One minute he's dictating a shopping list while snorting cocaine; the next, he finds the necklace Rose dropped at the end of "Titanic" as a mermaid takes him on a tour of a supernatural Muslim paradise at the bottom of the ocean. He doesn't watch TV, he watches "Larry King Live." He doesn't want an ice tea; he wants Cranberry Snapple, thank you.Ghostface Killah Supreme ClienteleGirl Talk Feed the AnimalsGreen Day DookieGZA Liquid SwordsHarry Nilsson Nilsson SchmilssonHowlin Wolf Moanin' in the MoonlightIce Cube AmeriKKKa's Most WantedIce-T O.G.

Straight Outta ComptonNas IllmaticThe greatest album I've ever heard, "Illmatic" succeeds not by its technical perfection, but by the way its technical perfection allows Nas' vision to focus. Nas is not a protagonist, but a voyeur and his keen powers of observation capture a place and time with photographic precision. A time capsule inimitable precisely because of its specificity, the view from Nas' project window is breathtaking whether or not you know what a buck fifty cut is.Nick Drake Pink MoonNick Drake Five Leaves LeftNick Drake Bryter LayterNirvana NevermindOutKast ATLiensParliament Mothership ConnectionIf the songs seem too long, you're just not dancing hard enough.Paul McCartney RamPaul Simon GracelandPaul Simon So Beautiful or So WhatPhil Ochs Greatest HitsPrince Purple RainPrince Sign o' the TimesPublic Enemy It Takes A Nation (...)

("I just want you all to notice me and for people to see / That somewhere deep down there's a decent human being in me / It just can't be found, the reason you've been seeing this me / Cuz this is me now, the recent dude who's being this mean.")Fleet Foxes Fleet FoxesGhostface Killah More FishThere are a lot of guests, and Ghost doesn't even show up for some of the songs. But still the album features his best song, "Alex (Stolen Script)". That these songs weren't good enough to make Fishscale proper just proves what a masterwork that album was. ("The motherfucker spoke Spanish.")Ghostface Killah The Pretty Toney AlbumDebuting on Def Jam, Ghostface (temporarily dropping the "Killah" for the sake of mainstream acceptance), was looking to move units. But he is just too weird to cash in even when he tries to. Polished as it is, the record is still a grimy, heady, pleasure.Ghostface Killah Bulletproof WalletsGhostface Killah Apollo KidsIce Cube The PredatorIce Cube Laugh Now, Cry LaterJay-Z UnpluggedJay takes the intimate, stripped down environment as a chance to prove that he does in fact have a soul. He may have backed out of his original "no singles" concept, but The Roots manage to make even the big records sound reserved. And there's nothing funnier than playing an excerpt of "NY State of Mind" under "Takeover." ("Welcome to Jay-Z's poetry reading.")John Lennon Double FantasyKanye West GraduationSome great pop songs, some good bars, a raw confession of brotherly love. But Kanye shows his hand too much in admitting he's rhyming over a beat Common rejected, not to mention the mixtape homage repurposed for Coldplay fans. For the first time, he has an aesthetic but not a vision.Kanye West 808s and HeartbreakKanye West YeezusBorrowing liberally from drill and Death Grips, the music is perfectly timed. But from the tone deaf Parkinson's joke to the easily fixed Trojans/Romans mix up to the occasionally racist misogyny to the ill advised line about wanting an abortion right after his daughter was born, there's a tangible disappointment in getting to the end only to realize the best lyric was a joke about his Benz.Lady Gaga The Cherrytree SessionsLady Gaga The Fame MonsterLana Del Rey Born to DieThe "I," "me," "you" songs are convincing and consistent but she's tripped up by "us" and "we." Which makes her a metaphor for a generation even if she's not its voice.

Writing to fill space, he declares he'll never "fall off and rap about my clothes and chain" before proceeding to do just that. "Suicide Note," however, is a career highlight that somehow finds a new angle on an old obsession by positioning suicide survivor Face as witness rather than trigger puller.

Sincere, if mediocre.2.0 poorDr. Dre The ChronicFlat production that at best aspires to efficiently copy Parliament.

"Picture" is good for a Kid Rock song, bad for a Sheryl Crow song.Lady Gaga ArtpopIn a classic case of Eminem Syndrome, Gaga begins with the faulty premise that someone gives a shit and proceeds to argue her way into irrelevancy. Ironically, "Applause" is both the worst example of this and the only song here that holds up alongside her best work.Lupe Fiasco The CoolN.W.A.
