Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

[Murfocakes]

You made me go and look to see if Jill Jones’ debut got reissued. I got a boost in energy and was super excited!!! But...I don’t see anything?

I love Jill Jones’ debut! Prince’s production on that record was incredible and ‘G Spot’ is one sexy, funny, tasty track that really hits the spot. I remember listening to that song on repeat back then

I don’t have Jill Jones’ self-titled on vinyl but I will have it one day. I don’t have Vanity 6’s self-titled on vinyl either but I need to grab it! There’s so much sex appeal in those albums, I should’ve already had them by now. It’s just that neither of them have been reissued.....

Hoping 2020 RSD sees either of them two getting reissued on coloured vinyl like The Time’s ‘What Time Is It?’ and ‘Pandemonium’ RSD releases!

What Time Is It? was a RSD release 2 years ago.

But yes, Jill Jones is a classic.

Yeah! And it sounds really good! One of my favourite RSD releases

i dont think this album was a great introduction to the roots

its very... backpackery... like it feels too elite and too snobby in a way


like i a hundred percent get why they are jimmy fallons band

 

[mitchwagz]

The Roots record’s that I would prefer to “How I Got Over”

Phrenology
The Roots Comes Alive
Things Fall Apart
Illadelph Halflife
Do You Want More?!!!??!
Game Theory

“How I Got Over” is extremely Okay.

When is Phrenology going to get the reissue it deserves?

Phrenology is the only one on that list that needs a decent reissue.

 

[NewsFedora]

Phrenology would absolutely be an Essentials release if VMP ever got the green light for it.

 

[duke86fan]

if it was phrenology i would probably be more into this choice...


the first (non intro) song is a banger

I wonder why it keeps getting ignored. That’s probably my favorite Roots album, partially because it’s the first one I ever owned.

 

[Jonathan Y]

I’m really tempted to buy the Roots on Amazon, save the pick to swap for something not so easily available.

Lotta good swaps coming from the exclusive section *hopefully*

[DK3]

One of my all time favorite Roots songs

 

[Clint Howard]

Great song but I think I still prefer Cody's original.

Did you just shade The Roots?

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Slightly off topic but I also love me some Cody ChesnuTT and Headphone Masterpiece.


I am not gonna lie, cuz I look good in leather too.

 

[duke86fan]

phrenology bangs but not this album

thats the important question

does it bang

do i have fun listening (and fun doesn't mean just bangers all the time... as in like am i invested, am i liking the beats, is the flow nice)

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Cody is a bad Mother Fucker. He looks just as cool peacocking around the stage during a Strokes performance as he does singing the chorus in a Roots video...

 

[radiodead]

Pretty sure Questlove confirmed that a few of their records will never get a proper pressing now because the masters were destroyed in the Universal Fire

Trying to form an early plan of attack if I grab the Roots and Paul Cauthen from Amazon for about $30 total, I’ll have money for 3 vmps. I’m thinking Mariah, lil Kim and there’s a few I’m looking at for a 3rd. Of course like Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan til they get punched in the face.
