while we on the subject, what constitutes an EP to y'all, there are the obvious, but some are like 9 or 10 tracks, what metric do you use to determine??

pretty much in order

elucid - valley of grace
onry ozzborn - c v p ii d
novellis - kenjutsu under the moonlight
noveliss - dilla instinct
mr. muthafuckin' eXquire - brainiac
KAAN & klaus layer - abstractions
denzel curry - 13
skyzoo - peddler themes
mach-hommy x knxwledge - the spook
Denmark Vessey x DRXQUINNX x Azarias - doppelganger
MIKE - by the water
mick jenkins - or more; the anxious
stik figa - central standard time
aesop & homeboy sandman - triple fat lice
mattic/yago-pitch - we left with no expectations

i agree with clock, it's so difficult to distinguish between an album and an ep these days that it's almost pointless lol

if a project has less than 9/10 tracks and is under 30 minutes it's an ep to me.

both are great, the denzel curry one has that zeltron 6 billion track w/ lil ugly mane which is easily one of my favorite songs i've heard this year.




eXquire actually just dropped a video a few days ago for a track off the ep

that Noveliss "Kenjustu Under the Moonlight" ...good pick, i really liked it.

i think i agree with anything under 10 tracks is an EP to me. I didn't give that eXquire enough playtime at all and not purposely...it's that good huh?? ima have to revisit it

kenjutsu under the moonlight is a pure nostalgia trip for me, along with the rest of the projects noveliss puts out lol. i also don't usually like it when artists rap over nujabes instrumentals but i think he think he did a great job with it.

i don't know if yall will dig that eXquire as much as i did, dude could rap about anything and i'd probably still like it. he's just got that voice/delivery. hopefully his black genius album will finally drop next year.

i assume you mean 9 or 10 FULL tracks?

but even then we get into the problem where -what if theres 9 or 10 two minute tracks? thats only 20 minutes and not an album.

i'm saying an album has to be at least 29 or 30 minutes long and cant be all filer or interludes. at least 9 full over 2 minute songs should be part of that 29-30 min.

FUCK, the EP/album issue is proving to be some deep philosophical shit. lol,not realy.

there's also the opposite of what no mask is talking about, where an album is well over 30 minuts long but only has 5-7 tracks, like CYNE's wasteland vol. 2 from earlier this year. that's an hour long but there's only 6 tracks, so it's definitely not an ep imo.



it's one of those really nuanced things that no one will ever really agree on and there will always been exceptions to the rule, so i usually just go by whatever the project is labeled as lol.

^i agree tippi. if its only 6 full songs but also has enough quality interludes/short ass tracks then it could be an album imo. as long as its not mostly weak beat/filler interludes .has to be quality. theres been albums where theres like 40 short tracks but its an album cause the substance/quality is there.

lol. trylemma has been around for a while, i've seen him posting on the yahoo message boards and he used to put a lot of effort into his lists on RYM. his taste is pretty different from most on here and he has a lot of knowledge about artists i'm not really familiar with. i've found some good stuff through his lists in the past.

fahim - dump gawd episode 5

surprised that hasn't been mentioned yet. one of fahim's best, imo. i was going to say the ineffable conflict of roosevelt creek as well, but, since that has over ten tracks, i'm guessing it's safe to say that's an album not an EP.
