Rap recs
« on: July 29, 2011, 02:11:04 PM »
So I only own one rap album on vinyl, 36 chambers, and I don't really know where to get more.  Most all hip hop and rap sections in record stores only have the radio promos that have like 5 versions of the same song. Either that or the record I'm looking for came out when vinyl was dead and all I can find is over priced represses, which are still not very common. Anybody have a good outlet for this or am I alone in my desire to blast thug shit?

Most interested in early 90's shit (bonethugs, brothalynch, gravediggaz, souls of mischief, etc)

first EP that came out when Eazy E was co producing and the following first full length are hard as fuck. Everything else is mostly just r n b garbage fuck jamsz.  But you definitely seem to have some opinion...

never heard the first stuff, but i remember that by the time i heard of them they were the biggest group in the u.s. all the kids were talking about how they great they were, and when i checked them out i was mortified with an idiocracy type world view, and the sick feeling that hip-hop was dead.

Creepin On Ah Come Up is cool

I've only found a few early 90s rap LPs for decent prices.  Ultramagnetic MCs...Showbiz and AG...stuff like that...for like 6-9 bucks.

Joe also dislikes Biggie Smalls.

The only hip-hop distro I know of is undergroundhiphop.com

Dusty Groove carries a lot of hip-hop, too, but not much of the thuggish shit.

i listened to that creepin song and it's as awful as i imagined.

i like plenty of biggie actually. gimme the loot is the shit! and embarrassingly i got into him through the notorious movie. i don't like any of the smooth stuff he did, but he did the boom bap perfectly when he wanted to.

by the way, the version i know of "loot" is harder than this one:

can you point me to the mix you think i'm looking for?

Glad you've come around on Biggie.  I remember you saying on here a while back that you couldn't hang.  But I dismissed him for the longest time, too, based on most of the shit that was all over the radio and MTV back in the day.

What mix?

i was digging at a local record shop the other day and found a huge stash of early 90s rap 12" singles, picked out a big stack, NOT FOR SALE.  shitty.  put a blanket over that shit or stick it in the back room.

Always hated that Last Sons of Kypton shit. Used tons of 'em when I was a kid for skeet shooting.

Early 90s G-Rap is the best shit. However, I care more about TAPES! Underground or otherwise. 7"s are to PUNK, what TAPES are to Early-90s G-Rap.
