Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

[avecigrec]

I could easily swap Return to and OB4CL, but 36 Chambers IMO has to stay on top. Every beat, every bar is almost perfection. As a debut it's nothing short of explosive.

I can definitely dig that. For me ODB was absolutely the key to unlocking everything else. It was my first Wu album and still my first love!

Yeah, definitely understandable. Ranking the early Wu albums is tough and nostalgia definitely can help put some albums over others. They're all 9-10/10s.

I bought the Deluxe Marvel Cover a few years back for a truly stupid price of like $75 new in store. It does sound really good but there was absolutely zero value for money on that price. Of course it's worth more now because everything is stupid but still...

Aw man you got ripped off. Mine was like $50 and came with a chess set. No spidermans though.

Think we're talking about Canadian money here.

Funny thing, I had that Liquid Swords 7“ box set from VMP for like $13 because they messed up the price. And I traded it sealed to one of the members here (and I constantly cannot remember who it was) for a sealed Wu 36 Chambers 7" box set because he had an extra. So I have no problem with buying the Marvel knowing that the LS box netted me that 36 Chambers box.

And yes, Canadian money so about $60 USD.

Maybe they're just giving away chess sets in Ontario. But they do not in BC.

Yeah, there's some generally laughable discog prices on there. IIRC some standard pressings were going for upwards of $500+.

I was comfortable paying $70 for a sealed copy off an Amazon vendor, knowing at some point in time in the next couple of years there's likely to be another run.

Yeah those prices are insane for something that almost certainly will get a repress/reissue.

Yeah wtf? The random repress copy I have has been going for $75+ over the last couple of months

Classic rza with the absolute insanity that was odb. Can see why people would have a hard time with ranking it higher but man, it's such an amazingly fun album. It's wacky, it's hard...it's "what the fuck did i just listen to, rewind that shit". Like right now I have Raw Hide on repeat.

Depends on the day. Fishscale kind if has a special place for me.

According to the VMP store drop email, they did a repress of Public Enemy. What are the chances the surface noise issues that plagued the first batch are resolved?
