Yeezus and Born Sinner and I'ma tell you why

Born Sinner does not get old. Albums like NWTS, MCHG, and ASAP are fantastic in production value, but lyrically they're not saying much and they get old quick. Born Sinner, on the other hand, does a good job at balancing the beats with the lyrics. He doesn't sacrifice artistry or beat progression for heavy lyrics, nor does he sacrifice lyrical content for loud and structurally complex beats (well, for most of the songs). The hooks and sampling are also very strong, so you really can't get bored with an album like Born Sinner, even though I feel like it's not a 5 or even 4.5 mic album in the least bit.

Yeezus is very short and the beats have a whole lot of different things going on at the same time, with a lot of weird ass switch ups. In short, the album does a good job at pacing. It gets slow one moment then speeds up the next. That's the kind of music you get hype to and the kind that never gets old. Plus, Kanye might not be heavy on the lyrical tip, but he does have an undeniably aggressive delivery and his lines are very catchy. If you don't fukk with the album though, which I understand, then all of this doesn't apply.

Granted, these are not the only good albums, just the ones with most replay value and ones I've actually gone back and re-listened to since they came out, and I haven't even listened to every album that's dropped so far.

Shyt where is the love for Tyler's Wolf. That shyt knocked, its crazy how much buzz this dude had a couple of years ago and this album is underrated. I still play it.

Also 12 Reasons to Die even though it was not one of Ghosts most Lyrical Effort

Also Drake's joint was pretty good even though Take Care was a better album

All in all this year was stale though.

Albert Einstein by far has the most spins from me.

I don't need to be in any particular mood to play it, in its entirety.
