Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

The ASIN for that Amazon listing appears to be the black pressing released earlier in the year. Bit sneaky, but technically VMP are the only US pressing.

Is that infallible? The barcode appears to be the same as well, but it wouldn't be the first time that different pressings or variants have the same barcode. Does Caroline Distribution just import and sell EU copies with a new release date? Or would they facilitate their own press?

It wasn't pressed at QRP
This is from what I know the only version from QRP

and it's weird that they aren't just giving up Gz as they did a video worshipping their pressing as qrp

QRP couldn’t hit the deadline for Cecilia & Johnny and fucked up the edge trimming. AFAIK GZ hasn’t done that to them, and I’ll bet it’s cheaper to use GZ especially at a large scale. Still GZ isn’t a vendor at all this month. Pallas for Essentials QRP for classics and RHH.

I won't be sure until someone checks the dead wax of the Caroline Dist. version that has pre-orders up. I don't trust the barcode as proving the pressing is the same, but it may be the MPO press as well, hard to be certain without proof.

Don’t like TI eh? I do wish the album was way shorter...those albums of that time were quantity over quality

I still enjoyed the pick. But it’s a 6.5/10 kinda pick! Still, “Why You Wanna” is one of my favourite summer jams!

But yeah, that’s exactly why T.I.’s “KING” came last; because there were too many filler tracks overall! The album starts strong, but amongst the last 6 tracks, there was only 1 track I remember really liking!
 
I don't have all of them, but will rank the ones I've listened to:

1. Juvenile
2. OutKast
3. T.I.
4. Method Man (missed because I wasn't subscribed that month, but have had the album digitally for 15 years)
5. The Roots
6. Slowthai
7. Ivy Sole
8. HBMS
9. Camp Lo

I haven't listened to Knxwledge or Da Brat in full, so I can't rank them but neither pick excited me enough to search them out.

I'd say there's a decent break between 3/4 and 7/8 (I skipped HBMS and Camp Lo).

We will be getting a new release/a first time on vinyl release for the December Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM! Storf said a few months ago that we will at least get a ‘first time on vinyl’ R&HH ROTM by the end of the year/next three months!

I really hope it isn’t DaBaby’s Baby on Baby! Hoping we still get Playboi Carti’s Die Lit or Megan Thee Stallion’s Fever! 🤞🤞🤞

I passed on the rest, but still keep thinking about The Roots...

Also, how did they not make either of the Freddie Gibbs/Madlib releases an ROTM?!?!? Sorry, but replacing Hud Dreams with Pinata would take this year to a whole other level!

I really wish they did that with Gibbs. I might have been able to rationalize resubscribing for the month and then grabbing the other exclusive. But having to buy the ROTM and then both of the Gibbs was too much for me
