Top 100 Albums of All Time - Day 47

Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Forever

top 50 easily suckas...

greatest double album of all time any genre

It's top 100 to me. However, i don't think it's the best double album ever. It's certainly on the short list of contenders though

Top 75 to me.. could have been better considering how many MC's the Clan's got, still dope as fuck though.

Dope album, but not even a classic IMO. Neither.

"Dope album, but not even a classic IMO. Neither."

Nope, not a classic, not even close. I got at least 10 other double disc albums I got ahead of this.

10 of them? Can you list them? I can't even think of 10 total of the top...

Tupac- All Eyez On Me
Nate Dogg- G-Funk Classics, Vols. 1 & 2
Biggie- Life After Death
Krayzie Bone- Thug Mentality
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony – The Art of War
Tupac Shakur – R U Still Down? (Remember Me)
E-40 – The Element of Surprise
Tupac Shakur – Better Dayz
Jay-Z – The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse
Nas- Street's Disciple

I know I'm missing a couple. All those I dig and bump more than "Wu Forever". I just never got the into "Wu Forever", nothing really jumped out that made me want to listen to it again as the years go by. That's after at least 5 spins when I first copped it. It's been years since I last listened to it, though.

Ready To Die is a double album...

The only double albums I have before this one are: 8Ball- Lost, Krayzie Bone- Thug Mentality, and maybe BTNH- Art Of War

I'd put Wu Forever up against most those (at least the one's I've heard). Good call on the E-40 though. That's a dope one.

Lol, that was sarcasm. I meant to put is.

You have to add some sort of the text style to it then. We can't read your mind. We don't know which words you're emphasizing over the net. Especially not....on weeeeed.

smh fixed, batches!

Y'all ever gave Nate Dogg- G-Funk Classics, Vols. 1 & 2 a listen? That's a Tran's personal classic right there.

I have not. Nate Dogg though? Just doesn't seem too worth checking out. He's always been a background cat to me.

Like the title states, G- Funk Classic, Al, at least to me.

I suggest you check it out, Al. It may surprise you. I can hook you up with a link if you want.

I'm gonna have to co-sign Pounds on that statement. It's probably my 2nd favorite double hip-hop CD, but it's got about 3-4 skip tracks IMO.

I beg to differ. Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life is easily better IMO.

MJ? c'mon man. disc 2 had a couple of skip tracks, and disc 1 is a greatest hits cd. It's not even fair to count that album.

AEOM, LAD, Lost, WTF, and Art of War are probably my top 5 hip hop double albums.

LOL, I thought about what I said and then I edited it Terry, LOL.

For those that didn't see the original post, I put Michael Jackson's HIStory over this album, but then I took it back.

I don't take back Songs In The Key Of Life though, that's a slam dunk classic.

I agree. If he's saying it's the best of any genre, that's crazy to me. You can even throw The Wall into the mix. Comfortably Numb crushes anything on WTF.

^ that was just me stanning

but anyway, smh at this entire thread, this is wu tang lyrically taking a shit on the entire hip hop genre, never has there been such great/diverse lyrics with so many different styles and flows compressed into one cohesive album

lyrically this is probably my favorite album ever

I don't deny that this is a dope album, but it's just not skip free to me.

Do you like this album better than 36 Chambers? I think that album crushes this one.

I'll say top 75. Probably my favorite double album. There's a couple mediocre tracks but overall, it's a great album.

I think people need to take into account that this is a double album. While i don't think there is a true 5 star double album in hip hop, i do think there is plenty of great material to spin this regularly. As crazy as it sounds, i have no problem putting this above some single disc 5 star albums because there is so much dope material on this album. Does that sound crazy? LOL!

The Wall is probably #1 for me. The Beatles' White album is up there too. And Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde, and Chicago Transit Authority.

Co-sign The White Album. I can play My Guitar Gently Weeps all day. If any loves My Heart Gently Weeps, i recommend that you check out RZA's source. I'm not the biggest Dylan fan, but that's a really good album. I'm not sure if i've ever heard the CTA album.

this is a neither easily too...it's a very good album but it is not a great album, I think RZA should have made it one album and then it may have been able to have been a complete classic.....for the record I have Life After Death ahead of this one as far as double albums go..but I do have this one ahead of All Eyez On Me..

anyway it's a neither for me!

i agree with most things Terry has said in this thread.

anyway on to day 48...

I could see top 100 nothing higher. My top 5 double's are

AEOM
LAD
Lost
WuTang Forever
Element Of Surprise and Undagroun Kingz (Tied)
