Rolling Stone has released its “50 Best Albums of 2013” list.
And at#2, Kanye West had the highest ranked Rap album on the list with Yeezus.
“Kanye’s electro masterpiece is his most extreme album ever, which is saying something,” Rolling Stone writes regarding Yeezus. “No wonder the late, great Lou Reed embraced Yeezus, since it’s basically the Metal Machine Music concept translated into futuristic Hip Hop, all industrial overload and hyper-tense egomania and hostile vibes.”
Rounding out the top 25 was Drake’s Nothing Was The Same ranked at #14, Danny Brown’s Old landed at #17 and Eminem’s most recent project, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 landed at #24.
Chance The Rapper’s Acid Rap was #26 and Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz arrived at #27 on the list.
Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name made the list at #33, J. Cole hit at #41 with Born Sinner, Earl Sweatshirt’s Doris made it at #42 and M.I.A. arrived at #47 with Matangi.
Hmmm … J.Cole at #41. Nah … This kid is fire. No so sure about Em’s placement either. Maybe they should swap.
