92 hip hop is going to be Boogie Down Productions "Sex and Violence" their most essential record!!!
Honestly I'd love that over the Beastie Boys, I love the BB's but am happy with my current copy and would prefer they choose one of their later records which I think don't get enough shine!! Even one of their instrumental records would be a better choice than a record that just got a deluxe reissue!!

If it's title and not artist, only other one I can think of is EPMD, but I don't know how likely that is either.

Don't be angry @bdrummond - I still like you. But I can't very well rock a handle that is French for "with a Y" and not object!

Haha, for some reason I had been reading your name as aveci - grec. Which I don't think means anything in any language. Should have realized.Don't be angry @bdrummond - I still like you. But I can't very well rock a handle that is French for "with a Y" and not object!

Apparently they dropped a clue in their Discord channel stating that all of the “Essentials” begin with a “B”.

EPMD would be great but I could only see them being in RHH not essential...for the record they're essential in my book! It's also a really long book and I may not really know what essential means..

This is my guess too.
If it were RHH rather than Essentials I'd say Bishwick Bill, but I think even for VMP Bushwick Bill would be a stretch to justify in Essentials.

This could use a vinyl release. It had the cool version of root down with the apache instrumental

If they did Bushwick Bill for essentials (hell even for RHH) I would hope it's a massive favour to get a Rap-a-Lot anthology going!!! I'm honestly not sure the people at VMP know that any group other than UGK came out of Texas so I have my doubts!!

I checked for the same thing an would have bought that ep if it was on there.
But tge Tibetan Freedom Concert 2cd set had enough great music on it to warrsnt a vinyl (re)issue

Ooh, one more thing…
I picked up a copy of their RollingStone magazine cover for framing purposes (still haven’t hung it up yet though).

A large part of why I'd have a hard time believing Bushwick would be an Essentials pick!

Rap-a-Lot anthology would be super rad!

Incoming hot take
1. To the 5 boroughs
2. Check your head
3. I’ll communication (too much filler, best singles though)
4. Hello nasty
5. Haven’t listened to much else, so can’t rank them

This was initially how I felt in Junior High. My first exposure was”Sabotage” and was expecting much of the same and obviously that track was more of an outlier than anything else on the album and since I didn’t really listen to any instrumental music at the time I initially skipped over many of the non-singles (thanks, CD’s). As I got into high school and would cruise around my boring ass small town with my buddies smoking weed this album began to click and the instrumental stuff just helped solidify the album as a larger piece of work as opposed to a collection of singles.
