What time length is ideal for a hip hop album?

I think albums should be about an hour long.

You can pull off a short album (40 minutes) if it’s all great material (Illmatic).

Long albums are never good. They’re fatiguing and have a lot of filler.

Double albums are also not good. There are some great hip hop double albums but they could all be cut down to a single disc and improved.

Chosen Answer:

no more than 65 minutes. if i’ve never listened to an album before, odds are i won’t if it’s 70+ minutes.

there are exceptions like life after death and OB4CL II.
