Didn't Dr Dre say Nwa recorded Straight Outta Compton in 2 weeks?

I might be getting it mixed up with PAC doing all Eyez on me

Yeah, u right. He did say they recorded Straight Outta Compton in 2 weeks but that's cause they was trying to hurry up and get the album out.

All Eyez On Me was recorded in 2 weeks as well. The 1 thing Pac had going for him with that is a lot of beats were beats that were gonna go to other projects but once he touched down, they started giving him beats for his album. But shyt, the nikka was working like a mad scientist with writing. Cause he wrote that album the minute he got to Death Row.

If the people like the albums you put together over a weekend, why bother taking a week or two?

Pac never bragged on that, nor was it used as a selling point

and Pac worked fast cause he already had songs written down. He was fast at recording shyt not coming up with/crafting it. These other nikkas bragged about NOT writing
Maybe not pac but other people have commented on how fast he can write songs as well

I know shock g is definitely one of them

You can write something super lyrical in 10 minutes or it could take you a year.
The length of time you spend on something does not equal quality.
Migos problem is they are formulaic.
While what you said is true, I would say generally the more time invested into creating/working on something usually transpires into greater results, but not in all cases of course :manny:

Jay was the first to brag about no being a rapper which while different, is a similar sentiment.
I think that was taken out of context tbh. A rapper in my eyes is someone who bs's like to rap meant to just talk whether it be that finesse talk or you one of them dudes in jail lying about what you had ob the outside. Basically a bullshytter. Thats how i perceive the word. Ask hov if hes an mc. What do you think he'll say.

Pac started the rapid recording and Big/Jay started the "I dont write." That marriage of influences produced this Lil Wayne rapid song digital era who have the ability to do multiple verses/songs a day. That rate was literally impossible 20 years ago.

:ohhh:Here I was fearing that I wrote my shyt hella slow

Nowadays, the ADD era of these cats releasing hundreds of songs per year on mixtapes brought down the value of music a hell lot.

Is this just a rap thing? Cause artists in other genres be taking like 2-4 year long breaks, they release tracks every now and then but not full albums like rappers do

this. id much rather an mc drop 1 album with 10 classic songs instead of 4 mixtapes with 35 average ones.

this is the major difference between teh eras right there. people say good hip hop today exists, you just have the look for it...

that may be true but you must sift thru 10x the bullshyt on the internet to find the quality that was just sitting on the store shelf back then
