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.
