Rolling Stone Names Its 50 Best Albums Of 2013
Rolling Stone has announced its top 50 albums of 2013, with Kanye West’s Yeezus listed as #2 on the list.
“Kanye’s electro masterpiece is his most extreme album ever, which is saying something,” wrote Rolling Stone. “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.”
Other Hip Hop albums landing on the list include Drake’s Nothing Was the Same (#14), Danny Brown’s Old (#17), The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (#24), Chance the Rapper’s Acid Rap (#26), Pusha T’s My Name Is My Name (#33), J. Cole’s Born Sinner (#41), and Earl Sweatshirt’s Doris (#42).

This is disgusting. Paul Walker, Jay-Z and Rolling Stone. But no Nelson Mandela? I’m certain Nelson Mandela has had a greater influence on Hip-Hop and its artists than Paul Walker could have ever had. No mention of his name at all is just disrespectful.
its not that Mandela isn’t important to hiphopdx,they are late on covering stories… maybe early next year when the story is old.
until I looked at the bank draft saying $5501, I didn’t believe that…my… brothers friend was like they say really earning money part-time from there computar.. there friends cousin haz done this 4 only 10 months and resently cleared the depts on there cottage and bought a great Buick. try here… http://www.Fb39.Com
