Born Sinner is the most derivative album I've ever heard. It's a smooth listen for sure, but it's too unoriginal to qualify as good. Calling Born Sinner the best album of 2013 is saying you hate rap in 2013 and want it to sound like rap from 2003.
Mr. J has it right. Among more traditional rap albums, I'd highlight The Night's Gambit by Ka and Acid Rap by Chance The Rapper. Earl Sweatshirt's Doris, Drake's Nothing Was the Same and Pusha T's My Name Is My Name top my list of mainstream rap.
