27. "But aren’t their songs long because of Pete?" In response to In response to 26
I don’t feel like CL is kicking three 32 bar verses on each song lol
Their songs are usually a longer run time due to Pete adding in the bridges and taking time to shine at the end with the drops and scratches.
Which is something I always found dope.
I was just too young for Mecca & The Soul Brother as that’s when I was getting into hip-hop through more commercial albums like The Chronic and The Predator.
The Main Ingredient was my shit because not only was it insanely dope, but it also didn’t have that advisor sticker so that helped at the age of 12 when my parents were not trying to let me play other albums.
But I remember even then noticing how long that album was. 78 minutes is pushing it a bit. But every song was crazy and I noticed that the length was due to Pete scratching and bringing the hook in and out at the end. Not to mention the beat interludes.
