Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

Another sign we're not getting FP any time soon is that it's still not on streaming. Still likely in some kind of licensing hell.
 
I misread the album in discography clue as albums in discography, so I thought they might be going really deep and doing Ghetto Millionaire's Royal Flush.

It took many years (at least 3 that I know of) from when El-P mentioned that Fantastic Damage was being reiussed until it reached our hands. As of yet I haven't heard anything from El-P about a Funcrusher reissue. Could've missed it of course, but I think El-P would've said it's on its way by now.

Around the end of 2020 he said he was hopeful it would be back on streaming last year, which obviously didn't happen.

He did say they needed to clear samples but, seemed very confident it was doable, just a logistical difficulty since he can't do it alone, it is split between the three of them. Kinda seemed like they hadn't gotten around to starting to try do it yet.

Just to say, I don't think it is coming imminently, but he did seem to confirm it wasn't one of those situations where some label situation or impossible sample clearance was preventing it.
 
ok so there is one excuse to buy the VMP version of blu that i didn't think about


the bandcamp copy is 8 bucks for shipping, making it almost exactly 34 dollars excluding possible taxes.. VMP if you add it as a track is 35 dollars including taxes and shipping... yeah i might actually just stick with the VMP version because its not that much of a deal after all

I would think if there was an instrumentals LP they would put that in the description no?
Looks like a previous release had a 7" @ 45rpm, maybe they made the entire thing 45?

EDIT: It's gotta be 45rpm reading over their write up again. It'd be weird if they said 2LP and didn't mention one of those is instrumentals.

I feel like expanding it to 45rpm would be worth mentioning, too. Either way an odd detail to not elaborate on.

Agree, it's odd since previous versions have all been 1LP (except one with the bonus 7"). Would be nice to know what they've done to make this a 2LP edition.

Had to go back to the post about the last 45rpm RHH album I know of (Hell Hath No Fury) and yeah, they do mention it's 45rpm.

Tical finally arrived and it has a big ol’ scratch right at the start of side B. Haven’t had a chance to inspect/listen to The Game yet.

Can’t entirely fault it as something that just happens with VMP. A day earlier I got a record from Rappcats with the same issue. This hobby, man…

So I've been having more and more issues with records arriving in bad shape. My wife is seeing it as a VMP issue, but I don't buy enough elsewhere to know. Are we seeing this from a lot of other places as well?

Yyyyes. That's a yes from me. Everywhere. But GZ remains the absolute worse in my books.

Good to know. Yesterday was my first truly unplayable record. LP1 of Interpol had some clear indentations that look like it was clamped by something. Really strange. My others have been PIFable or given to neighbors and people have been happy. At least VMP has me covered when I do have an issue.
