MCA’s swan song (recorded before his cancer diagnosis, released posthumously). At 320, it’s crisp, weird, and joyful. "Make Some Noise" has a synth bass that wobbles like gelatin. "Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win" (feat. Santigold) is a pop gem. The production is clean, almost too clean compared to Paul’s Boutique, but the lyrics are vintage: absurdist, literate, and aging gracefully. The final track, "The Lisa Lisa / Full Force Routine," ends not with a bang but a skit—a shrug, a laugh, a door closing. | Year | Title | Tracks | Availability
