Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

Ever since I first heard 'The Champ,' I wanted so badly to walk down my wedding aisle to that intro.

Alas, did not happen

I would listen to Shakey Dog and The Champ before every baseball game I played from 2007-2012. If I had enough time I wouldn't skip Kilo

What kind of interviews!?!? Are you kinda famous/super important in a particular industry?

Haha no, just for normal people job interviews. I got a promotion in May! Still haven't stepped foot in my new office. All thanks to Tony Starks, probably...

I'm spinning the VMP pressing of Salt-N-Pepa's Very Necessary and it's amazing! I actually love it so much, and I love how sexy and passionate some of the songs are on that album; especially 'Whatta Man' and 'Sexy Noises Turn Me On'! The first track on the album - 'Groove Me' - is just such a fun dancehall favoured song that always gets me wanting to dance!

I'm actually so glad VMP gave Very Necessary the 45RPM treatment! And I also can't wait to get Blacks' Magic too now, especially as it's 45RPM too! I just know it's gonna sound great and it's going to be such a joy to spin, especially "Let's Talk About Sex" & "Independent"!

Thats what pushed me to buy it. I have been meaning to get it for so long and when you said recently you had it I decided. I actually woke up during the night bought it and went back asleep

But have you copped Conspiracy by Junior MAFIA yet???

@Jmcg85 - Don't buy it yet, even though it has the classic 'Get Money' and 'Need You Tonight'! I have a feeling it will get reissued soon. Also, do you love that album? I think the album is mediocre outside the three main singles on there!

I forgot. Again

Not love no thats why i keep putting it on the long finger its not immediately essential for me to have but i want that and duets for my biggie collection and certain tracks that I do love.

Hints for RHH:

Wu-Tang, 120

someone on reddit said Apollo Kids peaked at 120 on the Billboard 200. I hope this is the one. it's my personal favorite GFK album and I hold a lot of love for it. Also, we all know VMP loves to claim and advertise first pressings and anniversaries.

Would be an amazing get for VMP

Adding the RHH add-on track now in anticipation this sells out quick. I would have still preferred Fishscale, but Apollo Kids is still really good and it does have the "never saw a vinyl release" thing going for it.

Now let's see if in a week we get a repeat of the ODB fiasco where Storf says "Oh yeah, it's not a Ghostface album."

what else would 120 mean beyond its billboard 200 position?

Could mean months as in came out 120 months ago or 10 years? 2010 is when Apollo Kids came out!

For classics 132 is 11 years so count back from whenever the cutoff for classics is and boom, you got a year?

I might be over thinking this...

Woah that's actually a good point. Never thought it could me months. It would make total sense for Apollo Kids even more now.

Well, except they kinda deemed classics to be early eighties and before. Only 11 years old will likely be WAY too recent for that track. I don't think there is an official cut off.
