To kick off the new “Top 10s” section on LOUD.com, we started with the centerpiece of hip hop: the album.  The LOUD.com staff had some heated debates over our final 10 list but we finally came to a conclusive, and sure to be controversial, list of the Top 10 Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All Time.

This 1996 classic was certified platinum four hours after being released.  It went on to sell over 10 million albums.  With the huge single, “California Love” remix leading the way,  All Eyez On Me churned out classics such as “Only God Can Judge Me”, “2 Of Americaz More Wanted” and “Can’t C Me”.  Arguably, Pac’s greatest album, it was released exactly 7 months before his death.
