Did they really keep 400 Blackalicious in reserve for replacements or did they repress? A repress with recent issues would scare me- especially with the Discog reviews being so good for the pressing.
I'm thinking this is a repress. I've gotten a couple of the represses they've done and none seem to have the issues the newer albums have.Did they really keep 400 Blackalicious in reserve for replacements or did they repress?

I could have saved you some time as I basically had all the data already-i decided to actually do the research on what years, regions, and specifically states have the most attention (its not complete yet for essentials or classics, i will work on those in the future because those are a bigger batch to swallow with all the different genres and i don't have genres or subgenres in my database yet)..
but i can make it available to view to see where the bias is right HERE
in the graphs i found out the most biased year (trying to make the order of the bars chronological) to be 2010 with 6 different releases.. and the others aren't even close with 2nd place being a 3 way tie between 2002, 2018, and 1996
but region was the MOST surprising aspect.. turns out there actually is a lot of California and west coast representation, we just don't really notice because its not really the G-Funk we are hoping for, more the experimental side

obviously, we have a very heavy east coast effect (90% of those are from New York which makes sense,)
so why do we assume there is a huge bias towards 2000s southern rap albums

maybe because of the percentage of acts specifically from Georgia we keep getting. or because we are getting them all in rapid succession
Decided to run the numbers to check your theory and also because I feel like this comes up somewhat often and I was also just curious myself.
NOTES: Decade is from xxx0-xxx9 (i.e. 1990-1999). The one blank in origin is Handsome Boy Modeling School as it seems one is from East and one is West. I also didn't include RHH that was in Essentials as I have to run to soccer for the kids. Going to add later.)

Obviously we can do an analysis of recency as well as 2021 has been very heavy south. But in total, Midwest should have a bit of a beef especially since every single one is from Illinois / Chicago besides E&A. Also the decades as a whole feels pretty even. Personally, I would like this to skew further to the 90's though.
As for the 7 year period you mentioned it is at around 20% of releases through PE. It's pretty in line with the decade totals and thus not sure there really is any heavy lean there.
i distracted myself at leastI could have saved you some time as I basically had all the data already-
I think the real takeaways are basically the same as these last quarters are basically more of the same:i distracted myself at least
basically we want some G-funk already that isn't just snoop- West Coast needs more run. E-40 in this quarter but that's a very specialized and local sound that isn't very West Coast feeling.
they were too busy with the taco bell ad dudeThe complaint has more to do with the quality of the acts than the number of releases. While major acts from the South and the East Coast have been represented, we haven't gotten much from the West Coast. No Ice T, no Ice Cube, no 2pac, no Kendrick, etc.
In fact listening to the Phoenix repress now and it's perfect.I'm thinking this is a repress. I've gotten a couple of the represses they've done and none seem to have the issues the newer albums have.
