Hip Hop

Just got back from The Armand Hammer show a bit ago. Definitely mixed emotions on the experience. The show itself was great. Kenny Segal opened with a dope intro beat set and then Armand Hammer took the stage. They had good energy and the crowd was vibing with them. I can see how a show with them and a DJ like Alchemist would be better, as they brought Kenny out to do a few songs in the end and it was just a better experience. Elucid seemed a lot more comfortable just performing and not having to fiddle with the music tracks. Overall they were great and ran through a bunch of tracks including some new stuff (no Peppertree though, which was irritating). Once the show ended, the shitshow began.

The merch situation was a joke. Woods announced that they only had 30 mins to sell merch, so they cut the show after like 45 mins. Why didn’t they sell merch before the set then, I wondered? Anyway, he announced that they had the white label vinyl and some leftover ALC editions of Haram. So, of course there was a ridiculous crush of people to buy the vinyl. They had a box of the white labels and were allowing multiple purchases, so I figured they had a grip of them. Wrong.

After maybe 15-20 people go through, they announce that the white label vinyl was sold out. I swear they must’ve only pressed like 40-50 of them, so why allow multiple purchases? I’m not sure if they’re holding some back for each show, or if they ran through the whole pressing in 20 mins at the first show. They had to know how popular this release would be. They could’ve sold 200 tonight, easily. Surely they pressed more than like 50 of these things for the whole tour.

Add to that, when I got back to my car, I found someone had broken into a few cars in the lot, mine included. So, no vinyl and now I have to replace my passenger window. Maybe I should’ve gone to the other show after all. Lol. SMH.

Damn, sorry to hear about your crummy experience and your car.

They said they would have 300 for the US leg of the tour, so maybe they decided to try to spread them out to last more locations.

Call me crazy but there's still something special and a little 'cool' to having a bootleg album every now and then lol.

This is hip hop, dammit. Raw, gritty, hip-hop. Bootlegs are apart of the culture too 😄


At least that's what I tell myself.

Some of my most prized slabs are bootlegs of old Roots performances and B-sides, I'm with it!

I forgot about this during the craziness during my daughter's birthday party but luckily quantity is high enough I snagged an alt cover tri splatter anyway. Just not the obi but that's fine
 
I've seen both 7" and 12" listings of the Gibbs singles and seen three different covers (Getondown)... Can anyone explain/clear this up for me? What actually exists? Discogs wasn't helpful
