How many times has an artist had multiple AOTY's in a row?

[MidnightMercenary]

This is something that I have been thinking about lately. Some artists has had amazing prime where they release multiple classic albums in a row but has there been any occurrence where a rapper has been able to have the 'Album of the Year' spot multiple times in a row?

Ice Cube is the only artist that has to me, having released AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted and Death Certificate in 1990 and 1991 respectively. Death Certificate has competition with The Low End Theory for 1991's AOTY but I give the slight edge to Cube for being better lyrically and having more cohesion.

What do you think?

Stillmatic / Lost Tapes

 

[Suspicious Dingo]

I wanted to say It's Dark and Hell is Hot / Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, but the came out in the same year

 

[mobbinfms]

Infamous and Hell on Earth

 

[JayBaldacci]

Infamous and Hell on Earth

good pick, but both lose too linx and ironman.

 

[Chip Skylark]

Well hopefully Lupe drop 3 cds this year if so

2015 Tetsuo and Youth

2016 Drogas, Drogas Light, or Roy(hopefully)

I can't really think of an artist who has had AOTY back to back that's one hell of a feat

I reckon Kanye West had the best albums of 2004 and 2007 and 2010 tbh

So he oddly enough might be the frontrunner in that regard

Wu-Tang Clan as a group for 1993 and 1997

Cube as you said for 1990 and 1991

it depends tho are you talking consecutive years, or just random years? like Cube fits the category regardless but what about Ye?

also Ghost could be 2000 and 2006

OutKast 1996 and 1998

Jay-Z for 2001 and 2003

Raekwon comes real close with 1995 and 2009 but I'd give 1995 to GZA and Liquid Swords

Kendrick with 2012 and 2015

the most impressive of all of these for me is Cube by quite a distance with his two masterpieces

but Kanye has the most for me with 3

Back to back? There's Cube in 90-91. I'm sure there are other examples but I'm too lazy to sit down and think about it.:ehhiguess:

Hard to say cause muthaphuckas usually wait a year to drop another album.

 

[onlylno]

it's almost impossible unless the artist is also a gifted producer.

Dr. Dre with the Chronic/Doggystyle.

The RZA with Liquid Swords/OBFCL/Iron Man/Wutang Forever.

Kanye with College Dropout/Late Registration.
