Yes we can all agree big boi is goat and it better be big boi xD
I actually signed up for it because it was on my list of albums to buy and I was afraid I would miss it or have to pay more, like I did with Noname. I haven't gone back to it a ton though, I should.That Saba record never clicked for me. I gave it multiple attempts based on the hype and personally never got it. It’s was too downbeat and and dour to keep my attention and nothing about it made me want to relistem to it (beyond trying to understand the hype) it was a release I actually ended up swapping even though I knew it was going to shoot up in value because it was something that I could never see myself listening to.
I don't know if there are any "modern classics" that year really. I think the only one I've even heard up for debate is Kanye and we know it isn't that. I agree with some that modern classic is a dumb term anyway, but still.I feel it will be Big Boi. I've already got it on colour vinyl and CD but I'll take a VMP version. Just wish of all the Def Jam "modern classics" it was something else entirely. Big boi album is tier 2 in that bracket if "modern classic" is what storf labelled it
Agreed. The way Storf made it sound over on Reddit, i does not seem likely they will ever expand beyond the three tracks. He made it sound like the 3 existing tracks were almost too much work. Made it seem as though you be more likely to see more “Anthologies” than new tracks.I think they should do more for hiphop.
Start a "Classic" Hiphop track with just hiphop before 1995
Then with regular hiphop focus on hard to get stuff/mix it with fresh stuff kinda like what we get now.
Cause we can never have enough hiphop and what hiphop fan doesnt like hiphop before 95?

Yeah kanye is the only 2010 worthy of that moniker. I am really hoping its Apollo Kids but doubtful. If we live in an era were modern classic is a term or classic is getting thrown about so freely then as far as def jam goes vmp really should of got MNIMN imoI don't know if there are any "modern classics" that year really.

I believe Storf said one of them was right prior to me guessing U.F.O. The Reddit post with the guesses was edited after Storf posted that comment.
I’m with youI think they should do more for hiphop.

I missed out on VMPs ZUU . Grabbed a copy on Amazon. Thought it was going to be standard black but it’s a pretty sweet Emerald green color.Actually really looking forward to these this month View attachment 13951
Oh yeah that's awesomeI missed out on VMPs ZUU . Grabbed a copy on Amazon. Thought it was going to be standard black but it’s a pretty sweet Emerald green color.
mmmm I hear you! I also agree that it’s a bit of a shame Mick Jenkins never put anything great out after The Water(s). I was really excited for his debut album, especially after he did that Drowning single with BadBadNotGood, but his debut studio album was bloated and unfocused.People can say he is derivative if they want, but in my opinion he put out an album better than anything Chance or Mick Jenkins have done in the last 5 years. I'm bummed that Mick never put out a properly trimmed down album that hit the highs of the water(s)
Chance never really did it for me at all though and Saba clicked for some reason.
Hey wingclipper! Like Westside Gunn or just the label?Hey Nate Dogg, do you like Griselda?
Westside Gunn, I like him because of Supreme Blientele. I think his eccentric and very caricature delivery fitted well with the 70’s soul-inspired production. It actually all sounds sick and haunted, but so flavourful. But everything else Westside Gunn has released, I’ve found it unmemorable. With Conway, I wasn’t digging his 2018 album - Everybody is F.O.O.D. The production was bland, and the overall project was forgettable.Yeah like WSG, Benny, Conway.

With Westside’s Gunn album that recently came out, I just didn’t care much for it. I’m not going to really be anticipating Westside Gunn’s next album because I can’t imagine him really doing something special.
I don’t know, I don’t care much for Griselda. Supreme Blientele was special though!
