No, I meant have that PE album on vinyl but it's one disc. To be spread over two LPs, they'd have to go to 45rpm, IMO.

I actually forgot about that and I still need it. At the same time VMP dont seem to care about that. There is a million variants of Slowthai. The main selling point for this new version is "First US Release"That already got a big release this year on vinyl.

100% !!!
And I don’t understand this clue that gave us! If Storf declares this album to be one of, if not the most, important album in rap history........THEN WHY ISN’T IT AN ESSENTIALS ROTM?!?!?!?!

That's actually a great point Nathan & one that reinforces the idea that it will not be one of the obvious heavy hitters we are all thinking of. If Da Brat wasn't done last month I'd call for this because that's how storf thinks lol

Great need to see this AOTM getting restraint and a lack of hyperbole and I’m sure everyone will be glad to add the most important rap a album of all time to their collections. A bit disappointing for anyone who bought ‘He’s The DJ, I’m The Rapper’ from the store a few months ago.

Exactly! “It will not be one of the obvious heavy hitters we are all thinking of”. Amen to that!
I can imagine the R&HH ROTM being Rakim & Eric B’s “Paid In Full”! It’s been recently reissued and I can just imagine VMP doing a nice colour variant of it! Also, I can definitely imagine Slick Rick’s “The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick” being the R&HH ROTM too!
But if we aren’t getting something as obvious or any certified classics like Dr Dre’s The Chronic, Public Enemy’s It Takes A Nation Of Millions, NaS’ Illmatic, Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders, N.W.A.’s Straight Outta Compton etc, then what are we actually going to get
I want a high quality reissue of Dr. Dre’s The Chronic 2001 !

By most important they could mean proto rap influences like Gil Scott Heron or The Last Poets. Or The Message. Or Rapture by Blondie. Or the Biz Marke record that pissed off Gilbert O’Sullivan and prevented samples being used in the same way. Or Christmas Rapping by The Waitresses. Or Original Rapper by Lou Reed.

Chronic 2001 is getting an unedited reissue. Also releasing an instrumental version. Paid In Full recently reissued and plenty of ‘green’ colour variants. Because of money. See what they all did.
That wouldn’t stop VMP releasing a gold version. Because of money. Or silver. Or just doing green like everyone else. Follow The Leader is a better album in my opinion, I have it but would like them to give it more exposure

It’s not Essentials because it’s an album that’s widely in print. Unlike Aretha Franklin.

Man I would kill for a high quality VMP press of Chronic 2001 it's my favourite album of all time. I dont see storf rating it as "Important" I probably dont either its not the best album just my personal favourite for a bunch of reasonsExactly! “It will not be one of the obvious heavy hitters we are all thinking of”.

It’s It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back by Public Enemy. Most important, influential, astonishing album by greatest act in Hip Hop. Fear Of A Black Planet could be argued as just as good but Nation set the scene, raised the bar and can never be followed due to changes in sampling rights etc. Articulate and intelligent Chuck with the greatest hype man ever providing relief, they are Ying and Yang. Flavor is the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down. As a white male it opened my eyes to black consciousness and struggle, as a minority in a religiously divided country it showed me the importance of education over violence. Totally revolutionary stage show with the S1Ws, revolutionary soundscapes - almost musique concrete mixed with no wave dissonance but blaring and funky, thanks Bomb Squad. Which rap album is more important?

Don't pretend you never heard the GRAMMY Award Winning Rap Album of the Year, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - The Heist.

Noted. I retract all my previous comments
Ugh that album was absolutely everywhere for me when I was like a sophomore in college. My roommate played it nonstop too. It honestly has a couple fine tracks on it but how it won rap album of the year over Kendrick or Yeezus is beyond words.
