I mean I love Geto Boys but as an essential? Tribe fits wayyy better under that banner.Tribe is still speculative yes? Could just as easily be GB?

Agreed but... VMP does VMP things when it comes to this stuff. But yes, would definitely seem to be Tribe. I've been waiting so I'm all for it.I mean I love Geto Boys but as an essential? Tribe fits wayyy better under that banner.
I already have a copy of The Low End Theory but it’s one that aI am willing to repurchase ad nausium as long as there is a chance it might be a definitive pressing.Agreed but...

It could be argued that a lot of the R&HH titles are more essential than some the “Essential” tracks for sure. I just think The Low End Theory is one of those albums that gets tossed around a lot as one of the best Hip-Hop albums of all time.Are all the records in "essential" really essential? It could be argued that Geto Boys are essential...and doing UGK and Geto Boys in the same month is BIG Houston rap royalty shit....so it's totally Tribe...
even if you dont really like the rest..
listen to XO tour life at the very least.. his biggest hit (excluding some occasional high placements when EA dropped) and its been so acclaimed that pitchfork literally named it the 10th best song of the last DECADE

I would listen to Scarface rap the Houston phonebook but I don’t think most would necessarily share in my enthusiasm.
What's wrong with the last pressing? It's been a while since I listened to my copy and I don't remember it being too hard to find.Was thinking two days ago “Man, VMP should really do Labcabincalifornia!”
Now I’ll die in peace. Pharcyde and Tribe would be an amazing one two punch
Never bothered picking it up or finding it in the wild!What's wrong with the last pressing? It's been a while since I listened to my copy and I don't remember it being too hard to find.
No. Midnight is definitely the weak link. I just bought all 4 of tribe's first albums and Low End Theory sounds good. Not amazing, but definitely better than MM.is the pressing of the low end theory as bad as midnight is
that's the only reason I'm unsure about it
The problem with Midnight Marauders in comparison to their other releases is that the most readily available version is all packed on a single LP and thusly fairly quiet. Their other readily available albums (essentially everything except The Love Movement) is properly spread across 2 LPs.is the pressing of the low end theory as bad as midnight is
that's the only reason I'm unsure about it
