Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

Soooooooooooo........... will we get an uncensored "Fight The Power" or will they stick with the edited version?
knowing how VMP works it'll probably still be censored and not the uncensored version from the Do the Right Thing soundtrack.VMP for the Hip Hop track usually just uses the pressing plates from a already available pressing.

I would normally agree with this but isn't this the first 2 LP pressing of Fear of a Black Planet, or was that just Enter the 36 Chambers?

I'm not super-acquainted with the variations of this track, but I have heard both the "Do The Right Thing" soundtrack version, and the version on Fear of a Black Planet. The wikipedia page refers to neither as "censored," but does refer to the soundtrack version as "extended."


Which version are you saying is "uncensored" versus "edited"?

I assume they would stick with the "Fear of a Black Planet" version, whatever it is. Though it would be nice if they'd included the extended soundtrack version as a bonus track, since they're stretching it across 2 LPs. Or as a bonus 7".
 
The version I am referring to doesn't sensor or bleep out any of the curse words. The Do The Right Thing version is uncensored, but historically the album was not which drives me nuts.

the Fear of a Black Planet album version is censored like mentioned above and also doesn't contain the awesome saxophone solo played by Branford Marsalis.
 
I will be signing back up solely for these 3 albums. Trying to figure out how/when I should do this. I really only want Outkast, Public Enemy, and Wu Tang. I figure I’ll wait until next month? But don’t want to miss out on ATLiens. When’s the best time to rejoin, I’m kind of rusty.

Day it goes live unfortunately, unless you’re willing the stomach an album from this month

I am in the same boat as you. I am thinking about signing up for this month for a 3 month Rap/Hip-hop membership now and then reaching out immediately to convert this months ROTM to store credit. Then when in Sept when I would want two both the R&HH and Essentials track reaching out to CS again to see if I can have some of the store credit to cover the cost of the Essentials track to cover the cost of that.

Seems easier to just go monthly in August on RHH and then do an add on track in Sept which will net the same price as doing a 3 month sub ($119)

I guess your way would net you about $6ish in credits left but that little amount doesn't seem worth the extra effort.
 
So looking at the tracklist on the Word of Mouf press, it seems they chopped off Block Lockdown / Welcome to Atlanta? I wasn't in on this anyway but damn that would have been super disappointing to me. Learning about the hidden Welcome to Atlanta was one of the best surprises as a kid even if it was annoying af to fast forward to the part whenever I wanted to hear it 😂

EDIT: Apparently none of the vinyl presses have it but damn that still sucks
 
Game time decision, but I opted to keep Luda. This album was a banger when I was growing up and a friend of mine is a huge Ludacris/DTP fan so I figure I owe it to him to add it to the collection. The orange pressing looks great in reference to the cover as well.

Is it overpriced? Yes. Is the album perfect? No. Have there been worse HH tracks from VMP? Yep.

This will only be my third HH track from them on the year so far, so I guess I gotta start somewhere.
 
So since I'm a tweak I think I'm going to leave my track as Essentials so it's set for Wu in September and just "Add On" the RHH now to lock ATLiens in and just cancel the add-on assuming all is good with swapping my August Essentials to it. I'm pretty sure there won't be any issues but still have some lingering PTSD from the Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik fiasco lol
