Hip Hop

What is yall most prized record in your collection.
Just 1 lol.
Since this is hip-hop thread....El-p Fantastic Damage that is signed and still in shrink w/ hype sticker and well-preserved, as I've taken good care of it. Also, that album was really important to me (Def Jux in general) when it came out and I was a young adult.

But I have non-hip hop albums I prize more than that one.
 
For a hip hop album, it might be Supreme Blientele. In the 90s I was heavy into hip hop and going to Phish shows. While I always still loved rap music, at some point I lost my taste for it and got heavy into the noise music that was coming out of NYC in the late 2000s.

Supreme Blientele not only had me fall in love with Griselda but opened my ear back up to a lot of underground hip hop. All of my John Prine and John Hartford records are probably my most sentimental part of my collection because they remind me of my childhood but Supreme Blientele is probably most impactful to my current taste.

WSG - Hitler Wears Hermès 1.

My first Griselda and first Daupe purchase. While not my favorite release, it’s the one that really got me into Griselda and it’s associates and set me on a path of collecting this new wave of hip hop on vinyl. It was really tough to narrow it down to that one, though.
