Not everyone has unlimited time, either.

Somebody might want 2 hours of material

It's a fairly popular album so there's obviously a demand for it.

Weeds out the plebs

(I will probably never listen to SftB)

>>64422802
quite a generalization you got there.
>>
please tell me why people bother making 20 minute albums
please tell me why people bother making 40 minute albums
please tell me why people bother making 1 hour albums
who cares, listen to it or don't
>>
>>64422395
yeah, but this one works.

What bothers me is why many CD-era artists felt the need to fill their albums with mediocre songs to reach the limit of the medium's capacity
vinyl era listeners were okay with 35-45 minute albums, it's easier to digest than 80-minute CD albums
>>
>>64424082
why do so many hip-hop artists do exactly this? I will never understand it

>why do so many hip-hop artists do exactly this?

Actually there's a good reason to do that nowadays, stream revenue per song. I remember reading Vince Staples was told to do that.
>>
>>64422802
This is actually not true I'm afraid

>>64424082
Blame top 40 culture. If you take a dozen shots or a couple dozen shots, you're more likely to hit the target at least once taking a couple dozen.
>>
>>64424183
To add on to my post, this is more important as of very recently
>>64424177
More songs = more stream plays, simple
