Name The Best Sophomore Albums?

[CapitalC]

Kanye, Em, Lupe

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

Death Certificate (Ice Cube)

The World Is Yours (Scarface)

Niggaz4life (NWA) - Highly Slept On

It Was Written (Nas)

 

[ImWhiteBoyAwesome]

Better than Illmatic?

The second album has to be better than the first in your opinion. If it is, cool..just making sure niggas understand...

It Was Written and The Cool would have to be my answers to this.

Life After Death >>>> Ready To Die (I consider both classics, but Life After Death has nearly double the classic material)

ATLiens >>>> Southernplayalistic

Late Registration >>>> College Dropout

Trap Muzik >>>> I'm Serious

MMLP >>>>>>>>>> SSLP (never really thought much of SSLP and artistically Em upped the ante)

2001 >>>> Chronic (2001 has aged better)

Take Care >>>> Thank Me Later

Very true on both accounts and I need to mention Mobb Deeps' The Infamous, coz that was like 1000x better than the first.

LOL i THOUGHT THATS WAS THAT NIGGAS FIRST ALBUM.

Just means you have some catching up to do. Enjoy.

I'd say Buck The World is better than Welcome To Cashville

 

[real_hh_rep]

Low End Theory
Eyes On This (MC Lyte)
Take Care (big improvement)
Liquid Swords
Late Registration
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (probably the best example)
ATLiens
Follow the Leader (IMO better than Paid in Full)

 

[c.b.b.]

Marshall Mathers and Late Registration (lyrically) come to mind.

Ambition
