Hiphop double albums
« on: June 02, 2005, 08:49:20 AM »
So... This is a forever ongoing discussion on what's the best hiphop double album of all time, so I decided to make a poll about it. I didn't put Greatest hits albums or albums with bonus discs as double discs here.

2Pac - All eyez on me (1996)
Notorious B.I.G. - Life after death (1997)
Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang forever (1997)
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony - The art of war (1998)
Krayzie Bone - Thug mentality (1999)
Cypress Hill - Skull & Bones (2000)
Jay-Z - The blueprint 2.1: the gift and the curse (2002)
OutKast - Speakerboxxx/The love below (2003)
Nas - Street's disciple (2004)

I'm really sorry if I forgot to list some albums, but I pretty much thought this was it. Time to share your thoughts!

It's a close call for me, but I like the Wu-Tang album the best. Only album on that list that I haven't heard is the Bone Thugs one... But it's never mentioned along with classics, so I guess it's not that special.

^^^Art of War is a very dope album.

But best one is All Eyez on Me followed very closely by Wu Tang Forever.....those are the only two double cds that I would give 5 mics to.

All Eyez On Me, but Art Of War and Thug Mentality 1999 are very dope albums as well!

There's one problem with double albums... They're hardly ever classics because they always got some weaker cuts. Maybe 35 tracks for one project is just too much - it's hard to keep people focussed listening. To my standards, none of the albums listed above are classics. Maybe the 2Pac joint, even though I like the Wu-Tang album better.

I consider both All Eyez On Me and Art Of War classics.

2Pac - All Eyez On Me


The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse is considered as Jay-Z's worst album

i'll be shocked if anyone rates Jay-Z's worst album better than one of 2Pac's best ever albums....lol

the Wu-Tang. "AEOM" had some mediocrity on the second disc, the Wu one was more consistently nice IMO
