Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

I’m just still needing a definite answer on whether Actual Facts in the damn thing lol

I don't really understand why it is arguably one of the most important. Isn't the message just sex shouldn't be taboo and you could get an STD? Not like it was the first hip hop song to do that. Certainly a good message though.

It was ground breaking at the time and amazing that a message like that was getting airplay at all. You gotta remember this was in the height of the AIDS epidemic which had a decidedly fear campaign approach to it up to that point.

Its hugely groundbreaking.

I'll have to give mine another spin then. Maybe I'm just disappointed by it that much more because that's one of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time haha. The Neptunes production is phenomenal

Best hiphop album of the 2000s for me personally

I've always found people prefer this over anything else Travis has done. I've got a bootleg of it. I personally prefer his 3 studio albums

That KMD one I linked was 4 years earlier and was on the hot 100. It is a little more naive perhaps, implying you would be ok if you went to the doctor, which obviously wasn't the case with AIDS, but I think that's understandable given the year. Still at least a good thing to advocate for people to go to the doctor. There were other warning songs in hip hop advocating safe sex or at least being careful but probably didn't chart, like BDP Jimmy, which at least charted for the album.

I'm not saying it wasn't great that they used their fame for that.

After a month of frantic guessing and teeth gnashing, I guess knowing from the get-go it’s Fishscale would be nice.

 

[Jmcg85]

Fishscale is awesome

 

[dirty hands]

You guys were given an inch and you’ve taken a mile

 

[supahypeag]

It’s gonna be Coolio

 

[dhodo]

Probably Ghostdini

 

[NewsFedora]

Some more tinfoil hat conspiracy theory: all of the Ghostface tweets from the impromptu twitter AMA the other day have been deleted. Including the quote retweet of someone guessing Fishscale.

Oh shit haha damn. Well that would be dope if it ends up being Fishscale but I'm still not believing its even GFK until we get another clue. It would be someone affiliated with him. I'm also still hoping it's Apollo Kids. I wouldn't mind if it was Wu-Massacre as well.
