The cover here displays this descent with an updated picture of the rapper's teenage home, first featured on the MM LP of 2000 but now boarded up, and yet this 8 Mile child cares much more about the present than the past, as this vicious, infectious, hilarious triumph is no nostalgia trip, just the 2013 version of Marshall the experienced maverick on a tear, dealing with the current state of events and kicking up dust with his trademark maniac attack while effortlessly juggling his over-40 wisdom with stuff you'd slap a teenager for saying. Key cut \"Rap God\" is the quintessential track as it blasts out homophobic cut-downs and other inexcusable lyrics, because Marshall's the \"Dale Earnhardt of the trailer park,\" but \"I still rap like I'm on my Pharoahe Monch grind,\" and suddenly his Stan Lee-like origin story begins to take shape. Marshall is a super villain so familiar with hate and depression, he's powered by all shades of anger. Be it pissing off the neighbors (rocking the house with a some Beastie Boys and Billy Squier samples on the Rick Rubin-produced party starter \"Bezerk\") or being threatened by critics (and his biggest ever, too, as \"Bad Guy\" revisits the MM LP character \"Stan\" via his revenge-obsessed brother Matthew), it all feeds into his super nova, and it's a unique spectacle when it explodes. It does so gloriously on the stately arena rap anthem \"Survival,\" which injects the listener with martial beats and a pre-game pep talk worth hearing. \"Asshole\" takes the decidedly low road to destruction, slapping girls \"off the mechanical bull, at a tractor pull\" while using controversy to make the front page, then offering the idea that he's \"white America's mirror, so don't feel awkward or weird,\" because there's no sense in leaving the sewer if you don't crawl out enlightened. Love it or hate it, nourishing his same old murder fantasies is what drives Eminem to make the vital music found here, and yet there's room for polished and clever frivolity on the album. The grand \"Love Game\" with Kendrick Lamar whips a Wayne Fontana \"Game of Love\"-sample into a thrilling swagger cut, while \"So Far.\" re-edits Joe Walsh's \"Life's Been Good\" so the Madden and MP3 generation can also understand the sweet irony of mansions filled with Kool-Aid-stained couches. Silly, manipulated voices and all, \"The Monster\" with Rihanna offers insight with its \"I get along with the voices inside my head\" attitude, then \"Headlights\" ups the game and offers mom an apology, referencing his earlier hit \"Cleaning Out My Closet\" and explaining it as an angry and irresponsible moment. Funny thing is, most of the best moments on MM LP2 are just as angry, and just as irresponsible, but like \"Closet,\" this is the tortured soul and self-reliance ninja known as Eminem at his very best. ~ David Jeffries\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1\/21\/2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eminem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751411114157,"sku":"8IMPM6-BLVW-00","price":42.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Eminem-Marshall-Mathers-Vinyl_L2uK4.jpg?v=1741478158"},{"product_id":"tyler-the-creator-igor-150-gram-vinyl-gatefold-vinyl","title":"Tyler, The Creator Igor (150 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold) Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eTyler, The Creator | Igor (150 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold) | Vinyl | 10\/04\/2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/04\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tyler, The Creator","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751424319661,"sku":"EYGESB-L751-00","price":28.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Tyler-The-Creator-Igor-150-Gram-Vinyl-Gatefold-Vinyl_kcOSr.jpg?v=1741187968"},{"product_id":"n-w-a-straight-outta-coex-vinyl","title":"N.W.A.

As a fan of rap and its associated culture, Post delivers with moderate respect, careful not to toe the precarious line over which others like Iggy Azalea and Riff Raff have stumbled. Although he plays guitar and is influenced by Tim McGraw as much as Kanye West, Stoney is mostly devoid of that country twang, save for some outlaw grit on \"Broken Whiskey Glass\" and faint strumming on \"Go Flex\" (bonus track \"Leave\" actually captures his true cross-genre nature best). Mostly, that part of his background only comes through when he chooses to sing. Those tracks -- notably \"No Option\" and \"I Fall Apart\" -- work best, featuring strong vocals that quiver when he pushes it to the limit. Guest vocalists and producers like Kehlani (\"Feel\"), River Tiber (\"Cold\"), Pharrell Williams (\"Up There\"), and Quavo and Metro Boomin (\"Congratulations\") bolster Stoney with both atmosphere and credibility, while tourmate Justin Bieber increases the star power on the sweet \"Cha-Cha\"\/\"Hotline Bling\"-esque \"Deja Vu.\" On the aptly titled Stoney, Post Malone provides an appropriate soundtrack for a certain type of recreational rest and relaxation. ~ Neil Z.

