Lizzo seems like a safe bet for a VMP album at some point if not this month. I'm hoping for Maxo, Benny, Cordae, or ROTD3 though.
Benny?
YESSSSSSS
No way life is that cool tho

I don’t want to sound defensive but I didn’t mean it like that. I was more referring to their outdated sound being “old”, but I still shouldn’t have worded it like thatI absolutely hate this perspective. The idea that someone is "too old" for hip hop is really de-legitimizing to the genre. Hip Hop as a genre is in it's 40s now. So people who are 40+ can no longer make the music? People who grew up with and within the genre are supposed to listen to 20 year olds rapping their whole lives? In my opinion, that's really small-minded. This is the kind of mindset that keeps Andre 3000 from actually releasing a project.
Benny?

What Benny hasn't got the vinyl treatment yet?

I doubt it will be Tyler, The Creator or BROCKHAMPTON. I don’t think they’re great choices either, especially as they both had exclusive pressings and are very well-known. If neither had a pressing yet, then they would be excellent picks and it would be a Monster R&HH ROTM for VMP - especially Tyler, The Creator!In order of what I'd love most to whatever:
Slauson
LB
Slowthai
Tyler
Dreamville
Brockhampton
Kevin Ab
literally everything else.
I mite ask Slauson on twitter if its him cause I'm 99% sure it's not him

Man, I'm sure I'm in the minority but Little Brother have never done anything for me. Always viewed them as A Tribe Called Light. Never really was a fan of 9th Wonder's FL beats either.
Yah you are gonna need to explain what about the sound is outdated and "old". Mature and adult themes does not mean outdated. The production on the album is exceptional and features a pretty dope list of producers including Khrysis and Nottz from The Soul Council. The sound is absolutely a step forward (not saying better necessarily) from their last album The Minstrel Show and it fits the themes of the album perfectly. I mean it pretty much sounds like exactly what I would hope Little Brother would sound like in 2019, which is an incredible accomplishment for a group that hasn't put out music in over a decade.
I'm not sure exactly what was meant by step forward. I think it reflects where they are now in their life versus then then well.I like the new album and love their earlier output, but I don’t agree that it is a step forward from the Minstrel show(which is not their last album). I will always prefer these guys over some 9th wonder production, personally.
