my favorite is all eyez on me
All Eyez on Me is a double album by rapper Tupac Shakur released on February 13, 1996 (see 1996 in music). The album has become one of the most influential albums in hip hop history and is often considered one of the crowning achievements of 1990s rap. The album reached Platinum qualification in only 4 hours[1], and reached #1 on the Billboard 200 charts. Although the album has sold over 7 million copies[2] which would make it qualify for Diamond status, since each sale of a double-album counts as two. The albums is one of the highest selling albums in hip-hop. The album was last certified 9x Platinum by the RIAA in 1999. All Eyez on Me was released after Suge Knight, CEO of Death Row Records, bailed Shakur out of jail as a part of Shakur's contract to sign with Death Row Records; this double-album served as the first two records of his three album contract. He arrived in the studios literally hours after being released from prison to begin work on this 27 track hip-hop tour de force. The prolific rapper finished this album in only two weeks[3].