Artists from Kid Cudi to A$AP Mob were coming at the genre from all sorts of new angles, but with their feet firmly in the rap camp; then producer Travis Scott came along, sounding like Chief Keef but with a much broader brush, offering an attractive version of acid rap that landed him on Kanye West's GOOD Music label with a debut album that's so 2015 it features the ultra-hip trifecta of Future, the Weeknd, and Justin Bieber. Make those three a Venn diagram and Scott is the man in the middle, wonderfully weird and as stylish-sounding as the first two, and yet with a slick appeal that crosses over like Bieber, which is the biggest problem for detractors: it's all for show with no filling. Still, with lines like \"Always kept my city on me like it was a Swatch\" and \"My dick longer than a Pringle box\" over beats that honor and match edgy acts like Death Grips (the raw \"Piss on Your Grave\" featuring Kanye West) and Future (who appears alongside 2 Chainz on the sprawling highlight \"3500\"), Rodeo is an absurd wonder that thankfully works. That's up to and including Bieber, Young Thug, and Scott's bedroom brain-burner \"Maria I'm Drunk,\" which is the ultra sheen of Taylor Swift with the lust of Miguel experienced via shrooms. \"Wasted\" sounds like Juicy J did an album for Stones Throw, \"Flying High\" with Toro y Moi borrows some of Slave's \"Slide\" so the indie party people get an anthem, then the very big \"90210\" travels across decades' worth of film soundtrack styles while sampling the late Pimp C as T.I. narrates. Weird that T.I. doesn't rap, and weirder still that Scott barely produces on this album, handing it over to returning and like-minded collaborators like Metro Boomin, Ultra$ound, and Mike Dean. His executive producer credit, however, is on point as the aesthetics of his early work are all here, and with \"We designed our love, around these drugs\" being the album's most profound lyrical moment, he may not be Nas, but he may be Warhol. As Kanye and Gaga try to bridge the gap between pop and art, this artist thrives in the chasm. Like Warhol said, \"I love plastic, I want to be plastic,\" and with Rodeo, Travis Scott becomes a designer drug. ~ David Jeffries\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/06\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Travis Scott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751458005165,"sku":"OWX3R7-G8RZ-00","price":31.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Travis-Scott-Rodeo-Vinyl_xyx0P.jpg?v=1741728916"},{"product_id":"future-high-off-life-pa-2-lp-140g-vinyl-vinyl","title":"Future High Off Life (PA) (2 LP) (140g Vinyl) Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eRELEASE DATE: 07\/31\/2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/31\/2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Future","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751460102317,"sku":"VBGBUM-0NVF-00","price":28.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Future-High-Off-Life-PA-2-LP-140g-Vinyl-Vinyl_AMrgz.jpg?v=1742068938"},{"product_id":"kendrick-lamar-untitled-unmastered-vinyl","title":"Kendrick Lamar Untitled Unmastered Vinyl","description":"Issued without advance notice 17 days after Kendrick Lamar's riveting 2016 Grammy Awards performance, untitled unmastered. consists of eight demos that are simply numbered and dated. Apart from segments previewed at the Grammys and late-night television appearances, there was no formal promotion. A postscript, it's (artfully) artless in presentation -- not even basic credits appear on the Army green liner card in the compact disc edition -- yet it's almost as lyrically and musically rich as To Pimp a Butterfly. The dates indicate that the majority of the material was made during the sessions for that album, and the presence of many of its players and vocalists is unmistakable. This was assembled with a high level of care that is immediately evident, its components sequenced to foster an easy listen. Track-to-track flow, however, is about the only aspect of this release that can be called smooth. After an intimate spoken intro from Bilal, the set segues into an urgent judgment-day scenario with squealing strings and a resounding bassline as Lamar confronts mortality and extinction with urgent exasperation. He observes terrifying scenes all the while sensing possible relief (\"No more running from world wars,\" \"No more discriminating the poor\"). untitled unmastered. offers this and other variations on the connected themes of societal ills, faith, and survival that drove the output it follows, with Lamar at his best when countering proudly materialistic boasts with ever-striking acknowledgments of the odds perilously weighted against his