Who do we credit/blame for the 2:00 and under trend in rap? Chief Keep, Riff Riff, or Famous Dex?

When my schedule opens up I'm restoring the balance

Thought that came from mixtapes.
You would hear 1:37 of the most violent,rhythmic, hard hitting hip hop music and *chk* next song

That's different since those were likely leaked/rough draft records.

No Limit albums were mostly stuffed to the brim, almost filling up the whole 80 minutes of the CD lmao.

absolutely...im just saying alot of their solo songs or if they had one feature, were 2 hooks, 2 verses ie...it aint my fault, makin moves, give me the world, man right chea, all the etcs..

point is, i prefer songs like that

Keef, Soulja, Dex, XXX and SoundCloud overall

And I don't know why people are thinking artists started this trend. If that's the case, you might as well throw Jay Z's name in the hat too. Magna Carta Holy Grail has two songs that are under 1:00. "Verzuz" and "Beach Is Better" are both under 1:00. And there's other songs that are under 2:30.

Kinda just gotta blame the Internet and social media and Gen Z and younger millennials in general really. Attention spans keep dwindling.

Spitta was doing in and outs a lot back in the day.
