Kanye West, Yeezus - Kanye West has been throwing a very public tantrum all year, and it's the best thing that's happened for his career. He's no longer hiding behind his master ability to create timeless hip hop tracks, instead, he went against all traditional corporate processes with Yeezus — no cover art, radio singles or polite interviews with the media — and exposed that this "frustration" is something only the brave can understand ... and he did it with only 10 tracks.(Photo: Roc-a-Fella Records, GOOD Music, Def Jam, Roc Nation)

The Rundown: Lil Wayne, I Am Not a Human Being II - Everyone's been talking Lil Wayne — but unfortunately not because of his music. The rapper was in critical condition at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last week after suffering a series of seizures. His new album, I Am Not a Human Being II, a sequel to his 2010 LP of the same name, is coming out just a week and a half later. It's almost impossible not to look at this album through the lens of this incident, though it was recorded well beforehand. On top of his health issues, his recent work, while commercially successful as always, had many claiming his best work was behind him. With a new lease on life, is Lil Wayne's music headed to new planets or is he still stuck in orbit? Read on for our track-by-track review of I Am Not a Human Being II to find out. —Alex Gale (Photo: Young Money Records)
