There have been 2 episodes so far. They focused on Gravediggaz and 3 Feet High and Rising respectively. The next episode is out tomorrow and focuses on A Prince Among Thieves.
Can’t wait to spin this masterpiece!
It’s less likely than the others due to the label clue (though it could be stretched to fit).Raekwon's "Only built 4 Cuban Linx..." sounds great. Just checking it out. It still sounds fresh to me, a lot more than Coolio or LL Cool J, which sound more dated to me. Especially I like the instrumental parts of the songs. Feels like a great album to spin on vinyl.
Have we already ruled it out as possible VMP RotM?
If the RotM is Coolio or LL Cool J I might pick up this instead, elsewhere. How's the MOV of this sounding?
Wu-Tang Clan is the greatest collection of music-makers of all time (the Miles Davis sextet on Kind of Blue is the second).Raekwon's "Only built 4 Cuban Linx..." sounds great. Just checking it out.

The Music On Vinyl (MOV) pressing sounds pretty great actually, but I think the VMP pressing will sound a bit better, and will of course look better too! I have the MOV pressing for Mobb Deep’s The Infamous and while it sounds pretty great, the VMP exclusive does sound a bit better - maybe it was just a pressing plant thing though, but the production and vocals do sound better on the VMP pressing!Raekwon's "Only built 4 Cuban Linx..." sounds great.

This is my thought too, we got some helpful info on pressings a few pages back. Cheers to more Wu-Tang in the collectionRaekwon's "Only built 4 Cuban Linx..." sounds great. Just checking it out.

All MOV vinyl sounds great to me & ive bought quite a lot. Avoid the OB4CL pressing from Get On Down that comes in a pvc sleeve. Pressing is fine. Sleeve is horrible i hate it so muchThis is my thought too, we got some helpful info on pressings a few pages back. Cheers to more Wu-Tang in the collection
I think ill buy the MOV myself to replace it
I’m with you there, I hope it’s OBFCL if it’s Coolio or LL I’ll just skip VMP this month and buy that purple version that was linked instead.The Music On Vinyl (MOV) pressing sounds pretty great actually, but I think the VMP pressing will sound a bit better, and will of course look better too!

Also, yes Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx definitely still sounds fresh to this day! The production on that album by RZA is intricate, focused, sophisticated and detailed! The piano loops, crispy drums, horn stabs and whaling strings are all stealthy and steamy/hot! The production compliments Raekwon’s grimy agent-like narratives, marbled wordplay and braggadocio tone! It’s mafioso rap perfection! This is the best rap album of 1995 along with GZA’s Liquid Swords, no doubt!
I really want the R&HH ROTM to be Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx! I mean, imagine how happy @Mather would be!!!
I don’t even want to listen to LL Cool J or Coolio’s albums from 1995 after even thinking about how good Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx is!
I'm hoping it's Rae or Big L with good mastering/pressing quality. Even though both are readily available, they would cost me more than my subscription and Get On Down doesn't have the best rep.I am a completionist & personally planned on having more Coolio and LL than I already have eventually so I'm ok with this even if I'm not overly thrilled. Already have OB4CL but I hate my copy so that's welcomed too but none of them thrill me for those reasons. I want something like Operation Stackola
Get on down has access to great albums but sadly yeah they usually sound poor , I stopped buying from them exclusively there shipping to me is extortionate too
