How Is This Even A Debate?

God Bless Pac's memory and all but let's be honest, AEOM is an average body of work. Had it been 12-15 tracks then we'd be able to have a respectable debate with mostly the SAME result.
 
Pac was the first to do a double album in hip hop history. Not that hard to study and take notes and create your own and try and make it better.

What is it to study? It's just an album times two. Most rappers record numerous songs to submit to the label anyway. Much less when they're just recording to try to pick the best.

And what did Pac teach, how to put out a double album in an effort o hurry up and get out of your deal with Death Row, because you're trying too hard and the dudes you're running with are leading to you to your demise?

Are you kidding? It seems insignificant now. Nobody was gonna ever do a double. Yes rappers record a lot, but how many of them are album cuts vs throwaways. All eyes on me changed the game!

Could you imagine Wutang Forever being one disc?! Scarface My Homies or Art of War , The Albulation being one disc.

Sure Streets Disciple and BP2. Weren't classics but we still got doubles.

Matter of fact all the top tier hip-hop groups and artist's had to drop a double. You had to be on a higher level to do a double

This is all fact. It ain't no coincidence that after AIOM every top rapper started dropping double albums. If it was that simple _'s woulda been doing it.


I hate how people always turn these Big vs Pac topics like you have to be one side and hate the other. Pac set trends, Big trends. AIOM is a classic, LID is a classic.
 
LOL @ LAD being a more "polished" album.

Sorry, but when you have DJ Quik on the boards, you aren't getting more polished than that. :lol:

I wish cats would just say I like _____ better, rather than throw out these ridiculous assertions that go against reality. Anyways, lots of ******* in this thread. :lol:

That's just a product of a copycat industry. Double albums had been done for decades before. I think there was a double album rap compilation before also. Double albums were done, and they were just normally cut down to one album to fit time wise on a cassette and later CD. People didn't do it, because the industry wasn't sure people would pay for a double album. Then the RIAA started counting it as two albums.

Tupac had been in jail and had a crazy work ethic. There was nothing difficult about it. You have dudes doing mixtapes every three and four months now.

I'd rather have one great album rather than a double with a bunch of filler. I didn't like Jay's, Wu's or Pac's. Life After Death was the most complete one and it was like a movie. Not just a bunch of songs thrown together like a mixtape.

I'll take Wu Tang - Forever over either of these.

Easily.

It had filler, too.  But not near as much as LAD and AEOM.  And most of it came at the end of the album (it really could've ended after "Heaterz").  Pretty sure I've never listened to "Black Shampoo" the entire way through.

I feel that All Eyez On Me aged better than Life After Death. Some of the songs Ambitionz Az A Ridah, Shorty Wanna Be A Thug, How Do You Want It, California Love, 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, Life Goes On, Only God Can Judge Me, and I Ain't Mad at Cha are pretty memorable. Most casual listeners remember Hypnotize, Mo Money Mo Problems, I Got a Story to Tell, and Going Back to Cali from Life After Death. 
 
Both albums are classics and both have filler. I would never say it's no debate or not even close. I think that's crazy as hell to say.
 
Life After Death.

I love Pac though and AEOM too, but as someone else said in the thread Life After Death was like an experience to me.

I was like big was rapping but he was just talking, but it was rhyming and it was a story. When I listen to the songs on it I'm like drawn into it and start imagining myself in the story he's telling like in a third person perspective.

Hard to explain but it's just...
 
I also want to ask this question, do you all believe Pac had a 3 Peat, 4 Peat, or 5 Peat with his albums?

To be honest, I think he's Bill Russell. If you heard the original unreleased versions of his songs. His unreleased stuff is untouchable. They messed up so many of his songs by putting new beats on them.

All the One Nation songs, the original Black Jesus and Secretz of War :smokin

True, I like the original Out On Bail also but Pain is my favorite Pac song of all time.
 
Cause this is how it is,

what's the use unless we're shooting,

no one notices the youth,

it's just me and against the world baby

Damn. So true. Too real.
