One the list, which is titled, ‘The 21 Albums from the 21st Century Every Man Should Hear’, Kanye West, who is also on this month’s cover, took claim to of the top spot. Of course everyone has their personal preferences but the mag seemingly gave Ye the spot also because of his cultural impact since he first came onto the scene in 2004.

It could’ve been any one of the seven albums West released this century, as fascinating a catalog of celebrity, triumph, love, loss, terrible puns, pretty decent puns, that was ever fucking put together by a single artist,” GQ says. “MBDTF was just the record where he talked about all those things at once—a portrait of a man seizing the spotlight, drowning in it, and then somehow finding a way to turn that harrowing experience into art. Anybody who wants to be famous or make music for a living—or do both at the same time—should be forced to listen to MBDTF first. The rest of us are free to enjoy it for the bloody, hard-won, titanic achievement that it is.

Another score for Hip-Hop culture. Should also be noted that OutKast came in at number 3 with Stankonia.
