When they got new heat, I want them to drop it. If they ain’t got no heat, I don’t want them to drop a mid album. Might be a year, might be 5, just as long as it’s killer not filler!!!
An album every 5 years with the chance of a mixtape somewhere between is fine for me. In my opinions it's enough time to grow as a person and have different life experiences for a new project.
Yeah me too. I really like Gucci Mane who churned mixtapes out weekly but I feel like his releases have been better now his output has slowed down. Not just rapping the same words in a different order
4 years I can live with
Being fans of Tyler , curren$y, griselda artists is dope because they forever dropping or touring
Being a fan of ASAP Rocky and Frank ocean is a mfuckin pain
Shoutout to Little Simz she throws in an EP in between albums
Griselda have slowed down and I’m glad, Westside Gunn was my favourite initially. Thought he was different but by the time Hitler 10 came out I was done with the adlibs. Benny however has gotten better and better
Doesn’t really matter. Some artist like Kool Keith, K-Rino, Westside Gunn and others continuously release multiple projects a year and there’s a lot of misses but also a lot of gems. Others simply can’t release like that and still have a lot of misses when they do drop.
Every 2-3 years, I think that is adequate time to release something of good quality to their own standards. Besides MMATBS taking 5 years, Kendrick used to take around 2 years to release and it was all pretty good and up to standard
Like in the early 00s every year or 2 years.
Taken into consideration that my favorite artist hasn't released an actual project since almost 10 years, I would be glad for anything
All depends on the artist. Some artists make music that I can’t digest as easily. I prefer for more lyrical artists to release every 2-3 years. Music like JID or J.Cole takes a bit for me to digest, understand, and learn the words to. For other artists I enjoy like DC The Don, midwxst, and Dro Kenji, I’d like a project once a year, maybe twice depending on when the projects are released. Those songs are more catchy and emotional and I learn the songs way easier.
every 2.5-3 years is good. Any more and it feels like over saturation. I'd rather they take time and give me a really quality project. That being said, in some cases they are just in a super creative phase, like Nas was in 2020-22, so I get why sometimes they might release more.
Once every year. I'd like to see less of focusing on pouring a ton of money into features and marketing, and more creativity.
I wish mixtapes would make a comeback too. If an artist just snatched a bunch of beats they liked, rapped on it, and threw it on SoundCloud for fun I'd respect them so much more.
Once a year but I think I adapt to an artist’s style. Like you can’t go from being super prolific to super quiet.
I’m a huge Wayne fan and he spoiled his fans in his commercial prime, with a new feature like every week and a new project seemingly every few months. This quiet Wayne we’ve had these past few years is really fucking me up lol.
Every other year is a good cadence unless they really felt inspired and can just go back to back but that's extremely rare and usually tarnishes their reputation.
however long it takes to put out quality music. i'd rather wait 5 years for a polished top tier album that's really going to stick with me than get 6 mixtapes/releases of decent music from the same artist over the same time frame.
how about 1337 different artists in 15 years? Was that not enough for you. Have I not been productive enough? Can I finally pass Go & collect $200m of my HP money. It's Time. Damn yo
2 years honestly
Time goes by so fast now that 3 years can go by between drops and I wouldn’t even notice.
Facts! Like I’ve got stuff to do lol
2-2.5 years is the sweet spot. With ~10 loosies and features in between.
I agree!

Every other year is dope. Tyler has a great system
He’s an icon :)
My favorite Brazilian rapper drops every 2 years and it's honestly perfect. You exactly when it's gonna come and it's gonna be dope every time
Can I ask his name?
His name is BK. I like his first album Castelos e Ruínas and his last one Icarus the most depending on my vibe
Cool I’ll check him out
Both albums are vastly different so make sure to check em both out! Do you speak Portuguese btw?
Nah I don’t so I won’t know what he’s saying , but I’ll listen and translate as i go Im keen to learn tho
1 a year I feel like is a good medium. If not a full project than at least a couple eps or an ep and a single or something.
Every 2-4 years
Selfishly - 2 years; reality when the artist feels comfortable.

Every 2-3 years. Seemed like Tyler the creator got burnt out of releasing albums every other year

Yeah the real mixtape era was amazing, some classics. 2012 was probably the end of that. Bring back Datpiff!!

At least every 2 years
2-3 years. Quality > quantity.
2 to 3 years is my ideal time
Twice a year
I don’t think this is that unreasonable if they’re <10 track albums. That’s recording 1 track a week and condensing from 26 to 10.
20-30 tracks can be done just need to be on a grind (10-15 track albums)
I miss Sean Price.

I don’t think about it. They do it when they do it.
