Nice that a company renowned for letting people down can still surprise people with their letdowns!

On the plus side, they've had some good stuff in swaptions these past few months, hopefully that trend continues...

I don't even think I'm getting Blazing Arrow anymore. Such a skippable quarter for me and honestly it's a relief.

I hear you. The only must haves for me are Lightning Hopkins and Modest Mouse. Besides that I’m not terribly excited by the lineup and am hoping for some decent swaps in February.
Overall it’s not a great start to the year.

Modest Mouse is the only album out of this quarter on any track I may sign up for a month for, but honestly I may roll the dice on a wider repress sometime soon.

I would be shocked if VMP got exclusives dips on a repress of that album. You’re probably making a safe bet there.

This 40 record will be the first time 2pac appears on any VMP wax unless I’m blanking on it

like... really... young MC... i mean i watched his one hit wonderland but he is basically a diet fresh prince or MC hammer, it's safe and basic... practically normy
if you are going to do someone like young MC and on the same label from the same year why not tone loc

I'm confused on the hate for the 40 album. That's been a grail since I started collecting, a shame it was never on vinyl until now. Please don't fuck this up VMP.
That being said, it's looking like that's literally the only record I want out of the next three months
. I think this will be the first time I skip 3 classics in a row if the suspected Feb/March albums come true.

O for 3 indeed. Whatever happened to this track? I thought they got a credible new guy to handle this.

The 40 is an absolute must have for any real hip hop fan IMO. I am from Northern California so a bit biased but 40 is one of the GOATS of Rap & Hip Hop.

It’s a west coast classic for sure. I was fully tuned in to that Bay Area scene in the 90s but I think a lot of people kind of skipped that whole sound. I know a lot of hip hop fans that unfortunately don’t even know who Ant Banks is

It was a bit underwhelming when I listened to this a few times after the announcement, but I will try again with an open mind.

It's mostly because of the issue of most rap albums when vinyl was "dead".. 70 minutes, around 14-20 tracks, you are almost expected to skip some parts you don't like but you can't do listening in one sitting is tiring.. it's an issue I have had with a lot of LPs in this track.. though maybe I just need something to fidget toI'm confused on the hate for the 40 album.
