It's funny man. I agree that for hip-hop, I feel like something should be like 10 tracks to be an album, and even then, there are famous hip-hop EPs with 9-10 tracks.

Other genres aren't always like that. Which is kinda weird to me because I'm so used to hip hop. Other genres will have like 2-4 song EPs, and 9-13 track albums.

I remember when 50 dropped The Massacre and it was 22 tracks.

the thing is this is true to hip hop, for the most part, as all the rapper needs to do is write a couple of verses to a beat rather than produce , compose or play a full song... even though we do have classics such as illmatic which are about 10 tracks deep i think in this day and age 8 songs should not be called an album ... even more so as these days verses are mailed in and the beat is applied last