people. Remarkably, this hits its stride in the second half. The stretch involves a rolling, ornamented retro-contemporary production from Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (with vocal assists from Bilal and Cee Lo Green), a stitched suite that is alternately stern and humorously off the cuff (featuring Egypt, five-year-old son of Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, as co-producer and vocalist), and a finale of Thundercat-propelled funk. Even while coasting over the latter's breezy and smacking groove, Lamar fills the space with meaning, detailing a confrontation with sharp quips and stinging reprimands. While Lamar referred to these tracks as demos, and not one of them has the pop-soul appeal of \"These Walls\" or the Black Lives Matter protest-anthem potential of \"Alright,\" untitled unmastered. is no mere offcut dump. It's as vital as anything else its maker has released. ~ Andy Kellman\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/27\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kendrick Lamar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751467737261,"sku":"10NSPV-HSKE-00","price":31.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Kendrick-Lamar-Untitled-Unmastered-Vinyl_mCm8A.jpg?v=1741187693"},{"product_id":"dr-dre-2001-2-lp-vinyl","title":"Dr. Dre 2001 [2 LP] Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Dr. Dre | 2001 [2 LP] | Vinyl | Release Date: 11\/15\/2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/15\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dr. Dre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751490937005,"sku":"KRGV3U-37M5-00","price":42.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Dr-Dre-2001-2-LP-Vinyl_Jlj7r.jpg?v=1741187919"},{"product_id":"eminem-relapse-vinyl-vinyl","title":"Eminem Relapse [Vinyl] Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Eminem | Relapse [Vinyl] | Vinyl | Release Date: 05\/26\/2009\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/26\/2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eminem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751491166381,"sku":"QYM1IM-N73R-00","price":42.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Eminem-Relapse-Vinyl-Vinyl_Vtjrr.jpg?v=1742067643"},{"product_id":"fugees-the-score-vinyl","title":"Fugees THE SCORE Vinyl","description":"Fugees (Refugee Camp): Lauryn Hill, Prakazrel \"Pras,\" Wyclef.\nAdditional personnel: Garfield \"Gus\" Parkinson (vocals); Red Alert, Ras Baraka (spoken vocals); Handel Tucker (keyboards); Robbie Shakespeare (bass); Sly Dunbar (drums, programming); John Forte (programming); Backspin (scratches); Forte, Omega, Diamond D, Pace 1, Young Zee, Ra Digga.\nProducers include: Wyclef, Shawn King, Lauryn Hill, Salaam Remi, John Forte.\nRecorded at The Booga Basement Studio, East Orange, New Jersey; The Crib and Quad Studios, New York, New York; Anchor Recording Studios, Kingston, Jamaica.\nTHE SCORE won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, and \"Killing Me Softly\" won a 1997 Grammy for Best R\u0026amp;B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

The album was also nominated for Album Of The Year.\nOn their second album, the Fugees utilize a couple of the mid-'90s trends in hip-hop--cinematic construct and references to Asian fighting techniques. But THE SCORE transcends much of the genre's recent output, because it's as much about musicality as it is about beats. In fact, deep beats often take a back seat to tense, noir grooves. More importantly, all three rappers--Haitian males, Wyclef and Pras, and New Jerseyite female, Lauryn Hill--swing hard, syncopating around the beats like jazz instrumentalists, making THE SCORE a complex and challenging listen.\nTHE SCORE also boasts some of the most intelligent, non-exclusionary rhymes in recent memory. Wyclef claims to \"run through Crown Heights\/Screaming out Mazel Tov\" and Hill draws parallels between herself and both Nina Simone and Elliot Ness. Too politically astute and musically talented to fall into the ruts of rap cliches and dependence on overused samples, the Fugees are placing a significant, personalized stamp on the direction of hip-hop.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/02\/2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fugees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37751491887277,"sku":"XDMVB9-OR4Y-00","price":31.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Fugees-The-Score-Vinyl_tUbOa.jpg?v=1742067557"},{"product_id":"epmd-unfinished-business-vinyl","title":"Epmd Unfinished Business Vinyl","description":"EPMD: Erick Sermon, Parrish \"PMD\" Smith (vocals).\nAdditional personnel includes: K-Solo, Frank-B (vocals); Charlie Marotta (guitar); D.J.

