Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

Awesome 🔥🔥🔥 I take it these are just front cover variant designs and not full comics designed like this? Be awesome if Marvel did the hip hop album variants again even just design not releasing them

I think they have now done at least 2 series of hip-hop Variants. You can buy books of the collected covers of each, they are pretty great.

Yesterday I started doing a complete listen through of the whole RHH sub in order since I feel like as time passes the early ones get pulled less and less.
I forgot just how good Common's 'Electric Circus' was, and remember that being one of those "lesser albums of a popular artist" picks.

IMO Electric Circus is one of Common's top 3 albums. It was definitely outside of what he had been known for but it is amazing.

Definitely one of Commons best albums. The problem with this album is that it was far too ahead of its time on release and a lot people including myself didn't get it. I think its from 2002? So a 17 year old me definitely wasn't grasping it. It was years later I learned to appreciate it. I think Questlove mentioned it recently and said Phrenology suffered from the exact same issue which I know was 2002 for that album

Yeah, Agreed. Production on this and Phrenology were amazing and for albums so long ago don't sound dated at all. Really ahead of their time.

I think it was actually the first Common album I listened to and LOVED it when I was in high school. Then I listened to Be which I also loved but couldn't have been any more different. I was really amped when Electric Circus was announced as a RHH selection. It's such a weird and out there "rap" album and I know a lot of people kind of disliked it when it was first announced.

I actually think it was the first album I picked up from the R&HH sub because I missed out on no name and this was released sometime near that one if I'm correct. Missed out on a couple of picks back then. Madlib too

Yep--Common was the 2nd title ever after Noname. I was on top of Noname. As soon as that shit went live I pounced haha I luckily got both Madlibs and Saba too. I'm only missing a few of the early ones by choice. I checked out mostly after Saba except for Outkast and Hud Dreems. Nothing that really was a must own for me after that.

420 All Stars was not too expensive on discogs for awhile. After the initial crazy prices, it settled into around $30 each and only recently jumped back up to $70 or so but hasn't sold at that price in a long time.

There are a few for $50 or best offer on ebay right now. Could maybe get it for $40 plus shipping...

As for Badu, I think it's the same masters as your regular copy. I think I got mine from the PIF thread. It sounds alright (not amazing...mine has some surface noise on it that I can't seem to get rid of).
