mal noch der vollständigkeit halber, complex erhebt WTT auf platz 2 der besten alben von 2011: http://www.complex.com/music/2011/12/the-25-best-albums-of-2011#25
Talk about great expectations. When two titans of the rap game team up, the result could have easily become one of most overhyped releases in history. Instead Yeezy and Hov rose to the occasion with a record that was not just grandiose but also stacked up well with their best work ever track for track.
On "Otis," they brought that classic Ye and Jay, rocking out out over a soul sample. On "Murder To Excellence" they made one of the most accomplished black power anthems in years. And "Niggas In Paris" was quite simply the most undeniable album of the year (even if they did insist on performing it 9 or 10 times a night!)
Musically and sonically, Kanye ran point, putting his touch every little thing after picking up some dope beats from legends like Pete Rock and RZA as well as newcomers like Lex Luger and Hit-Boy. Meanwhile, a reinvigorated Jigga spit some of his most potent bars in years on cuts like "No Church In The Wild," "Welcome To The Jungle," and "Why I Love You." The resulting album was not just an exercise in opulence and decadence—it was also a celebration of black excellence

At a time when economic disparity seems to bisect every cultural and political paradigm, the least sensitive thing you could possibly do-- aside from declare pizza a vegetable-- would be to release a record that often reads like a Kardashian sister's letter to Santa tucked into a gold-embossed Riccardo Tisci envelope. But remember, we're dealing with two professionals here, both smart enough to know that rap as reality is as important as rap as escapism. Watch the Throne may have felt wretchedly excessive at times, but as anyone who can attest to getting down to "Niggas in Paris" seven or eight or nine (or ten!) times in a row can tell you, it's sure fun to play dress-up to. Maybe there was something in the more relatable elements presented here-- ruminations on the price of fame, fatherhood, and race-- that lead us to take momentary respite from this embarrassment of riches and try to grasp the bigger picture. Maybe not: For these guys, overblown excess is a rewarding means unto itself. --Zach Kelly
