Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

I think the odds are obviously pretty high. I'll go Side 1 right off the top, whooshing for WU. And for PE let's say really bad end of side crackle on 3 and 4, for like 1 minute each. BOOK IT
They are bound to get one right eventually just by the law of averages. Also, after two fuck ups in a row you hope that the if there is someone in charge of QC, they have been replaced by now, right?
 
I've asked this too many times already, but does anyone want to trade one of my bad (but very listenable) Mars Voltas for a bad ATLiens?
 
Clue #1: HH: One of these albums has never been properly released on vinyl. Another has never been reissued. The other has never been on 2LP.

Clue #2: HH: 00, 06, 98

If we assume the order is the same for each clue, we have:

A 2000 LP that has never been “properly” released on vinyl

A 2006 LP that has never been reissues

A 1998 release that has never been issues on a 2xLP

I am intrigued.

Moment of truth by Gang Starr has never been released on 2lp as an uncensored version.
 
Well... other pressings are 3lp so take that as you will.
yeah I am gonna go with Black Star until proven otherwise. It’s the perfect R/HH sub selection. A well regarded album but not one with tons of widespread appeal (outside of the genre) there has hasn’t been any recent repressed outside of the single disc picture disc and it’s been pressed unofficially quite a bit (meaning there is demand) and those unofficial releases seem to all be pressed on 2xLP meaning that would probably be a desirable way to go. I will note the the unofficial repressed have some unnecessary remix bullshit added on to the end of Side D to pad out the run time but even still. It seems like a good candidate.
 
I think Clipse’s Hell Hath No Fury will be the 2006 pick! It has never been reissued before, and has never been on 2xLP!

It’s first pressing was in 2014! I really hope it’s the ROTM and we get the album spread over two discs! The 2014 white pressing is so crap! I’d love an upgrade as Hell Hath No Fury is a top 5 hip-hop album from the 2000’s for me!
 
Cunninlynguists’ A Piece Of Strange has never been reissued as well! It’s only had one pressing and that was also in 2014, like with Hell Hath No Fury! It fits the clues too! 🍎🪵🎋

I just really hope the 2006 R&HH pick is either Clipse’s Hell Hath No Fury or Cunninlynguists’ Piece of Strange as they were the two best hip-hop albums of 2006 in my opinion! Ghostface Killah’s Fishscale is up there as well for 2006!!!
