You didn't think “Gotti” was legit? I heard that song and thought “Holy fuck, this is actually REALLY GOOD” ... Not like Carter III, but also totally different from the deluge of cookie cutter bangers he's been throwing out like leftovers.
It's a damn good song.
But I agree about the whole mixtape/shit ton of singles thing.
Fuck, Niki Minaj has been relying on singles ALL YEAR, and you KNOW the Pinkprint isn't complete. She's been able to stay in the spotlight just based on videos and digital singles.
Mind you, I'm totally in favor of bands releasing singles in between albums. It's the marketing style used by most of the great British bands since the Beatles. Blur, Stone Roses, joy division, etc. It totally works for rock bands, because it guarantees a nice day singles comp that plays like an album, and I'm down with that.
But for Rap/hip-hop... Fuck it.
