Internet has changed the Rap/Hip Hop world for the worst if were talking about classic albums.The only reason why The Weekend is considered to have classics.Is because hes executed like rappers should.He puts out albums.Then promote it by just shooting videos.He doesnt put out 1-3 mixtapes a year before the album.That part of the game has killed possible classic albums.
Example=Wayne shouldve put some of his C3 throwaways.Dedication mixtape songs on C3 and shot videos for most of the album.While promoting it for 2 years atleast.Some of the throwaway songs are album material.He shouldve released 1 mixtape with the average songs on there.Internet has most of these cats giving away to much material before an actual album release.
Thats why we dont get classics as much as we use to.90,s era rappers had time to record there best material.Not like now.To where they just record alot of songs.Then release some of there best songs on a mixtape.Rappers need to start doing what R&B cats are doing.Release an album every 2-3 years.With there best work.Jay,Nas,Em,Dre still do it.Fans have gotten spoiled to where they think they should receive songs every couple of months.Its like the fast food concept.
Material has to be pumped out so fast now.That the majority of it isnt good.Unless if your fan that just likes to hear a certain type sound 24/7 with no change up in style.This is the big reason why we dont get classic albums at the rate we did before 2007.Kendrick,Jay,Nas,Outkast,UGK,Big,Pac,Scarface,Pun wouldnt be who they are.If they released 2-4 albums/mixtapes a year.There sound/formula would be used up and dry.
In this climate of the Rap Game.Its easy for these artist to do the microwave hustle.Make 100 songs on Trap Beats that sound alike.Then flood the internet.You decrease your quality/Brand in the long term by doing that.Dont get me wrong.People still love Gucci.But theres alot of microwave rappers from when he started that you've forgotten about.
