LAD is one of the most sampled albums in the history of rap music

 

[Jerz-2]

Oh boy, here we go...

 

[Piff Perkins]

Top 3 makes sense to me. Honestly the only gripe I have is if I add a second posthumous Pac album to a list like this, it'll be Until The End Of Time instead of Better Dayz.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Garbage list

Makaveli should be 1. R u still down should be in there instead of better days

Eazy e shouldn't be that low


Cac Miller that high? Yeah this list was made by hipsters

 

[LevelUp]

Idk the order is always weird with this site lists
I don't think it's bad overall tho.

 

[bigde09]

I don’t count LAD and Makaveli since both Biggie and Pac were alive and put those albums together themselves.

I know they are both technically posthumous albums but they are different than Born Again and Better Dayz which were true posthumous albums

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Keep the Truth Alive by Drakeo the Ruler should be on there

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

#1

 

[get these nets]

Weird list. Biggie's album was produced and mixed while he was alive. Some of the albums listed are pieced together money grab projects. Over half of the list is pure D trash.

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

>>>>>>>>half of that list

I don't hate the rankings, but how do we truly define a posthumous album? Is it an album that the artist didn't have control over? If so, you have to exclude LAD and Makaveli.

Also, Tribe album is a weird inclusion because Phife was involved with it and it's a group album. Same issue with UGK and Gang Starr to some extent.

Also, I think Pun recorded most, if not all, of that 2nd album before his death.

Dilla inclusion is fair game though. He wasn't alive for a chunk of the recording. Same with the others.

Pop Smoke album is top 5
