    well i obviously meant that he only had two finished albums while alive (and even Life After Death, was released after he died) but fair enough

    Biggie is top 5 for me, but I wouldn’t call him the greatest. The combo of his pen game and flow together was pretty un matched in the 90s but a lot has changed since then.

    I love Mac, but we've got 2 from him already and the 2nd one was unnecessary. Juice had the most future growth potential...he gets my vote

    IMO, you should only get 1 post-humous album from any rapper. 1 and then done. Anything beyond that and it's not true to the artist's vision and craft, but instead becomes a scramble to slap together anything non-comprehensive that producers had laying around.

    Exception is if the artist had multiple albums in-process already.

    oh wait is it meant like in a posthumous way or in a ' dead rapper comes alive again and drops a contemporary album' type of way? Because if it's the former I wouldn't choose 2Pac

    Wow, I'm surprised. I always knew you're into dope hip-hop, but never knew you'll pick DOOM over Biggie etc. Now I love you more!

    initially i would say mac but he gave us so much material in his time, juice i think who was so so young deserved to leave more art behind..death race for love was a classic honestly

    juice was definitely dope for sure.all of them honestly. The majority of dead rappers are legends or had the potential to be one.
