I'm pretty sure my copy is fine. I was impressed with mine if anything and spun it a few times but saying that I was keeping busy in the kitchen while having it playing, my daughter talks so much she is constantly interrupting too so if there is problems I didn't notice lol. I hope you get sorted
I didn't have it on super loud due to the time but I'm sorry to say it was an enjoyable listen. There was some slight crackle in parts on Side A but nothing that I'd consider of detriment to the listen, certainly nothing as you describe. Really hope that you get a decent one next time, real shit to have to keep fighting for something you can actually listen to.
That’s my plan as well! Kinda crazy that they pressed 1000 of those tbh. More than half left still, probably because it’s $40 when it can be had for half the price.
Monster making it to streaming has created some hope for me that it will be pressed, would buy that in a heartbeat
I don’t like “I Won” at all! “Benz Friends” just doesn’t sound right for me, it’s too overproduced. “Never Satisfied” is actually a pretty great track! It’s just short! I also don’t mind “Special” with Young Thug! The guitars on there are nice and moody, and Future’s spacious, somber tone is nice! It’s not a great track, but it’s pretty good!I won? Benz Friends? Never Satisfied? Cmon a little over dramatic no?

I dunno if anything is that straight forward or not with VMP. They might have just kept the standard cover to match in with the black vinyl perhaps? I hope anyway
Thats cool of course. Your entitled to your opinionI don’t like “I Won” at all! “Benz Friends” just doesn’t sound right for me, it’s too overproduced. “Never Satisfied” is actually a pretty great track! It’s just short!

Apart from Never Satisfied and Move That Dope, I don’t really vibe with anything on that album unfortunately.
I really like the whole of DS2 however!
i can't wait to get this on vinyl 
The variant looks great! I was impressed when I saw it!Thats cool of course. Your entitled to your opinion
For me VMP have pressed 3 albums I actually wanted NERD Ross & Future. Introduced me to an amazing album I wasn't familiar with Blackalicious and then pressed SNP which isn't a bad album but I personally don't care to own. I don't think NERD was the strongest of picks tbh but it was something I wanted. I would say for me it's been an above average half a year so far in the R&HH Sub i would rate it a 3.5./5From an artists’/band’s discography point of view, it’s disappointing that the last 3 Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM’s were Future, Rick Ross & Salt-N-Pepa! Like none of them have ‘great’ discographies in my opinion! Fortunately, VMP chose the best Salt-N-Pepa and Rick Ross ROTM! They’re both a 7/10 and both contain around 3-4 magnificent cuts, amongst some other “good” tracks and some dud/filler tracks. They chose a lower-tier Future album, and he already has an average discography in terms of quality. If the R&HH ROTM pick was DS2, it would have been a 9/10 pick! That album is a near classic in my opinion.
But yeah, just want to express that I’m actually disappointed in the Rap & Hip-Hop ROTM track so far this year. And the two great picks - Blackalicious and El-P - are both sold out! Whereas N*E*R*D, Rick Ross and Salt-N-Pepa are in stock, and will stay in stock for a long time I imagine. So yeah, 2020 isn’t looking that great in the R&HH track
I’m really hoping we get something amazing for July’s R&HH ROTM to make up for the underwhelming picks from April-June!
Of it was NERD’s “In Search Of....”, it would’ve been a 10/10 pick! But Fly Or Die is around a 7/10 pick!
Oh shit how did I forget el p I was counting 5 monthsOf it was NERD’s “In Search Of....”, it would’ve been a 10/10 pick! But Fly Or Die is around a 7/10 pick!
What did you think of El-P!?! That’s my favourite R&HH this year, along with Blackalicious!
and you mentioned it. I'm drinking right now so ill blame that el p is an excellent choice so yeah 4.5/6 for me. 4 solid months and an OK month is very good but again thats for me
For me, this is how I’d rank them so far, taking into consideration the sound quality, and music, and the colour variant! I really like all the colour variants so far!Oh shit how did I forget el p I was counting 5 months
I would say then judging by this its been more successful than you think. Future is your only real let down. That's not bad at allFor me, this is how I’d rank them so far, taking into consideration the sound quality, and music, and the colour variant! I really like all the colour variants so far!
NERD - 7.5/10 (music 6.5/10, sound quality 9/10)
El-P - 10/10
Blackalicious - 10/10
Rick Ross - 7.5/10 (music 7/10, sound quality 8/10)
Should be receiving Salt-N-Pepa next week! Looking forward to spinning it!
