AEOM has to be top 3 on anyone's list, even if you didn't like Pac, the impact and the success the album had alone should put it on the top of the list.
The album arguably has the 3 best commercial tracks of the year with California Love, 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted & How Do You Want It, then you have the collab with Wu-Tang (best track on the album) and Tradin War Stories goes hard as f.
Overall, 1996 was a great year for rap music, Pac, Jay & Nas put out some of their greatest music (lyrically, peak-wise) and Mobb Deep dropped one of the hardest albums I've ever had a please of listening to. UGK & Outkast dropped top 10 GOAT southern albums too. Snoop had his funkiest album and it's by far his most underrated joint when looking at his discography, overshadowed by 2Pac's death at the time of release.
You heard rumors back in the day about Pac signing the Wu Clan to his own label, as he was going to leave DR because Suge was not handling the business side right, pimping his own artists and not paying Pac, Snoop or Dre the money they really deserved. Makes me sad thinking about "what if", Suge ruined a damn dynasty.
