I know that a lot of posthumous albums are crap, (ie: recent tupac and biggie ones) but I was wondering what posthumous albums are your favorites? Are there any that you would consider classic? Do you not like any of them?

Discuss.

If you dont know what a posthumous album is it's something that is released after the death of a performer. Frequently these works take on special significance because it is known that the artist will not produce any more work.

^ Good choice

How are some of these posthumous when they came out months after the rapper died? No doubt they put down 90% (or more) of the work before they passed.
