Snip:
With a supportive label, a band can manage and produce itself, can enter the studio and release a finished album without anyone outside the group asking whether it’s good work. When was the last time a band at this level got sent back into the booth with orders to not come out until it has something worth releasing?
Worth a read, it raises some interesting questions. Thanks to my friend Adam for the link, this relates directly to a conversation we had recently about all the filler on recent commercial hip hop releases.

Yeah, shit yeah. Although rap albums have been pretty bloated for a while. I remember back in the day this was blamed on the longer running time of CDs.
Not sure who invented the rap "skit"? De La Soul?
Yeah I think it was De La Soul on '3 Feet High and Rising'.
Interesting fact that I just found while Googling: Prince Paul did an album that was nothing but skits!
