Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

[Jdiddlydawg]

I'm just gonna chuck out these wild guesses:
1996 - Mobb Deep - Hell on Earth
1989 - Kool G Rap & Polo - Road to the Riches
2012 - Billy Woods - History Will Absolve Me

 

[avecigrec]

MC Breed could be a nice choice for '96

 

[NewsFedora]

Two more 1996 choices:

Westside Connection - Bow Down
Geto Boys - The Resurrection

 

[frodo-pkt]

1996 has SO many choices but De La Soul Stakes is High is on there. Seeing that VMP have been open to repeating artists on ROTM and De La now having rights to their music and able to profit off of it, I'll stay optimistic but realistically pessimistic. Hell would be a perfect time for VMP to now repress all the De La albums and get them the $$ they rightfully deserve.

Just bought BM off a member here but would love another shot at DLSID and get Stakes if they do that

For the love of god - I hope it's Bow Down.

These may be the only two guesses I've seen so far that would make me stick around for RHH.

There are a lot of great records that came out in 89 and 96 (nothing from 2012 jumping out at me but that's just me) and part of me is excited and the other part is looking at a pile of Mars Volta records and hoping they somehow fuck this up!

If 89 is Maestro Fresh Wes Symphony in Effect I may take a few things I've said about this company back...who am I kidding it's going to be Kwame and those damn polka dots!!!

If it's Maestro, they damn well better offer up a discount to Canadian subscribers.

I was just thinking of an all Canadian month for VMP and was wondering about RHH and hating the idea of Drake but by god I think you got it.

Essentials: either Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Stars, New Pornographers, BNL or OLP (all pressings are shit apparently). The hip would be lovely but hard to market outside of Canada.

Classics: Gordon Lightfoot or Oscar Peterson

Country: Shania Twain or Colter Wall

RHH: Maestro or Kardinal?

And just like the contest, this month won't be available to non US residents

Wild guesses:

1989: How about Paul's Boutique?
1996: Westside Connection, or maybe 2-Pac?
2012: Death Grips

 

[Plumcrazyfx]

Hope for De La; expect Kid Rock.

I think there is a 50% chance 89 has some kind of Marley Marl connection: Kool G Rap and DJ Polo, Heavy D, BDK. But I'm hoping for the first Gang Starr album.

 

[Melt Face Molly Drop]

2012: Death Grips

Would definitely be down for The Money Store

This is the jackpot.

I think there's been some speculation that for RSD 2022 they are going to repress the black/white split variant of The Money Store that was released way back for RSD 2012 when the album first came out (10th anniversary I suppose?) What this means for the likelihood of VMP getting their hands on a variant, I don't know, but it's something to consider.

Did anyone get a flat copy of Clipse? Mine was an all timer of a warp.

My second copy was, but the first one was terrible

So Jan is E-40 Tha Hall Of Game

 

[4080]

Feb is going to be DOC? Could be Ice-T or (long shot) Divine Styler but will probably be Young MC...