As he laments\/boasts in the eight-minute slow-motion horror suite that is this album's title track, \"I got a brand new place\/I think I've seen it twice all year,\" and visits to his doctor have provided access to new ingredients for his indulgences. Indeed, this is a post-fame album. In \"The Town,\" Tesfaye apologizes to a local conquest for his absence and notes that he can supply her with diamond rings. The following \"Adaptation,\" where he grieves about losing a potential long-term relationship to his career, illustrates his transient lifestyle as a new source for madness. Although the circumstances and locations are different, the antics, along with the mix of emotional trauma and arrogance, are often similar to what Tesfaye depicted throughout his 2011 releases. Lyrics like \"I can't stand talking to brand new girls\/Only bitches down to fuck when you shower them with ones,\" also from \"Kiss Land,\" carry a deeper sense of realism. Sonically, the tracks -- produced with a new cast that includes DannyBoyStyles and DaHeala -- are a little cleaner, yet they're all leaden, even when the pace picks up for the Fox the Fox-sampling \"Wanderlust\" and the overloaded \"Belong to the World.\" The latter owes its industrial judder to Portishead's \"Machine Gun\" and is delivered like an anthem with Tesfaye desperately emoting, \"I'm not a fool, I just love that you're dead inside.\" For all its similarities to Tesfaye's past work, along with his confession that \"This ain't nothin' to relate to,\" Kiss Land is more personal, more human, and will draw his fans closer to him.

Then, Earl's mom decided he was an \"at risk\" kid (not because of his ugly, ugly music, but because he was \"getting in trouble\"), so off to the Coral Reef Academy in Samoa he went, quickly falling into the category of \"more of a legend than rapper\" as Odd Future broke out the \"Free Earl\" T-shirts with no other explanation for his absence. As such, his official debut falls into the category of \"highly anticipated,\" but the real story behind the murky and free-flowing -- almost globular -- Doris is that the morbid horror-show rapper heard previously has grown into an observational maverick-style artist, offering downtrodden and even dour rhymes that come off like MF Doom recounting his visit to the Grand Guignol. Swaying slowly with Tibetan monk vocals in the distance, the ghostly \"Hive\" with Vince Staples and Casey Veggies offers the vivid \"Come around we gun 'em down\/Bodies... piled... Auschwitz,\" while the Tyler, the Creator feature \"Whoa\" kicks off with the Odd Future leader declaring \"This ain't no 2010 sh*t,\" which Earl proves by dropping crooked rhymes about pot (\"Steaming tubes of poop and twisted doobies full of euphemisms\") and Harry Potter (\"Bruising gimmicks with the broom he usually use for Quidditch\"). MF Doom fans will be familiar with the style, and while the rumored Doom collaboration does not wind up on the final Doris, another obvious influence, RZA, is here, appearing on the aptly titled \"Molasses,\" a slow, rich mix of Wu-Tang and Wolf Gang flavors. Mac Miller's recent embrace of the underground pays dividends during the bent and broken \"Guild,\" while Frank Ocean influences Earl to sing his own blues on the great \"Sunday\" (\"Nightmares got more vivid when I stopped smoking pot\/And lovin' you's a little different, I don't like you a lot\"). Underneath all this mumbled madness are some truly wonderful sounds -- much of it made by Earl under his alias randomblackguy -- as \"Chum\" runs like an underground indie suite of excellent ideas while \"Centurion\" twists a Krautrock and Can sample into something thug and stately. All that said, Doris is unsettled, messy, and takes a bit to sort, but there are codes to crack and rich rewards to reap, so enter with an open mind and prepare to leave exhausted. ~ David Jeffries\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/11\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Earl Sweatshirt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752141938861,"sku":"L8HKJC-CGQC-00","price":23.