Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

[Jonathan Y]

Hint 4:
One ROTM comes from a guy with a name that starts with a W. Another comes from a guy who is also in a group that starts with a W. The final one comes from a guy who added an addendum to his name at a later date.

Per storf on reddit

Big Punisher coming in hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Although i'd love a Wu member, solo project as well!

Storf once said in the old forum that he considers Immortal Technique the Yngwie Malmsteen of rap: technically gifted and completely unbearable to listen to. So probably never, from VMP.

screw him then !

Any of these would be giant R&HH selections. I think storf said he’s been trying to get Supreme Clientele forever. I have to think that would be an essentials pick though.

Would be sweeeeeeettt

Big Pun and Willie Bobo were both born in NY

Big Pun and Willie Bobo were both born in NY

As several people have pointed out, what are the odds on storf knowing that, though?

From the VMP forums and I think maybe appropriate?

"Another comes from a guy who is also in a group that starts with a W." -- Welp. Let me start plugging into Wu-Tang solo albums that fit one of those three visual clues.

• Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (Smoke cloud above Rae's head on the cover)
• Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele (Extreme close-up of Ghost's face)
• Method Man - Tical (Smoke cloud on the cover)

Since there is a clear front runner for essentials with a closeup cover a smoke cloud cover seems more likely

Ohhhh things done changed. I can fuck with these new guesses.

Im confused was RHH confirmed as a latin born artist?

EDIT: 2 of the 3 albums have artists with latin American Roots

2 of the 3 albums were made in NY or nearby

Yeah but when asked Storf said specifically that Latin meant born in Latin America and Bobo was born in Harlem. There's a very reasonable theory that maybe Storf was mistaken about Bobo. People are having a hard time coming up with a W group rapper born in Latin America.

We’re overlooking the Deli clue. Any hip hop options with a Deli related cover?

 

[mitchwagz]

Tical seems like a very VMP R&HH too. I think that’s the best guess. I’d rather that than anything that’s been put out as a guess so far. Unless it was Raekwon or Ghostface but I already have both of those.

There would be no complaints here. The clues point pretty strongly to Bobo and Ben for the other two tracks though, but then again maybe they don’t.

 

[Clint Howard]

The Beatnuts had at least one record with a deli (iirc) on the cover. They're latin-y and new-york-y.

 

[Rahawk2]

Ice Cube ( Westside Connection ) The Predator ( Close up, Smoke cloud) maybe?

That would be a really dope pick.

This says “Latin American Roots” which is kinda open ended then he admits his facting checking “Might be a bit off here”

He probably thought (understandably so) that Willie Bobo was Latin American.

Storf wrong confirmed.

 

[dhodo]

there are readily available represses of Tical, Cypress Hill, and Raekwon

And Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart...

 

[Jango]

On Reddit, Storf ruled out Supreme Clientele in a response to an “is it anything Wu-related” question, so...



it’s Beck.

the willie Bobo one that is frontrunner for classics has a deli on the cover
