I was kind of thinking lyrically but I do also think those albums have great production as well (which isn't one of Kanyes faults tbh). I wasn't aware that going hard qualified for substantiality but I've only been listening to hip hop for coming up on three or four years now so I'll keep that in mind.

LOL @ the noise comment. I listen to Metal Machine Music hungover, I might be a little desensitized. Plus it's not like the beats on Yeezus sound anything like what El would do...
