I'm not sure I agree with you. I just think what they're trying to do with the club is perhaps different from what you think it should be. Their vision of what the curation should look like + their ability to sign deals to put out particular records = what we see them put out month after month.

Tbh maybe we just don't get their curation, I live curation, it just doesn't seem to be perfect

El-P and Blackalicious have been the best releases on this sub this year hands down. Their is an argument to be made about Salt n Pepa being an important release because it hasn't been reissued in forever. Rick Ross and specifically that N.E.R.D album are kinda more boring picks. This Future doesn't really feel like something people need in their rotation either.
I'm super glad I haven't signed up again!

Very difficult to make curation perfect. Id go as far to say impossible unless your easily pleased or the person tasked with the curation lol
Whats your opinion on the R&HH track and what it should or shouldn't be? Or are you purely of the thinking its VMP's sub they can do whatever they like with it which they can of course
That’s exactly what I think. Someone offers a curation service and if it aligns with my tastes, I subscribe.
I do think there are inherent obstacles to running a successful RHH vinyl sub, including the fact that most of it is recorded digitally, that it’s a relatively new genre, and I believe there tends to be a lot of homogeneity in subject matter and sound.
That's fair I can respect that. I think with the probably inevitable homogeneity that you mentioned they have been diverse enough within this sub to try reach all corners of the genre with above average success but that's only my opinion

That, De La, and Noname. And of course they're three of the most expensive resellers as well.
I've got De La. Missing No Name too. Crazy. Although as my Mrs likes to remind me "it doesn't matter what they are worth you won't sell them anyway"

Hip hop is over 40 years old and there are multitudes of vastly different sounding hip hop artists/songs/albums and incredibly diverse subject matter. Without making broad generalizations, which you could do for every genre, I don't see how you could say it is significantly more limited in scope than any other genre.

Hip Hop is probably the most diverse and innovative genre in music right now.
That comment definitely did not deserve any words beyond that picture.

Come on.
I love hip hop. its been around for 40 years. That makes it younger than many other genres.It took a while to get going, in recorded form. And are you actually going to tell me that a massive percentage of hip hop songs aren’t about 1) being a very good mc, 2) engaging incriminal activity, 3) owning luxury goods procured through criminal activity or 4) bitches?
And yet, here you are.

Dude, what are you even doing in here? Clearly you don't even respect hip hop. Yes, I would say that there is a ton of hip hop not about those things. I find many of those things off-putting and I love hip hop.
You are either trolling, being willfully disingenuous, or your knowledge of hip hop is very limited.
Oh fuck off, I don’t respect hip hop. You can evaluate and critique an art form and still respect it.
