"I really love hip hop and I thought if I had to pick one album it'd have to be the first Wu-Tang album just for the personalities, and the real rawness and lo-fi urgency about it. I love the audacity of having an interview with the band in the middle of the record. It's something that I think independent music scene should start doing… in the middle of the next Pastels album, like, Stephen and Katrina start talking about how good they are. I need to make it so. I don't think I really got properly into hip hop until the last five years. Something suddenly clicked where it really made sense. These days I like Danny Brown and A$AP Rocky, things like that."

Once everything is taken into consideration, it’s safe to say that Twenty One Pilots have officially crafted their breakthrough record. Although they may not have invented the concept of fusing rock and hip-hop, it’s a refreshing change

Rolling Stone's 123rd greatest album of all time
Brilliant early hip hop album. The music, drum beats and sampling is a little more basic compared to the likes of Erik B and Rakim, NWA and Public Enemy. Features It's Tricky and Walk This Way as well as lesser known hits like Peter Piper and You Be Illin.

Rolling Stone's 459th greatest album of all time (2020)
While this hip hop is a lot better and more listenable than a lot of the more aggressive examples, there wasn't quite as much substance or character as the likes of Eminem or Kanye. It just felt like there was something missing for quite a lot of it.

Rolling Stone's 252nd greatest album of all time
Decent hip hop album, though a fair amount of filler in my mind. "Izzo (HOVA)" was by far the best track on the album. I find it annoying that every single song includes the record label "Roc-a-fella" for no apparent reason, like some odd trademark or copyright watermark.
