Fly or Die 2LP

Fly or Die, N.E.R.D.’s follow-up to 2002’s In Search Of, juxtaposed hip-hop with rock influences but this time around, the group learned to play the instruments on each record in order to perform them live. With tracks like the Good Charlotte collaboration “Jump,” “She Wants To Move,” and...

Anyone know what shipping is running through this site? I think that red looks better, but if it's like $5 shipping I'll just wait for VMP's version. But anyone that isn't on the old grandfathered pricing, I'd jump all over this one.

Newbury me, please. There's nothing special about the RHH sub anymore.

I wish things were $5 shipping were I live. If somethings 13 I feel like I've robbed them lol

Yes to this. For as much crap people give USPS, they're cheap and relatively reliable and efficient. International shipping is super expensive for Americans, but the trade off is worth it for media mail.

J Dilla fans who aren’t as keen on Donuts... what are your favorite albums of his?

Ruff Draft. His raps on that are the stuff that other rappers should be studying.

Credit where credit is due: I really like this slowthai album, and I don't think I would've listened to it without VMP.

Dizzy Rascal is one of my only reference points for British hip-hop, so it clicked with me right away.

Now, about that NERD record... it might be the first RHH album that I pass on.

 

[BradwiseBeats]

I think the fact that there has been one post since Monday says all it needs to about the state of the RHH track. Its been really bad lately. This isn't to say the albums they have picked are bad albums, but they are not what a lot of us signed up for.

 

[roffle24]

I'm a big NERD/Pharrell fan and this selection is pretty underwhelming. I already have the red copy from UL/Udiscover which plays fine. It looks like this variant is going to be 45RPM, which would be cool, unless that's a mistake on the page that was up. Probably still a pass unless the vinyl itself looks crazy good. White and red doesn't sound too enticing considering the album artwork, though.

I'm sure this will sit in swaps for months, so anyone even mildly interested can probably wait.

Fly or Die

'Fly or Die,' the second album from the Neptunes' rock band N.E.R.D. is here on red and white vinyl. It's the Rap & Hip-Hop Record Of The Month for January 2020.

Here's what N.E.R.D. looks like if anyone cares

 

[Rahawk2]

It looks nice but I’ll never listen to it.

yeah same tbh. Not a great pick

But imagine E&A with this colorway

 

[duke86fan]

I love that crashprez (who basically it's in charge of R&HH can we agree on that) basically says "yeah this isn't that good but hey I like it"

I’M SO EXCITED FOR THIS ROTM!

The colour variant looks so pretty and sexy, and it’s 45RPM and it’s a pretty sexy album too!

I’m actually really keen to spin this ROTM! And I’m so happy “She Wants To Move” is at the start of Side B! That song has a Flamenco rhythm without the handclap! Such a fiery, sweaty, burst-full, sensual, yearning song! ️

It’s gonna be amazing playing this record on warm nights this summer !

That dude is so annoying to me. The riddle speak is just meh

He really just seems to use a lot of fancy school words but says absolutely nothing.

Exactly. Like he over compensates with his word play to come off as more intelligent just for intelligence sake its cringeworthy

 

[tonythegamer]

His description for the record told me nothing about why I should own this album. He hardly even describes the album itself
