Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

I literally cannot imagine anyone else on this forum saying this except you Believer101....

This is why I thought you were 18-20 years old!

Lol
Well if the young people aint hearing her on radio/music video shows and they younger then 20 yrs..
Makes it hard for people to naturally come across her.

Dont under estimate the power of mainstream. Most people need that shit so they know what to listen 2 haha
 
I think the “modern classic” descriptor is tripping everyone up. Remember this is storf you’re talking about, who’s “modern” taste includes liking bro country like Florida Gerorgia Line and similar...so let’s just say I am a skeptic that this is actually a modern classic.

Storf’s favourite pop album of this decade Justin Beiber’s Purpose. He would probably call that album a classic!

I won’t be blown away by this ROTM but I know I’ll be pleasantly pleased because I’ll be happy if we get either The Roots, The-Dream or Big Boi! Those albums range from 7/10-8/10. So I’m happy with that! 😊

I WANT A 2LP PRESSING OF KANYE WEST’s MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY!!!

All I’m saying is that How I Got Over, Sir Lucious, Love King, Teflon Don, and MBDTF are worthy additions to anyone’s collection.
We know it won’t be My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Therefore, if I had to choose which one I’d actually want VMP to do out of those four albums, I’d choose The-Dream’s Love-King! Yamaha and Nikki pt.2 is something special and I love The Make-Up Bag and FILA too! Sex Intelligent is also interesting. Turns Out is like that Isley Brothers ‘Between The Sheets’ sexy slow jam.

I’m rooting for The-Dream even though I doubt it will get chosen!
 
Exactly how I feel! I like Love-King although for me, that album hasn’t aged very well. The-Dream’s Love vs Money has aged well and is still The-Dream’s masterpiece/best album.

I don’t think it will The The Roots’ How I Got Over because of how ridiculously well-known they are and because of how cheap the current pressing of the album is. With Method Man’s Tical and Knxwledge’s Hud Dreems, I understand why they were picked even though they were readily available too. They are lesser known releases artists/releases and weren’t as acclaimed as How I Got Over.

I think it’s going to be Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.

I agree that it won’t be The-Dream. I know it hasn’t been pressed before, but not a lot of people would be interested in Love-King. And I just don’t understand it being picked as a ‘Rap & Hip-Hop’ ROTM.

@radiodead - I know you really want it to be The-Dream and it could be it. Who knows? Maybe Storf genuinely thinks it will be as big as OutKast! But I think there’s pretty much no chance it’s Love-King because it’s an R&B album, and it’s not really an R&B that fits in with VMP’s target audience. Also, it’s an album I can’t see being anywhere as popular as southernplayalisticadilakmusic!

Also, someone mentioned VMP’s strong relationship with Big Boi! I also see this Big Boi release being big, especially if they do the original album art. Shutterbugg is a huge hit and still gets played!

Nathan.. seriously. In what world is The Roots - How I Got Over more well known than Method Man and/or Tical? Like.. you have got to be kidding right? Their 6th-8th best album is more well known than movie star / rap superstar Method Man's debut album? This has got to be you trolling again cause nobody actually could possibly believe that.

Oh yeah, you’re right actually. Now that I think about it, Method Man’s Tical is definitely more well known than The Roots’ How I Got Over.

It’s just that Tical hardly comes up when discussing the best Wu-Tang Clan albums. It’s always Ghostface, GZA & Raekwon.

But I also thought to myself that amongst the VMP subscriber audience/stakeholders, that The Roots in general are much more popular/better known than Method Man.

What is trolling? I still don’t completely understand what that means but I have an idea. I’m definitely not trolling 🤣🤣🤣

Actually, you know what Clint?

In today’s world, in August 2019, I honestly think The Roots’ How I Got Over is better known than Method Man Tical’s! Maybe because How I Got Over would generally be considered a better album than Method Man’s Tical, even though How I Got Over is considered around their 5th-7th best album in their discography. In addition, The Roots are way better known than Method Man and are much more relevant. Also, in rateyoumusic, How I Got Over has much more ratings than Tical.

