Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

[dhodo]

Don't forget that this is the guy that called How I Got Over a modern classic.

And just to put the final nail in the coffin, Storf officially ruled out Nas.


Edit - I chuckled at this comment in the Reddit thread because I had been thinking the same thing:

Hint from Storf:

RHH is one of the most important rap albums of all time...maybe THE most important rap album of all time.

Fear of a Black Planet? The Chronic? Ice Cube's debut? Jay Z?

All Eyez on Me is 4 discs, not happenin

I'm expecting a cornerstone like Road to the Riches, Raising Hell, Paid in Full

The fact storf said "Rap" instead of Hiphop is actually interesting. I think maybe The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick, that was the first and probably most significant narrative album (rap as opposed to just hiphop) it inspired Illmatic

beastie boys - Licensed to Ill

The lack of Big Willie Style in this discussion is honestly frightening.

He later replied that he pretty much uses the two terms interchangeably lol fml

Mind games. We're definitely getting Dem Franchize Boyz debut album

I have it already but a really nice remastered version that's 45rpm would be lovely.

 

[wmeugene]

Illmatic can F*** Off! Nas even said recently he wont put it up with it anymore it's over for him. It's done to death

Oh its certainly been done to death. It's one of the greatest albums of all time, but it is in overkill territory.

I would still give generous amounts of money for a 2 x LP press or proper remaster of this

Mmmmmmm same! Illmatic is absolutely heaven! It’s priceless and it’s just a magical album! It’s life-changing! It’s home! It’s comforting! There’s a reason why Illmatic is the most loved hip-hop album of all time!

Looks like it's our time to shine, @NathanRicaud

I really hope VMP exclusively press this in the future! But not for this Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM! I’m expecting something magical for this R&HH ROTM and would be underwhelmed if this was the pick. I’m expecting an 80’s or 90’s certified classic!

inb4 they are overhyping this way too much
