Justin’s Top Ten of 2011
4. Watch the Throne by Kanye West and Jay Z
When H.A.M. was released, I was pretty disappointed. And honestly, when Otis was first released I wasn’t too into it either. But when you’ve just released an album like “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” it’s going to be hard to follow it up with ANYTHING. Watch the Throne at first glance is a fun album where it’s apparent Jay and Ye are enjoying themselves. At first it seems like a very on the surface record. As you get deeper into the album, the album gets deeper. Watch the Throne is about enlightenment, pride, exploitation, celebration of wealth, black power, injustice and apathy for all these things, all at the same time. Oh yea, and it’s awesome. Who gon stop me now?
