#1 - Saigon - The Greatest Story Never Told
It was the second season of HBO’s hit show Entourage and the writers had cooked up a storyline that demanded Turtle, the crew’s amiable but always ineffective sidekick, to become the manager of an aspiring rapper. But who... Read Full Review
#2 - Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Thousand of words have already been written in hopes of solving the human Rubik’s Cube that is Kanye West. Why? Why does the most influential artist of our generation so routinely devolve into juvenile... Read Full Review
#3 - Raekwon - Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang
I just spent the last hour searching for the perfect analogy to describe Raekwon’s place in the game, and I failed. There just may not be another rapper quite like him. For 16 or 18 years, depending on whether you start... Read Full Review
#4 - Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday
Hip-hop has never been more Republican. The game’s always fueled intense debate – who’s better, LL Cool J or Canibus? Who’s hotter, Lil Kim or Foxy Brown? Whose man boobs are bigger, Rick Ross or Fat Joe? - but in... Read Full Review
#5 - Marsha Ambrosius - Late Nights & Early Mornings

#7 - King Mez x Khrysis - The King’s Khrysis
There was a time when New York City ruled hip-hop. And then rap manifest destiny spread the locus of hip-hop’s power westward, where L.A. assumed the mantle. Years later both coasts would give way to Atlanta and Chicago as... Read Full Review
#8 - Game - Purp & Patron
Since Game dropped his solid album LAX nearly three years ago things have been a little dicey for the Compton emcee. Despite intoning that LAX would be his last album it took him approximately 17 seconds to start working on a... Read Full Review
#9 - Joell Ortiz - Free Agent
I’m an OG in the hip-hop album review game. Believe it or not, my first review for the Booth was a full four years ago, when I called Sean Price’s Jesus Price Supastar the most ignorant album of 2007. In the days since... Read Full Review
#10 - R. Kelly - Love Letter
R. Kelly is more than an artist, he’s a writer’s dream. Now that Michael has passed, he’s the most fascinating man in music, an artist whose overwhelming talent has created a bubble around him in which the rules of... Read Full Review
