2pac just seemed too intense and focused to give it up though, so I don't know...

Doubt it. Hell, if they never died i don't think Pac would've been big much longer. He was too unstable to have a nice, steady run on the top. Dude is kinda like Beanie Sigel n Chief Keef, in the sense that none of em had any idea how to act in the industry (altho Pac wasn't mobbin like Chief Keef, n he DEFINITELY wasn't mobbin like Beans). B.I.G., i could see having a long career on top. Who knows, he mighta ended up bein where Jay-Z is now, havin the most longevity in hip-hop history.

this?

A couple weeks ago in the R&B thread, LBGetBack asked us what was the best 1-2 punch of songs of an R&B album, so I was just curious what do you guys think for hip-hop albums?

For me, I take The World is Yours/Memory Lane from Illmatic over any other.

Miss U by Biggie is one of his biggest slept on songs.

Such a great track.

Anything from Illmatic could be argued. I'd probably take that combo right now.

Cereal Killer/Da Rockwilder was a nice combo. That album overall flowed nicely.

Oh and there's always CREAM/Method Man. Clearly the standout tracks from that album.

but....but...kanye fell off...but...

this soundtrack will be fucking amazing, so hyped for it that this is the first song off the leaks that I've listened to in full

Yeah C.R.E.A.M./M.E.T.H.O.D. Man is a strong contender.

Also Ice Cream/Verbal Intercourse is strong as well.

I don't want to listen to any song before it officially get's released, just stumbled upon the Kanye song and didn't even know it was on the soundtrack

I understand trap and hype music is looked down upon but I geniunely enjoy most of Chief Keef's music. Obviously I enjoy it for what it is. I certainly don't listen for the lyrics but I really enjoy beats and punch lines.

i do

Puffy really has no shame. The whole album was recycled verses put together with an army of wack rappers and producers. (not all of them, of course)

There's Halftime between those two songs you mentioned.

As for me, I love the opening 3 songs to Straight Outta Compton. Title track, Fuck tha Police and Gangsta Gangsta. Love Geto Boys' albums too, so you can take any of them (It Ain't Shit/Crooked Officer from Till Death Do Us Part, Assassins/Do It Like a G.O. from self-titled or Chuckie/Mind Playing Tricks from We Can't Be Stopped).

And of course, Kool G Rap's Road to the Riches. Like SOC, there's three top notch tracks opening the album.
