As well as for those who do have it; it’s a massive upgrade having it spread on 2xLP’s!
Having an amazing sounding pressing of Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star would be a dream come true!
️Side B is 29 minutes and 30 seconds long! Black Star needs to be spread over two discs!!!

I want Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star to receive the 2xLP VMP treatment so baaaad!
I love the song Brown Skin Lady so freaking much! That song is so timeless, sensual and uplifting! The production is beautifully textured and the guitars mix so effortlessly into the song! Truly one of my favourite hip-hop songs of the 90’s!
If VMP do Black Star over two discs, I’m going to cry tears of joy!!!

It’s so bad, but I’m already setting myself up for disappointment by really hoping we get Black Star and Hell Hath No Fury for the November and December R&HH ROTM’s! If we at least get one of those, I’ll be very happy! 
But if we don’t get either Black Star or Hell Hath No Fury, I’m going to be sad moaning!
I just really love those two albums and really don’t care for the pressings I own! Like I’ve never been ready to upgrade two pressings of personal all-time top 20 hip-hop albums ever!!!!!!

Blackstar would be great. I've wanted forever but have avoided the current press. So that would be a huge W.
Clipse is great on the surface and I wouldn't be disappointed in the pick. But if so, it really underscores why they brought in someone to help with the RHH sub. They just seem to get in a mode of being unimaginative and dip into the same well they already have done instead of pushing for new stuff

I really don’t think this is it but I was trying to play around with a 2000 album that’s never been “properly” pressed.
Binary Star - Masters Of The Universe
Original presses all had mislabeled sides and the Vinyl Digital repress was missing a bunch of tracks.

Another not going to happen but a man can dream for 2000 is Daiquiri Factory Cocaine Raps Vol 2 from Andre Nickatina.
Only ever pressed as a sampler

I wish I didn't get my hopes up for this every single time. The discog prices are insane and I need this in my collection.
Well, 98 and 00 were top release years.
when hints are dropped I always look at Top 40 Hip Hop Albums 1998 - Hip Hop Golden Age
and I think about all the albums that I want (need).
for 1998 the Bobby Digital, Black Star or almost any other release on that list would be cool.

This would be amazing, definitely an underrated and not often talked about album. “Reality Check” and about half the album have been on my playlists for so damn long now.
Hopefully the ATLiens repress brings about a slew of extras to put up for grabs. Wouldn’t mind upgrading.

I understand where you’re coming from and agree with you, but Hell Hath No Fury is the best coke rap album of all-time!
The best productions The Neptunes’ had was on this project! The chemistry between The Neptunes and Clipse on Hell Hath No Fury was special!
Just like how Kanye West’s soulful, velvety production on Common’s Be was impeccable, or how MF DOOM bought out the best in Madlib’s jazzy, obscure, colourful beats on Madvillainy! The same can be said for El-P’s unapologetically, explosive and raunchy production on Killer Mike’s R.A.P. Music and J Dilla’s smooth, seamlessly crisp beats on Slum Village’s Fantastic Vol. 2!
When a legendary producer’s best work is displayed on an artists’ album due to the chemistry of the rapper and them (the producer) being in their prime/creative head space, it’s magical!
The Neptunes futuristic, lean, slick, sparse, grimy, sexy, sharp production on Hell Hath No Fury is untouchable! We need this classic album to receive a high quality vinyl pressing!
I really love Hell Hath No Fury - it’s such a stylish, fierce and is a ridiculously hot album! It begs to be blasted and needs that pimped up VIP treatment!
I want it so so so bad! You’ve got no idea! I love Hell Hath No Fury so much! Hell Hath No Fury is the best looking hip-hop album due to its beats being so stylish, modern, edgy yet hollowed! Hot as fuck!

I’ve never wanted something so, so, so bad! I’ll do……anything for VMP to make Hell Hath No Fury a ROTM!

Yeah, it sounds good enough for me but I think @NathanRicaud might have an issue with the GOD pressing.

Yes, I think the pressing is very average! Whilst it’s not a bad sounding pressing, it’s not that good! It’s not as crisp and the bass doesn’t jump out - it’s more on the quiet side too!
I haven’t played the pressing in at least 15 months! I enjoy just listening to the album in the car! I want a great pressing that will make me want to spin the vinyl on the turntable! I love how great the recent Dr. Dre ‘The Chronic 2001’ pressing sounds! Like that’s an album I’d play in the car too, but not really anymore as the 2019 reissue pressing for the album and instrumentals sound incredible! I love spinning Chronic 2001 so much now! It’s so enjoyable!
I just want that same quality with Hell Hath No Fury! It felt so good upgrading my old The Chronic 2001 pressing to a much better one! Just want to do the same with Hell Hath No Fury! The production on that album is just so stellar!

My copy has got a lot of sibilance on every side. The overall mix is just awful. But there are different promo copies, hope you have a better one if only side C is affected.
But judging from the formulation in the hint "not properly released", I hope we get a proper repress of this D.I.T.C. album. Because although official releases seem to exist, they somehow didn´t make it to record stores because the label stopped their distribution for some reason. Sounds like "not properly released" to me.
