Hip-Hop criticisms

- Too many albums are rammed with filler and often last over an hour

Isn't that a "rubbish album" criticism really?

Skits are usually awful and always unnecessary. The good news is that there seem to be a lot less of them than there used to be.

-Public Enemy are really boring and 'A Nation of Millions' isn't good at all.

All it is is Flava Flav shouting 'Yo Chuck, I don't think they heard you'
and then Chuck saying 'Terminator X'
a few songs about the oppressed black man and a sh*t load of filler.

No 'cos I've found that generally in rock music most albums tend to have less tracks and less filler and have less interludes, if any...

like Janszoon says.

The Cold Vein is one of my favourite Hip-Hop albums but it is 80 mins long. It is very difficult to listen to that all the way through. Fillers, interludes and quantity over quality is the norm in Hip-Hop.

- Solo albums often have far too many features.

I think you mistook this for the "incorrect opinions that nobody should take seriously" thread.

Seriously how can anyone take an album that has aged so horribly and is so simplistic in terms of production and rhyming and paint it as a 5 * classic.
Just because you were first doesn't make you best.

There is too much braggadocio in the majority of hip hop music.

And "Nation of Millions" is an incredible album, although I think I prefer "Fear of a Black Planet."

Good shout there mate. Most of my favourite rappers aren't like that though, with the exception of Big L.

UK music is even worse, funny because they've got nothing to be arrogant about.
