol6:

    I don't want any filler but that's an unrealistic request

    He's always tried to match quality and quantity

    Well, I'm happy to get other half of the album that u didn't mention. I would be happier with some lil changes but all in all, MMLP 2 wasn't have any bad songs except a------ to me.

    I think it's more that his song choice for MMLP2 wasn't good. I am fine with Recovery and Relapse. However, MMLP2 could have been better if he added other songs replacing...Rhyme Or Reason, So Much Better, a------, Survival, So Far..., Love Game, and Evil Twin. He records so much for each album. He had to have recorded songs on par with Brainless, Bad Guy, Beautiful Pain, and Groundhog Day.

    It's a good song. That's it for me. No Apologies was released this past decade so I disagree.

    f---, my bad. I mistook it and thought you meant the past ten years. You think that song is better than Going Through Changes, Space Bound, Seduction, or Deja Vu?

    deja vu also last decade and yes, both verses were 11/10 and the last one was super dope , his flow was also incredible

    indeed the songs you mentioned are more emotional and touching and contenders but i like evil twin more
