Kanye West has TIME on his side.

This is the kind of pun I would only expect Kanye to open up a paragraph praising himself with.

You know I love you Almost, but are you Kanye?

I'm somewhat shocked recovery is not on here, kind of seems odd

[ThomasJ]

Yeezy is unstoppable!!!

[stillmatic]

it astounds me to think these people sometimes get it so right and include songs like Janalle Monae's and Cee Lo's and include albums like Raekwon's OB4CL2 (last year) and then get it so wrong and include unimaginative and unoringinal garbage like Drake's album and song 'Find your love" in their lists.

You guys, it's logical Kanye West is on this list and Eminem is not. Eminem made a good album, but it's strictly hip-hop. Kanye West made a great album as well. He didn't really make one genre though. The album got hip-hop fans listening to piano's and violins and the people who are not into hip-hop can love it as well. It's a perfect mixture of genres and very original.

Wouldn't it be funny say, Recovery wins AOTY at the Grammys yet it's missing from all these 'Best Albums' lists... The irony

[slimsoxshady]

no homo but Drake's dick must be pretty big right now with all these album of the year placements

[EM1973]

Eminem with Recovery nominated for 10 Grammys and his album isn't even at the Top-10????Shocked!
Critics continue to hate Eminem......
But Fans all over the world prove them that Eminem is the Greatest MC ever.
I'm start to thinking that MBDTF is overrated.Kanye has better albums than this.

[xxTrigger1989xx]

Drake's honestly on that list, but not Recovery?

What the fuck is up with the Recovery hate from these magazines? Thank Me Later didn't even get AS GOOD reviews as Recovery did, AND Recovery sold WAY more. So it's a better album and it sold better. And yet, Recovery's excluded? When Recovery gets Album of the Year, I will
