Is a three disc album too much?
That's what Mike Will Made-It and DJ Akademiks argued about, and it had to do with Rae Sremmurd's upcoming album that's supposed to be just that.
It all started when Ak said he enjoyed Sremm's new "Powerglide" single and Mike called him a bandwagon jumper, as well as a troll.
Ain’t nothing better to listen to while doing over 65 on the high way than “Powerglide” by @goSwaeLee and @Jxmmi .

From there, AK said he never said anything bad about Sremm's music, he just wasn't excited to hear an album with so many songs on it.
Cut it out... you got real bad listening comprehension.. I said i aint tryna hear 40 songs on a Project. Never said anything about anything being trash.... and still dont wanna hear 40 songs on any project. https://t.co/HS5XuMKsgh

he Comment you keep basing me 'doubting' or 'hating' on the project came from a Everyday Struggle segment we did on news that it was a triple album. Hence, I said 'If its 40 Songs.. It doesn't make me excited about hearing it' Are we clear.. u been misquoting me 4 a month. https://t.co/dO891aO6WI

And to further explain, why I said I'm not anticipating any album with 30-35+ songs these days.. is that you and all the industry know..that there is a push from most of these labels for more songs.. just to boost streaming numbers. Quantity over Quality. https://t.co/dO891aO6WI

Contd. Which even saying that.. I didn't accuse yall of doing Quantity over Quality.. I simply have been exhausted with these long projects we've been getting these last 3 years just to boost numbers. So I'm off of long ass projects.. by ANYONE. wasn't specific to sremmlife 3 https://t.co/dO891aO6WI

Our decisions aren’t forced upon us we move off timing / trendsetting ideas.
When the last time or anytime we seen a triple disc ?
And who can really get enough Sremm ? https://t.co/Iwqvrn3POS
If Sremm wanted to drop an album 50 + songs just know that shit gon slap from top to bottom we ain’t none of these other cats u might be referencing , whoever that is. It’s a different ballgame over here. 🚫🧢

What's your opinion? Is 30 or 40 songs too much?
