life after death......isnt a classic....slap away

other than 3 or 4 songs the rest of it is easily skippable

Wu-Tang Forever, All Eyez On Me & Life After Death : excellent double disc albums

Very good : Art Of War, Blueprint 2 : The Gift & The Curse, Streets Disciple, The psychic World of Walter Reed

Okay : My Homies, MP Da Lost Don

^ I would add Eightball-Lost and Dipset-Diplomatic Immunity to very good list. Nelly Sweat/Suit gets added to the way below average list.

[Rev Jones]

You are most definitely right. I hadn't thought of those albums.

Master P's Good Side Bad Side is decent too, with good use of (at the time) an updated crunk production sound

[Rev Jones]

Speakerboxxx/Love Below : very good

[b-dolo]

2 Pac- Ru Still down and Krayzie Bone-Thug Mentality are very good. Are there double albums outside of rap music that exist?

[Rev Jones]

2Pac's got two more posthumous double disc albums that contain good material.

E40's got one called Element of Surprise, Kurupt's got Kuruption, Yukmouth's got Thugged Out : The Albulation. Cypress Hill's got Skull & Bones.

Then there's also some Death Row helmed spundtracks and label compilations but these are not single artist releases.

Those are the only ones I can think of right now but thete's bound to be a few more.

When you look at ALL the titles mentioned in this thread there's hardly a really wack album in sight. Kuruption maybe?

[Rev Jones]

Oh sorry I misread your post. You were talking outside out of rap. I know some artists get full bonus discs on re-release, often already a year after the original release, to capitalize on a new single or due to other circumstances such as death. Amy Winehouse's first two albums got the double disc treatment this way.

Smashing Pumpkins had a double disc album that was very good.

I think it's more of a thing in rap.

Back to rap, I forgot about UGK's 'Underground Kingz', another fine double album.
