Title: Albums sound so much better when...
Post by: ACGRUNDY on March 04, 2004, 09:21:29 PM
the artist uses one producer for the whole album, or most of it.  Suga Free's new album is a perfect example.  I dunno why it is that most rappers get like 10 different producers on their album these days.  This all holds true, unless of course the rappers picks a really low budget crappy producer.

I like albums when the songs kind of blend into each other, and each song has a simular sound. Makaveli was the best at this, as you could listen without skipping a song, unless you just had to hear that song. Not really the same producer... but as long as the song is simular

Yeah,I like when an album only has 1 producer on it,for example Method Man-Tical,All the beats fitted perfectly on the album thx to RZA.

yeah i agree...like TQ's they never saw me coming...most of it was done by Mike Mosley w/ a few tracks by Jazze Pha (i think there may have been like 4 producers total)...but it kept the feel of the cd all the same and it was nice.

they have a certain mood or tone to them...so each song kinda flows into the next.  theres no disrupted vibe.  they actually make better albums than just having a compilation of producers.  IMO it takes it back to the old school.

I agree; for example - Royce 5'9''- Death is certain; Boo Yaa Tribe's "west coasta nostra"; Canibus' "rip the jacker", or Gangstarr - "the ownerz"

Word. like 2nd II Nones release called 220. That was a great album. Or a Nas album etc. Yeh it continues the same flow all the way through

I agree with you, but there is one obvious exception:

Nas - Illmatic

Had Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, L.E.S and Q Tip doing production, but it all held together so well because all of them brought their A game to the table, and it was all banging hiphop.

Esham's Mail Dominance........I think Him & Santos were the only  producers on that joint.even though the music changes thoughout the whole album.....(its acidrap baby!),it's still a winner in my book! 8)

Oh yeah and albums sound way better if you keep the skits at the
end of your songs!Ice Cubes first two albums was perfect example of this.Oh and the interludes gots to be informative,or at least interesting or keep 'em off your album son!

I prefer albums with one (maybe 2, 3 or even 4) producers at the most.  Keeping the producers \ guests to a minimum preserves the albums intended vision that the artist may have had in the first place.  

When I see an album loaded with different producers it just says to me that they're trying to slang this record to as many people as possible instead of staying true to the artist’s core fans.  I can understand a radio hit here and there to get over.. But keep it real for the true fans.

makaveli too.....

i wanna see a common and kanye album...
or a dre and snoop album (again)

each producer seem to have an equal mc counterpart, which is really how it should be - consistent

i dunno
you need many good ideas for a whole release
i like the idea of one guy co-producing or mixing a cd
