Hip Hop

For the Spitta / Jet Life fans (@The_Stoned_Ape):

Just got a notification from the Pusha T store that they are unable to fill the vinyl orders for his new single with Lauryn Hill. Really bummed because I was definitely looking forward to having it on wax.

Absolutely gonna cop that Yacht Rock 2 on Friday.
 

^ If you dont have this yet then grab it!

I have the RSD pressing but I still want this.
 
I really wish Get on Down didn’t get all of these great reissues. I’m not overly anal with vinyl and accept minor issues but any time I’ve had really bad issues with them, their CS has been the biggest pain in the ass I’ve dealt with

Exactly this ☝.

Many of these are albums that are loved and highly valued by people that care about hip hop. It's fantastic to be able to purchase them now and not have to pay ridiculous mark-ups on rare originals, but I have a couple of albums by them and they are average to not good pressings, they are often noisy even after cleaning, and they are almost always warped to some degree. To be fair the last one isn't unique to G.o.D.

I'd like to be able to spend my $ on something that I won't sit there while listening to it and be like "is this experience better or worse than listening on my laptop?"

I just wish they put some more care into these albums and didn't dismiss legit complaints about their quality.
