In an interview with the Associated Press, outspoken drummer ?uestlove gave his top five albums of 2011. Although I don't quite agree with the entire list, it's nice to get insight from ?uesltlove on the subject matter. He cites Jay-Z and Kanye West, The Weekend, Adele, Wyatt Cynac and the Lonely Island as having the strongest albums of the year. When speaking on the lauded and highly debated album Watch the Throne, ?uestlove gave an unflinching response to many who question the album's merits. "Watch the Throne is one of those records, I told people ‘You’ll be back in a month and a half.'" He also notes that the Lonely Island's album is a 2011 reincarnation of the Beastie Boys' classic Licence to Ill. To hear the interview in full, check the video below.
