i still dont understand why more rappers havent followed this- illmatic had 10 tracks (1 skit and 9 awesome songs). so i terms of songs, you can class that as 9 awesome songs out of 9 songs.
has any other album in history had a 100% success rate like that? Every rapper seems to think you need 18 songs on an album, when (over the last 10 years) no album has had more that about 8 decent songs on it (except tonedeff on archetype, but im extremely biased there haha)
if more rappers cut out the shit and focused properly on 10 songs, there would no doubt be more hip hop classics
