I mean here we are in a what DO you like post, and with all the non-hip-hop left field shit I'm into, my first thought was Watch The Throne. Like, out of the context of all of the Love to Hate and Hate to Love Jay & Kanye respectively, I actually really just like that album. I don't even analyze it. I just like playing it. Its a fun record, highly listenable (just gotta skip Made In America) And I had NO expectations for it at all.
