Lloyd Banks recently shared his opinion on how albums are being made now- how artists just focus on making one hit, and then hope that one hit sells the whole album, which would just basically have album fillers all round. I think that is what hiphop got to in the last couple of years, but i think it has gradually made a turn around for the better in the last 28months or so. In fact, i could not believe Raekown's Only Built For Cuban Linx2 would sell that much.
Read below on what he said.
"The game turned into a singles game where you just drop your single and make a dance to it and go. But then you have artists like myself who can put together a whole album to where 1-14 tracks on the record will have a different feel. One record might be towards the females, one is about my neighborhood, one is a concept record, then you have a weed record, a drunk record, you got an in love record, and you got a fuck a girl record. It has to be every kind of thing in order to make it a classic." (The Well Versed)
"Sometimes people get out of reality and they want to just party and wear skinny jeans like you said or whatever it is. But I think everything comes back around full circle in due time and I think that everybody has their movement. So the same way people may get exhausted with gangsta rap or party music -- it's up to artists like myself and Jay-Z, Eminem, Raekwon, 50 Cent and artists like that who put together great albums and every song is different that makes people respect the album."
