Fish Fury.
It snowed a little today, so let's do this. These are some no-brainer picks for best Coke Rap records of the year, the ones that (ahem) cracked the top 10 of '06 lists in every publication in the universe (well, maybe not every publication). But that's only because they were seriously great in a field that gets more baffling every year. Ghostface's Fishscale was my favorite on the grounds that he is fucking hilarious and raps like no other human on Earth. Two words from him--"banana nutrament", "metal lungees", "tits project", etc.--trump most rappers' entire careers. Listen to him say, "I'm ready to fuck Catwoman or something", among other nuggets:

Ghostface feat. Raekwon - "Kilo" (from Fishscale)
Ghostface - "Underwater" (from Fishscale)

Clipse weren't exactly slouching either, and came through with a sophomore effort that hit as hard or harder than the unquestionably great mix-tape shit they've been dropping for the last couple years. I only deducted points from them for throwing some major duds on Hell Hath, which ironically were (I think) two of the songs released as singles ("Wamp Wamp" and "Trill"). The remaining songs will have you bouncin' and looking at the drug trade as something really fun to hear about--because it is really fun to hear about, and Pusha T. and Malice are the most engaging MCs in the game right now. Pharrell and Chad kind of nailed it on this record, too.

Clipse - "Dirty Money" (from Hell Hath No Fury)
Clipse - "Hello New World" (from Hell Hath No Fury)
DJ Benzi & Evil Empire - "You'll See (Dainjah Remix)" (from We Got The Remix)