I’m not letting your trifling ass fool me! 🙅‍♂️

A) It's not a better album - Tical is one of the best Wu records ever.

B) The Roots are not way more known than Method Man. He is a movie star / well known rap superstar. They're the backing band for Jimmy Fallon. Black Thought was in The Deuce and didn't even get mentioned. You know who was in it and in every single fucking article about that show? Method Man.

C) So wait.. an album that came out in 2010 has more reviews on a website devoted to internet people than an album from 1994? Get the fuck outta here.

A) Maybe to you Method Man Tical is but to most people it definitely ain’t. O.D.B’s (Return to the 36 Chambers) and Ghostface Killah’s debut (Ironman) have much more ratings and are much better ranked. Ironman is #18 and Return to 36 Chambers is ranked #39 for their year. Tical is ranked #148. GZA and Raekwon are both ranked in the top 10 for 1995 with Liquid Swords being ranked #2. Supreme Clientele and Only Built For Cuban Linz 2 would widely be considered better albums than Tical, whether you agree or not.

B) THEN EXPLAIN WHY METHOD MAN DOESNT EVEN HAVE 500k LIKES ON HIS FACEBOOK PAGE WHEREAS THE ROOTS HAVE 1.5M LIKES???

C) Things Fall Apart by The Roots was an album released in the 90’s and had more than double the ratings as Method Man’s Tical. Nearly 6,000 ratings that is!
 
A) Clint is good

B) Good is Clint

C) Here comes the clintage

For what it's worth, Acclaimed Music which is an aggregator of critical reviews and opinions has The Roots - How I Got Over as the #25 album of 2010 and #1985 album of all time, whereas Method Man's Tical is #79 of 1994 and not in the top 3000 albums of all time.

Not that I necessarily agree with that ranking and in an aggregator such as Acclaimed Music, Tical suffers from being in 1994, which is a monster year for albums compared to 2010 (a lot of the rankings are year end lists) and since it's all album sites, it's not just a hip-hop list in which I think Tical would definitely be ahead of How I Got Over. I think The Roots have always had more mainstream appeal to rock critics for example than Method Man.

I personally think that Tical is a much better album than How I Got Over and is in the second tier of Wu albums (I have 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Only Built 4, and Supreme Clientele in my top Wu tier). Just some food for thought.
 
@Teeeee - this is why I’m scared you don’t want me to win your AOTM......😂😶

One minute I’m bringing in and comparing Farrah Abraham to The Shaggs and the next minute I’m telling someone that their trifling ass won’t fool me. I’m too much 🙈🤣

Your very talkative tonight. What you drinking?

Dont mess with clint uno he got the book of facts ready to pimp slap ya with.

You’re Australian! You’re supposed to be helping me win this debate you dog!

If I knocked on every house in my street and asked who is method man and who are the roots id find the following.

1. Crackheads
2. 1/3 Would know meth from either The Wire, How High , Limp Bizkit or Wu Tang or some random project.
3. They wouldnt know the roots or theyd say Jimmy Fallon.

So I agree with clint..my bad

Mind blown I know.

*Not a real head
 
I’m drinking water. I hardly ever get drunk.

But I’m the one with the facts. He’s just saying Tical is a top Wu album and saying that Method Man is a superstar and etc etc

I’m supporting my claims.

But you haven't really done any of that. I'm proven Method Man is a superstar several times over. He stars in his own movie series ffs. No one in The Roots is on his level to the point their main rapper was in the same show as him and didn't even get mentioned.

You then point to aggregate sites like they're the objective truth. You know what the #1 movie of the year is ? The Avengers? You know what one of the most boring movies of the year is? The Avengers. Just cause more people know it doesn't make it better especially with rap.

The Roots have always appealed to a white audience while the Wu scared a lot of white people for the first little while they were around.

He even got a big role in that new HBO show

So he still going strong really.

Method is a household name and has been a long ass time.
Its at a point now if I watch something remotely "hiphop" or "hood" I expect method man to appear atleast for a cameo at some point lol

I think that new HBO show you're referring to is The Deuce. Which also has Black Thought.. and you didn't even know he was in it. QED.
