Favorite Hip-Hop Double Albums

So there aren't a TON of hip hop double albums but there are a few gems within the existing ones. Just post your favorite/favorites and tell why.

My favorite:

The amount of knowledge and science referenced within this one is crazy. Like they say in the album, this is all the education you'll need. The classic "Triumph" still stands as one of the best hip hop songs ever and as one of the riskiest choices for a hip hop group at the top of their game trying to sell a double album. 5 some odd minutes long, no hook, no catchy beat, just pure unadulterated hip-hop skills. Most of the members get to show their skills but there IS a noticeable lack of GZA and ODB. (who were two of the most prominent on the debut)

The production is incredible and shows a natural growth from the previous Wu-Tang album. There are flourishing strings, R&B backing vocals, and synths here. They combine to form a timeless sheen on a great hip hop double album.

So what's you guys favorite and WHY?
