Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

lol the new mockup looks like shit

“What if we moved away from the whole space galaxy aesthetic and just made it look like a toddler just rainbow puked after eating nothing but colorful candies for 4 hours.”

You know...I think I'm kind of done with coloured vinyl.
Give me good packaging, great sound and just straight up black vinyl. Less room for error.

 

[duke86fan]

Eh I honestly don't give a shit... I just want the record

Agreed, at the end of the day it's what the record sounds like that matters most. But man does this feel almost like a bait and switch with how dramatically different the colorway is...

Same. Though I’m not mad that there’s a market for it, I’ll sell my colored copies for 4x the price then turn around and buy the black version that sounds the exact same.

Has anybody spoken up about Aesop Rock? Is there some breathtaking element to it that trumps versions already available? Or is it just "good enough"

I just got it a few days ago and it sounds really good (to me). I had the newbury variant but sold it before I could do a comparison. The VMP does have the hidden track “Pigs”

Anyone got Busta? Swapped for it. Reviews on cogs seem aiiight

Yeah, got it a couple of weeks back.
It's pretty good for sure.

Has there been any talk of VMP doing When Disaster Strikes?

Not that I heard, but it was just reissued I believe.

 

[bdrummond]

Wait....was Lupe just reissued? I saw a copy while shopping today.

Edit: Yup, Atlantic 75th version which I'm assuming is the vmp.

I believe the VMP is different plates.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Hard to tell because Discogs listing for the 75th is incomplete

I’ll post in each thread accordingly, but in the October pamphlet, there are clues for the upcoming quarter. For hip hop, the release years are the following: 1988, 1994, and 1995.

1988 has already been confirmed to be Boogie Down Productions - By All Means Necessary.

1994 could be many different albums, but I'm just gonna quote myself from a few months ago (it turns out I did not forget)...


Per chatter in the discord, 1995 is believed to be Wu-adjacent with ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers the current front-runner.

I'm happy with my copy of BDP but it's not a bad choice just not my first choice for BDP!

I'm always excited about hip hop from 94 and 95!! I know in the past they have found ways to disappoint with selections from the 90's but if the frontrunners are indeed ODB and O.C. they kind of knocked it out the park this go around!

if they have some store exclusives (do they still do that with their records of the month?) it'll be an interesting start to the quarter!

Scarface or 8 Ball & MJG would also be good '94 picks.

 

[Haimez40]

Scarface - The Diary would be an automatic buy for me, and I still have an original pressing. I have Untouchable also but the artwork and sound quality are sub par for any pressing I have found of that.

Untouchable and Rainbow Road on Mario Kart 64 would be a welcomed throw back to my college days.LOL

Missed the Masta Killa album when it came out, so I gave it my first listen earlier this evening. Not something I'd rush out to get, but pretty solid album overall.

I’d say it’s a second tier solo Wu-Tang project. Which, given how incredible top tier Wu-Tang albums are, isn’t bad at all.

It came out so past their prime that it just got completely overlooked. Definitely not a top tier solo project but it definitely would have held its own and would have done way better had it come out a couple years earlier.

all the rappers are from brooklyn

OC Word Life and ODB basically confirmed
