Vinyl Me Please Rap & Hip Hop

[Jonathan Y]

Magna carta is a really bad album imo. The rest are awesome but I think only RTJ could perhaps top it for best album of 2013. Doris close too

yeah I agree I just got to give you crap cuz you don't pop in very often

Which reminds me another month goes by and still no Jesus Piece pressing

My Name is My Name would be dope and I would love to see it as the RHH pick. But I am a little skeptical of this being as big as the Outkast release. I could maybe see it being Watch the Throne or Yeezus, since I don't think those would fit in Essentials as well as the rest of Kanye's work. The only artists with Def Jam releases this decade that I see being on a similar level as Outkast are Kanye, Jay-Z, The Roots, Frank Ocean, and maaaybe Push. Probably missing a couple, though.

Rated R would probably be on that level with the masses.

Yeah I agree about Yeezus and Watch the Throne I was trying to make that point but who knows!

I would personally love Yeezus. My boot is missing Bound 2. Definitely wouldn't mind an affordable copy of Watch The Throne either!!!!!!

If they chuck rihanna into the rap/hip hop track my brain will explode.. in what universe do those things become 1

Yah I could see that, would be an interesting choice for RHH though. Also, I thought storf said this decade, which I took to mean 2010 - present and Rated R came out in 2009. But I could be wrong on that assumption.

Erykah Badu was a R/HH pick

edit: and I had no issue with it. Erykah Badu and Rihanna both kick ass. That sub should be happy it gets dope ass woman like them.

 

[Believer101]

so your saying it could be Jhené Aiko :O id love that lol

I don't see the problem here. Hip Hop as a whole is a wide net.

Yea I always considered her hip hop/R&B

Definitely more hip hop than a traditional R&B singer imo

I haven't been this excited for a VMP release since the HBMS De La Soul month (even though much of the hype was around getting a colored pressing of Prince Among Thieves lol)

Crazy month

Storf basically confirmed another Outkast album will be coming to Essentials. I think that can take Big Boi out of the running for RHH.

I hope they do ATLiens or Aquemini. I'm set on another Stankonia pressing

The Newbury variant is at the very top of my want list.

You mean the RSD release? Didn’t know Newbury did anything special with Stank. Would love a repress of ATLiens though.

 

[Jdiddlydawg]

I seem to remember Storf postin a few months ago that whatever Outkast Essential they pick will fit with the VMP goal of reissuing the album after the celebrated classic...and then said it would be Stankonia because it followed ATLiens. Can't find the comment though, maybe he deleted it because he had the timeline wrong or because it gave away a future rotm?
