"does biggie make the best album in hip hop history? yes he did, life after death" - juelz santana

[MoneyBags]

LAD hands downs best rap album ever. R2D is not even close in terms of impact, the array of songs, the story telling, the word play, the flows, nor production. LAD was literally a movie i audio form.

I prefer rtd because it has zero skips, but lad is great too. Ob4cl is probably my pick for personal all time album

 

[Knicksman20]

I always go back back & forth which album is better (RTD is slightly better to me) but I will say those two albums are the GOAT though. LAD has some of the best music I've ever heard though

 

[Techniec]

i personally prefer RTD but you really cant go wrong with either...RTD was more cohesive, LAD was more epic...

my only thing is that RTD has no skips...whereas theres 3-4 tracks on LAD that ill skip if I can (but not wack enough to go out of my way to skip)...like AEOM in that sense

 

[Farrinto]

I prefer LAD to RTD but I don't think LAD is the GOAT hip-hop album. I ain't mad at his choice though. I agree with the breh who said there probably isn't a single greatest hip-hop album.

my only thing is that RTD has no skips...

"Respect" has always been instant skip status to me.

it's crazy just how great life after death still sounds in 2016. 19 years later the album is still light years of ahead of time

Are you guys serious? LAD is not even top 100 hip hop albums. Literally half the tracks get skipped.

 

[I love Latina women]

lookin' at the track list right now, 1 thing that's pretty impressive is the fact that it's a double cd with a total of 24 tracks with only 8 songs havin' features

That's unheard of nowadays. On a 12 track single album 8 collabos would be normal now

exactly! it's crazy just how well he carried a double album basically by himself

[VBM]

It's Dark and Hell is Hot has the same number of 4-5 star tracks on one CD

LAD is a classic (with one of the best/ -inspiring outro tracks ever in You're Nobody), but GOAT? nah...

 

[AMcV'88]

it doesn't crack my cemented top 4 (OB4CL, Reasonable Doubt, The Infamous, Illmatic) but...
i'm sure theres plenty of people especially at or around Juelz age that would call it the best album ever.

last time i listened to LAD i only skipped Nasty Boy.
bout to put both RTD & LAD on now
