Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Which one?
Sorry. Metamodern Sounds.
I canceled my membership so I'm not sure if it's still there for swaps. Dood & Juanita was definitely there, and if that was the one you're looking at I'd definitely tell you not to waste a swap on it, just get it elsewhere.

I got nothing against the next three Essentials albums at all as they're all solid enough picks. But I'm also thinking I'm looking a three straight swaps... which I have never done before. Going with Lightnin' Hopkins for April, likely Doug Sahm in May, and definitely Johnny Taylor in June. Hoping they come up with picks I'll be more into come July.

Some pretty solid pick across all tracks this round. ATCQ, Justice, Doug Sahm, UGK, Boogaloo Joe Jones and Lil Uzi Vert are all stuff I'd love to add to my collection. But at $60 a month as an international subscriber, I'll have to pass. I hope to pick up at least Sahm and ATCQ on Discogs at a reasonable price some time.

Nope. Nothing in VMP history has indicated that they are unwilling to press multiple records by a single artist or group. I would almost argue that Low End Theory being an Essential release makes it more likely that more ATCQ ROTM and/or exclusives are possible..

Midnight Marauders should have been an essential before Low End Theory but they can totally save it for a Native Tongues Anthology...

They are both classics.

MM may be in more need of a reissue, but yeah I don't know that I could pick my favorite between the two. They are both pretty much perfect.

Totally agree!
You can't go wrong with either one I just think MM is a little better... And I LOVE Tribe Called Quest! Honestly at some point I just considered therm just one long double album!! What is really an accomplishment was how fucking good We Got it From Here is!!!

Daaamn. These jerks are gonna get more money from me for ATCQ. I’ve rejoined twice very briefly and been disappointed both times. The only good thing about joining for Wu Tang was getting that bbng x doom 10”

In for Tribe, but need to spend more time with Justice to know if I will revisit it enough. Aaliyah is a hard swap for me.

Samesies. Swapped Aaliyah for Doug Sahm.

Yeah, I think I’m gonna sign up for 3 months of essentials, swap for Aaliyah for Doug Sahm, keep Tribe and then swap Justice for Pharcyde. it’s more than I wanna spend but ultimately those are 3 albums that I would be very happy with.

Now I just need VMP - or anyone for that matter - to press ATCQ The Love Movement.

It’s gotta happen eventually. Hopefully we can get some Q-Tip solo albums reissued too while we are at it.
