Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

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.

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people aren’t familiar with E-40 or just aren’t into it. In A Major Way is my favorite, but that had a reissue a few years ago, so I’m glad they’re doing Hall Of Game.

I can understand people not being into these regional rap scenes. I’m into most styles of rap, but I can see how it’s not for everyone, especially the more unconventional scenes, and also for people just kinda dipping into the RHH track. Like I know most people feel a way about the Keef pick, but that’s another one of the regional scenes I’m glad they’re getting into.

I’m gonna pass on the Young MC though.

2 for 12 for me this quarter, gonna have to find a good swap for Feb.

Yeah Feb is looking like a swap for credit/hopefully something new to swaps.

Appreciate the discussion on 40, like I said being from Northern CA it's a must have but now I do understand how people can not "get" him.
 
part of my issue is i probably have some kind of ADHD or something and keep thinking "i should watch this youtube" video instead of any album over an hour

I suspect these have been baked-in for a while. I don't know what their lead time is but I suspect it's more than a few months. That's why I wasn't expecting a fix to the noise issues for a few cycles as I suspected by the time they realized there was a problem there were multiple months of ROM already in containers floating there way over here. I just don't understand why they didn't hold one of the classics (PE, ATLiens) to prop up an otherwise weak cycle. I'd give the new guy a few months to deliver the fire.

All of the "why we picked it" blurbs for these three months come from Storf which makes me think they were in the works before the new guy was brought in (also apologies to the new guy I keep forgetting your name, it just isn't as memorable as "Storf").

These albums are probably selected at least six months in advance and if VMP is smart (????) they're planning ROTMs closer to 9 months out or longer because of Covid/supply chain issues. So I probably wouldn't expect to see any curation input from the new guy until the following three months at the earliest.
 
Did they really keep 400 Blackalicious in reserve for replacements or did they repress? A repress with recent issues would scare me- especially with the Discog reviews being so good for the pressing.
 
I think I like finally rich because in a weird way it is therapy...

Just giving up all the stress and going into the basic feeling of "I don't care, I'm going to have fun and mosh"

Also it's hard to find legit rage fun artists after Travis' festival killed people
