Last year, G.O.O.D. Music’s Pusha T talked to SOHH about Ye’s new album receiving a rare, perfect rating from XXL Magazine.

“Kanye is well-deserving of an XXL rating, whether he got it or not,” Pusha told SOHH. “Rapping? People aren’t f*cking with him rapping. Musically? People aren’t f*cking with him. This is like he’s pushing the bar. He’s doing all of this awesome sh*t and at the same time he’s keeping [a straight] face about it. That within itself says ‘I win.’ He wins, with the XXL rating and all of that, he wins.” (SOHH)

Former Fugees frontman Wyclef Jean also recently named Kanye West’s comeback his personal favorite of 2010.

“My favorite album of 2010,” Clef said. “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Kanye West. I feel like that album represents completion as a whole.” (Billboard)

Based on last week’s reports, Ye’s new LP has sold over 915,000 physical records.
