Reply to comment by buffettmo in Artists/bands with big discographies by TheRealMMR

There can't possibly be any artist that has a more extensive discography. He's made more than 300 albums and been on 50+ albums with other artists/groups. I don't think OP needs to look into any more artists for a couple of months.

Holy fudge! Over 300 albums! What a beast! I think only have 1 of them too, lol. I heard of him from watching him play with Primus.

Edit: he’s the first person I’ve ever seen have an off button on his guitar.

I think Viper would top that

I have never heard of Viper before, but it looks like you might be correct? Googling him tells me he's either released ~250 (Wikipedia) or "well over 1500+" albums. That sounds like a confusing large difference.

It’s pretty hard to track because even on my phone on his Spotify page, when i scroll through his albums they only go from 2015-2022 even though he’s got albums on there from 2000s and he started releasing music in the late 90s, not sure if that’s on Spotify. I wonder if there’s a limit on how many albums Spotify shows. A while ago I saw a bunch of albums on his page that had 100 songs on them each and were basically a bunch of albums combined, which may also be why the numbers are getting confused.

If you want to know more about Viper there’s some entertaining YouTube videos on him, they’re funny but it’s kinda sad. He’s basically just a crack addict that churned out huge amounts of music and while it’s basically all garbage, he somehow managed to be the first to do a subgenre of hiphop about 10 years before anyone else. He’s became an underground culture legend because of his massive discography and entertainingly bad album names and cover arts.

Well this was..an experience.
I don't know much about rap, I've never liked it, but I'm pretty sure this counts as bad. https://youtu.be/PBK6qZqmfDk

Thanks for the tip, this is a fun little rabbit hole!
