HipHopWired Reports
While people are still wondering, where are you Yeezy? Kanye West is seeing his name brought back into the limelight, this time for more positive reasons. While Kanye's been somewhat quiet on the music scene he's seeing the countless hours of studio time and production for his debut project paying off.
Kanye has been deemed as the man with the #1 album of the last ten years. According to Entertainment Weekly, Kanye's College Dropout is a classic, so much so that it's worthy of the title of 'top album of the decade.'
The list of ‘Top Albums of the Decade' from the entertainment wire hit the net today and already has the internet abuzz with debate.
Following behind Yeezy on the list is his mentor/ friend/ Roc Nation President, Jay-Z.
Jigga came in at #2 on the list with the very first installment of his Blueprint trilogy, 2001's The Blueprint. Other notables are Big Boi and Andre 3000 of the legendary team OutKast, whose Stankonia album landed at #4.
Entertainment Weekly's List of ‘Top Ten Albums of The Decade' is below:1. The College Dropout, Kanye West (2004)
2. The Blueprint, Jay-Z (2001)
3. Kid A, Radiohead (2000)
4. Stankonia, OutKast (2000)
5. Love And Theft, Bob Dylan (2001)
6. Home, The Dixie Chicks (2002)
7. Funeral, The Arcade Fire (2004)
8. I Am… Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé (2008)
9. FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake, (2006)
10. You Are Free, Cat Power (2003)
Ehhhh this list is a little shaky. For one, that god awful I Am Sasha Fierce is on here, so that immediately shows that something's wrong.
Here's my question though, how'd College Dropout beat Stankonia? I mean it was a solid debut but still…
Oh and where's Eminem? He's outsold just about everyone on this list. I'm just sayin…..

sure, it was hard making this list because it was a shitty decade for music, but Kanye as #1? Please...
it was pretty good album, but the best of decade?!?! 50 deserved to be on this list, and so did The Game (Documentary), Ice Cube (his latest), Metalica (Death Magnetic)... not to mention underground
