Title: Hiphop double albums
Post by: Elevz 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.

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
