Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

Ok, but, OutKast, Mobb Deep, Gang Starr, Mos Def, GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface, The Roots, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Pharcyde, Organized Confusion, etc. I could keep going.

Agree with others that it is a dumb promo thing clearly, so yeah, not bothered, just calling it as I see it.

ok yeah im surprised mobb deep and outkast didn't make it, same with GZA

i dont disagree with people calling camp lo one of the best of the 90s, as well as UGK (thats already reach classic element), and you gotta have quest and wu tang, but then if it was all classics we could only have one female rapper with lauryn hill, i guess thats more a thing of the 90s hip hop being kinda boys club
 
How did Storf mostly use numbers in clues? Do they refer to the year (2016 in this case) or a track 6 having to do with 6 (so @NewsFedora may be right with Section 80) or stuff on the cover, for instance 6 guys on the cover?
I know he used number clues beforehand.

Its been everything from people on the cover to tracks on albums to number of release in their catalog. Your guess is as good as mine.

I hope VMP never even thinks about doing an exclusive of this album! Can’t imagine them pressing it but they did J.Lo exclusives so who knows! But J.Lo’s first two albums as exclusives makes way more sense than Diddy Dirty Money’s Last Train To Paris!

I think the sound of the album sounds really outdated unfortunately. The production especially sounds outdated! The vocals on many of the features are weak in my opinion. And I cannot STAND that “Coming Home” song! I’m previewing the album and I’m actually realising how weak this album is vocally. Just a massive NO for me on this one unfortunately! Sorry! 🐒🙅‍♂️

The Cole reference track of Coming Home is miles better and the only version I recognize

That's Ok I forgive you 😂 it holds nostalgic value for me also I listened to it all the time when my daughter was born and it hasn't been pressed I would like a copy. It's more loved than people realise too. Diddy himself is proud of it he posted in recent times about it plus its the one Diddy I album I need on vinyl as I'm a completionist. After today I need Jigga to release 4:44 too to complete his albums on vinyl 😭

Press Play has some really great songs I reckon! “Last Night” featuring Keyshia Cole is such a classic club banger! Even “Come to Me” is also a great club banger! The Neptunes production on that last track with Jamie Foxx is exquisite and delicious and the Timbaland production and sentimental vocals and lyrics from Keri Hilson on the song “After Love” is amazing too! “Special Feeling” is such a quirky song that has that Prince nostalgic percussion which is great! Diddy’s performance on that track really works! 🔥🔥🔥

But yeah, the production overall on Press Play was pretty great! A lot of it still holds up 👍

I threw this is in the reddit thread, but here's my go at some wild conjecture:

Albert King has 10 letter in his name
He was born in April, which is the 4th month.
He died on the 21st day of December.

Not sure how that works for Rap & Hip Hop, but if the artist is still alive it explains why there's no third number for that one.

The mono version of Born Under a Bad Sign looks to only have 2 official releases, both going for a good chunk of change.

And it looks like the last press of Jammed Together by Albert King was in 1990. So, long enough ago for VMP to be interested in doing one. Though, I don't know how any of them sound, so not sure if there already is a definitive repress of it.

This is a pretty solid guess, which leads to the question... does RHH follow the same guidelines?

If so, then what the clue means is there are six letters in the artist's name, and he/she was born in June (and is not dead).

That'd obviously disqualify Section 80 which let's be honest, is pretty much wishful thinking anyways. But six letters and June birthdate... too bad Pusha T was born in May, not June.

I started to try going down the Wikipedia list but the list of rappers with 6 letters born in June seems like a needle in a haystack lol
