. . .on their own defines whether or not something is or isn't an EP, I see what you were going for.
And frankly I'm tired of people critiquing illmatic for being short. What about the two mediocre beats?
To answer the question that begs to be asked though: there's actually more grey area than most of us would probably be willing to admit as far as what is or isn't an EP. I think most music nerds would agree that it's a combination of how many actual tracks the release has, what they consist of and their collective length.
