Today is the 3rd anniversary of the 3rd best double album in hip-hop history, Street’s Disciple (Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and All Eyez on Me hold the 1 & 2 two positions respectively, imo). So, allow me to indulge in a bit of throwback stannery.
Whatever happened to Quan?
“Thief’s Theme”
A dope remix of “Bridging the Gap”

Quibian Salazar-Moreno Says: November 30th, 2007 at 5:50 pm Hmmm… I would say Wu-Tang Forever would probably the best. And Biggie’s Life After Death is definitely better than Street’s Disciple. |

T2 Says: November 30th, 2007 at 5:52 pm I dissagree with You about Streets Disciple I think it would of been a classic if it was a one disc cus it did have some great tracks but it had some average tracks aswell. I think All Eyes On Me and Life After Death were way better. |

DJ Raida Says: November 30th, 2007 at 5:54 pm Oh yeah, great album. This song is classic, nas’s flow on it is insane. |

Rizoh Says: November 30th, 2007 at 5:55 pm LAD would tie SD for the No.3 slot and Wu-Tang Forever would definitely make my top 5. I’m still waiting on some random Jay-Z fan to come here and say some outlandish sh*t about Blueprint 2. |

Rizoh Says: November 30th, 2007 at 5:57 pm Both All Eyez on Me and Life After Death are mad overrated. They both had crazy filler if you go back and listen again. Street’s Disciple is not a classic per se, but it’s bold, compassionate, compelling, and raw as f*ck. |

Ivan Says: November 30th, 2007 at 6:11 pm I didn’t like Speakerboxxx at all…..I thought that entire half was wack aside from maybe 3 or 4 tracks….. Street’s Disciple was nice, don’t get me wrong. But Life After Death deserves to be up there man…. Which tracks do you think are filler? |

Donny F Says: November 30th, 2007 at 7:12 pm Bven Nas stans would say Life After Death was better than Street’s Disciple. |

Purpose Says: November 30th, 2007 at 8:14 pm Street Disciple is a horrible album imo. wu-tang forever is much better. |

They know… « On My Paper Says: November 30th, 2007 at 8:25 pm […] Rizoh salutes a pretty good double album. [TheRapUp] […] |

pgoat Says: November 30th, 2007 at 8:54 pm Diplomatic Immunity Vol. 1 is the best hip-hop double lp. |

Rizoh Says: November 30th, 2007 at 9:07 pm Again… # Rizoh Says: LAD would tie SD for the No.3 slot and Wu-Tang Forever would definitely make my top 5. I’m still waiting on some random Jay-Z fan to come here and say some outlandish sh*t about Blueprint 2. |

Llano Says: November 30th, 2007 at 10:16 pm That bridging the gap remix goes to show you how a dope beat could of helped many of nas’ songs. You know his flow is always up to par but sometimes I question his beat selection…. He’s still the GOAT though. |

esbee Says: December 1st, 2007 at 3:12 am Has any double album really been good though? Even Jay knew BP2 had its bout with filler hence BP 2.1 It’s really difficult to do a double album and have it be perfect. I think Wu-tang forever leads the pack…and let’s not get it twisted AOOM had its filler moments.. |

Fivefold Says: December 1st, 2007 at 5:22 am How about “Blueprint 2″? It should be up there!!! lol |

ICE Says: December 1st, 2007 at 9:22 am With 3 singles like that how can it not be considered one of the best dbl albums?! HTTP://ICEDOTCOM.BLOGSPOT.COM/ |

Erock LAzron Says: December 1st, 2007 at 11:22 am 1) Wu Tang Forever Consistancy wise, thats the order I’d put em’ in, but it’s sacrilege to not even have Wu Tang Forever in your top 3 |
| 17. |
T2 Says: December 1st, 2007 at 2:06 pm BP 2 had great tracks but it had way to much fillers to be called a classic same with Streets Disciples. |
| 18. |
Chaz Says: December 1st, 2007 at 8:30 pm Where would the new UGK fit in? That’s a great ass double album. |
| 19. |
Understanding Says: December 2nd, 2007 at 11:49 pm Good look. That Street’s Disciple joint has been one of my favorite CD’s since it came out. “Remember The Times”, “Theif’s Theme”, “American Way”, “These Are Our Heroes”, “Live Now”, “Reason” … Mad joints on this CD set. The fact that NaS’s lazy ass* only did two video’s 4 it kinda’ pisses me off but its always two or three with dude. |

J to the AAP Says: December 3rd, 2007 at 3:22 am Mmm… i rate Speakerboxx/Love Below as Outkast’s weakest moment (maybe next to Idelwild). Big Boi’s half was nice, Dre’s half was interesting but with little replay value, overall pretty good, but not by ‘Kast standards. Big Boi+Andre > Big Boi or Andre imo. SD is mad underrated, but better than LAD or WTF? Not in my book. And Chaz raises a valid point, UGK definitley deserves a spot in the double album top 5. |
