This just made me stream Warren G' Regulate album, I hadn't listened to it in years. Really amazing record.
Are there any old pressings of this that can be recommended at all?

Everyone's different i suppose. I've hated some choices that were popular in here (Knxwledge)
and been absolutely thrilled with choices that people in here didn't like at all(T.I. Future). I know how quick an album sells can say a lot but I guess they cant please everybody all of the time. Snoop Dogg stuck around for an age, that record was beautiful and is an absolute classic. I think there is a massive overreaction to this Future record though personally.
Here is the R&HH release list so far its pretty diverse tbf

It is hard to swallow when a month is "bad" to you personally because you get ecstatic about the clues then deflated when you realise it isn't what you want, I was like that with my new SNP frisbee I'm still waiting on but there is always next month my friends ❤

Here is the one I have and I love it. About 5 years ago Snoop reposted it from my IG (and the cd and vinyl are raised on the table with soft clean sponge it just doesn't appear that way before anyone is horrified lol)This just made me stream Warren G' Regulate album, I hadn't listened to it in years. Really amazing record.

I'm gonna stick my neck out for Teflon Don as for some reason it's clicked on wax like it never did for me streaming. Perhaps just down to the setup and better sound but I really never cared for it before yet have spun it 3 times in the past two days since arrival. Side B absolutely bangs. Like I can't laud Ross for any one thing directly but everything somehow comes together to deliver something that I can't help but feel and vibe with.
Think being a relatively new member has had its virtues as I've picked up Phrenology, Blazing Arrow, King and Very Necessary so far through swaps and catch up so any drought isn't felt.
Doubt I'll be saying the same for Honest though so it's off to the Classics track this month.

Teflon Don had almost the same disappointment rate in here as Future did initially. It really wasn't until TD start being delivered to people and they spun it that they started to properly enjoy it. Its a beautiful vinyl package overall and brilliant to spin. People were saying things like "i can't imagine anyone who would want to add a rick ross vinyl to their collection" but i've got several and i enjoy them all. There is a sort of "uggh rick ross" feeling across social media but when people actually play his stuff they end up feeling the opposite its odd

Yeh I can get that. I think his persona gets in his way a lot when it comes to some people giving him more of a shot than they might be willing. He's definitely not hitting at the same level as others they could pick but it's easily digestible and sometimes you just want to throw something on for that larger than life no-fucks vibe.
I'd take the same lesson for Future but I haven't been a fan of any of his solo work I've tried whereas with Ross I've always liked a number of his hits and his appearances. Something about the Ross "huh" that clicks I guess! The VMP Honest looks beautifully put together though and I'm glad people that are hyped for it are getting that. If I enjoyed it I'd be really looking forward to getting it in the post with the way it looks.

I'm a bigger Future fan than I am of Ross but admittedly Future is harder to digest than Ross. Some people just can't click with Future at all. My partner for example she loves Travis Scott but isnt too keen on Future . Feels his vocal sounds like he is constantly repeating himself, the song that broke the camels back there was Drakes "Grammys" and its hard to argue with that one tbf
. While DS2 is the album I recommend to people when talking about Future as its his magnum opus I actually feel like Honest is probably his most polished and easily accessible release to date. Its got more rnb influences than anything else he has brought out and less "mumbling" for the want of a better description (I hate calling him mumble because I'm tuned to his vocal and I know he isn't but alot of folk disagree)

I think that is actually what I don't like about it, how much pop rap polish is on it, future is best for me when he is heavy and angsty and the kind of gangster using gang shit to hide clear sadness and heartbreak, that's why some slow songs like blood on the money work so well since it's clearly him not happy about what he's doing but it's what he's used to

Interesting, appreciate your insights. I suppose you could question just how much I've attempted to give Future a chance outside of just coming across his stuff and not being keen, but everything I played including a few from Honest, hasn't done anything to amend that. I'll give it and DS2 a full shot in advance of picks opening though, on the off chance something falls into placeI'm a bigger Future fan than I am of Ross but admittedly Future is harder to digest than Ross.

Personally 56 nights is probably the best overall "pop enough to appeal to the mainstream but still that dark side is strong"I can dig this
March madness is one of his best songs

His 2015 run ds2 and several mixtapes was incredible. Anything after Honest and before Evol is definitely worth trying. 56 nights isInteresting, appreciate your insights.

but he may not be for you. I'm gladd your being open minded though ❤

Times have changed, DS2 can be hard to find on vinyl and Honest is easier to digest than Hndrxx. I agree it'll be around for a few months but definitely not forever

Sounds like you should start up a Rap and Hip Hip vinyl subscription! Because that's clearly not what VMP believes the subscription should be.

I'm not exactly sure that VMP knows what they want it to be either

I'm not sure I agree with you. I just think what they're trying to do with the club is perhaps different from what you think it should be. Their vision of what the curation should look like + their ability to sign deals to put out particular records = what we see them put out month after month.

Tbh maybe we just don't get their curation, I live curation, it just doesn't seem to be perfect

El-P and Blackalicious have been the best releases on this sub this year hands down. Their is an argument to be made about Salt n Pepa being an important release because it hasn't been reissued in forever. Rick Ross and specifically that N.E.R.D album are kinda more boring picks. This Future doesn't really feel like something people need in their rotation either.
I'm super glad I haven't signed up again!

Very difficult to make curation perfect. Id go as far to say impossible unless your easily pleased or the person tasked with the curation lol
