@NathanRicaud I said before I hate lists but 3k is definitely in my top 10Sa-Roc rocks!
I'm in love with that album.
And yes, @NathanRicaud, I'm most probably with you in regards to 3 Stacks - OutKast has been my most influential hip hop group growing up and there's just something about his style that speaks to me like nothing else.

They're all too bloated though, even Summertime to a degree. And if you consider Speakerboxx/The Love Below as a double album, it'd probably be above Diplomatic Immunity. But I consider it as 2 separate solo albums. And Underground Kingz is just behind Forever.

Brockhampton got an album leak happening any minute.
Maybe even a 2nd scrapped album aswell.
Fk I hope thats true!

Its subjective i respect anyone with a different opinion. These albums are extremely close in terms of quality for me. Pac my favourite artist of all time so its going to be biased lol

I gave up trying to rank Big and Pac long ago, they are just equal to me. Big was technically the better rapper and storyteller, but Pac's charisma and ability to make you feel what he said was unmatched. They were both great, just in different ways. I think personally I would go 1-Life After Death, 2-Me Against the World, 3-Makaveli, 4-Ready to Die, 5-All Eyez on Me.

What are you guys ranking? 2xCD albums? Seems like that would be a pretty short list. That is too long for a single album. Also, many single CD albums are longer than some that have been listed, like Summertime '06, that's why I'm confused about the criteria.

I remember always parking my car in a hidden little area in a field down the way from my parents house and always playing Hard Times and If I Could Teach The World from Bone Thugs double album while smoking the cheapest ass weed ever

Oh man, you are bringing back some fond memories. Riding around smoking blunts of brick weed, listening to Bone was everything!

Was coming to give Art of War a shout-out. I really enjoy a good amount of that album but feel lots never really talked about.

I prefer Pac because he has more diverse subject matter and IMO his best beats slap way harder, although Big's two albums are overall better produced/more cohesive.

It started out as just Double albums so yeah 2 x CD but got skewed along the way as always lol

As someone who is really happy with many 2xLPs, I don't know if any albums that are long enough to need to be on 2 CDs wouldn't be improved by cutting some tracks, but 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time is a pretty good one, even if it only missed 1 CD by 10 or 15 minutes.
I think the Staples album is great, but it has an unfair advantage of being an artistic decision as opposed to not fitting on a single disc.

Hard to argue with your trimming logic its very true. Staples isn't a double length feature to me in the same breath as Life After Death or AEOM. Its too short so yes its an unfair advantage and I'm a massive Vince Staples fan

FatBeats' outdid themselves with the Baker's Dozen XIII packaging! Crisp tip-on jacket and spare but striking use of gold foil. Excellent album, glad I picked this up blind.
