Hip Hop

Overpriced, not mastered for vinyl, no quality control and without the artists blessing/no money for the artists.

Yeah, hard pass like every other bootleg in the last 10+ years.
I wish Brockhampton would release them properly, whether individually or as a box set. They’d be printing silly money. Unless there are sample clearance/Ameer issues.

That’s where these bootleggers get people. Same with pressing mixtapes (FBZ, Mac, etc...) they find ones that artists have said we most likely won’t see a pressing for and then rush one out. I mean these are Alchemist/Bronson prices but at least Alchemist had a say in what got sent to the press, if that makes sense?

If you grab one I hope it works out, just be wary and don’t get your hopes up if you do.

It does make sense. Though at least in the UK they’re only) £25 a pop, not hiked up in price like those WaxTrax eBay listings! I’ve bought a few bootlegs before because official pressings will never come and some sounded surprisingly good while some were properly unlistenable and were binned off immediately.

Undecided if I‘ll pick these up though. Might hold fire and let some other folk guinea pig them first haha.
 
Not yet. Just saw this post on Facebook and thought I should share it here.


I can't seem to find it on my Spotify so I was curious....What if it's happening next Friday and somebody spilled the deets!?!? Friday the 13th would be a perfect day for a Black Hippy drop!

The wait is over, kids.

Legendary rapper and producer El-P has announced an extensive reissue campaign of his full solo catalog via independent powerhouse Fat Possum Records, who released his last album Cancer 4 Cure in 2012. The campaign kicks off today with the digital release of I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, available on streaming services for the very first time since its initial release in 2007 on El-P’s own iconic record label Definitive Jux. A masterpiece of progressive rap music, ISWYD features collaborations with friends and peers Trent Reznor, Mars Volta, Cat Power and more, in addition to musical contributions from James McNew (Yo La Tengo), guitarist Matt Sweeney, and the late Ikey Owens. El Producto’s trademark cosmic boom-bap production style is wrapped in sophisticated musicality and textured composition, paired with razor sharp, insightful rhymes that are equally dystopian, humorous, and poetic, charting a path for a generation of artists to follow in his footsteps.

Long before his rise to fame with powerhouse rap duo Run the Jewels, El-P was a titan of independent hip-hop as both a rapper and producer, beginning with his founding of the pioneering group Company Flow, who first rose to prominence in the underground of NYC’s 90s golden era and then as the first major release from the legendary Rawkus Records. Their only album, the hugely lauded and successful Funcrusher Plus, set a benchmark for independent rap and remains one of the most influential pieces of rap music to come out of the era. El-P subsequently went on to launch the iconic label Definitive Jux, where he released his solo music while also introducing fellow groundbreaking artists Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, RJD2, and more to the world. El-P’s aesthetic, pairing a futuristic and abrasive production style with insightful, often prescient subject matter, paved the way for the generations that followed in his wake, rendering it even more relevant now than ever.

Stay tuned for what to expect in 2020, and please visit