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Earl-Sweatshirt-Doris-Vinyl_lLlYM.jpg?v=1742062055"},{"product_id":"daly-jon-abracadabralifornia-rsd-black-friday-11-27-2020","title":"Daly, Jon Abracadabralifornia (RSD Black Friday 11.27.2020) Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eDaly, Jon | Abracadabralifornia (RSD Black Friday 11.27.2020) | Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/27\/2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Daly, Jon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752204492973,"sku":"F2O66G-VT1T-00","price":11.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Daly-Jon-Abracadabralifornia-RSD-Black-Friday-11272020-_w4hdB.jpg?v=1742090462"},{"product_id":"non-phixion-future-is-now-vinyl","title":"Non Phixion FUTURE IS NOW Vinyl","description":"Non Phixion includes: Ill Bill, Goretex, Sabac Red (rap vocals); DJ Eclipse (turntables).\nAdditional personnel includes: Pete Rock, DJ Premier, The Beatnuts, Necro, MF Doom.\n\n.\nDebuting in the late 1990s with blazing hot singles \"Legacy\" and \"I Shot Reagan,\" the Brooklyn-based hardcore rap outfit Non-Phixion was already one of NY's most respected underground groups before they had a studio LP to their name.

Prince A.D. (DJ); Marlon Lawe, Tajuan Perry (background vocals).\nProducers include: Keith Spencer, Dale Hogan, Paul Shabazz, Kerwin \"Sleek\" Young.\nEngineers include: Large Professor, Josh \"White Boy\" Chervokas, Randy Battiste.\nContains sample from \"Somebody Owns A Piece Of The Rock\" (David Porter).\nOn their debut, Havoc and Prodigy tell the listener in all sorts of overconfident manners that there are few people out there who can mess with Mobb Deep. In fact, they do so in 14 different ways on Juvenile Hell. Mostly produced by Mobb Deep themselves, this album is rawness at an unrelenting pace, with an undeniable, relentless, and often irrational energy. The intro cut sets the mood as a warning, set to a \"Queens brand\" production. The tempo is kind of fast, but the bassline rolls to easily facilitate a strong head nod. The sampled horn stabs help to remind you that, after all, it's still music. Over this beat Prodigy cautions: \"It's called Juvenile Hell; you won't survive long.\" In the first few songs, Mobb acquaints the listener with the life of a \"frustrated and confused young juvenile\" living in Queens. Juvenile Hell is hardcore, but not void of musical pr creative effort and accomplishment; it's really cool, serious, and 100 percent hip-hop. Highlights include \"Flavor for the Non Believes,\" \"Peer Pressure,\" \"Stomp Em Out\" (featuring Big Noyd), and \"Hold Down the Fort.\" When Juvenile Hell was initially released, it didn't do so well in the stores. Perhaps it was the excess of threats and proclamations making up Juvenile Hell that kept buyers away in 1993, or maybe it was the label's inability to market this virulent project correctly. In any event, it's an album worthy of historical note. ~ Qa'id Jacobs\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/13\/2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mobb Deep","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752245846189,"sku":"6MUVR1-65SC-00","price":29.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Mobb-Deep-Juvenile-Hell-Vinyl_HFjAK.jpg?v=1741189129"},{"product_id":"carey-mariah-rainbow-vinyl","title":"Carey, Mariah Rainbow Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarey, Mariah | Rainbow | Vinyl | 11\/06\/2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/06\/2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Carey, Mariah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752247713965,"sku":"HFGBA5-89O7-00","price":33.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Carey-Mariah-Rainbow-Vinyl_Ltr8j.jpg?v=1742067962"},{"product_id":"j-dilla-donuts-smile-cover-vinyl","title":"J Dilla DONUTS LP Vinyl","description":"Donuts was made on a hospital bed and in a home studio, on a stripped-down setup with a stack of vinyl. Released on its maker's 32nd birthday, three days before he passed away, the album has a resonance deeper than anyone could've hoped for or even imagined. Some who were close to Dilla have said that there are hidden messages in the samples, the track titles, and who knows where else. It's impossible not to speculate about some things, like the track titled \"Don't Cry,\" the looped \"broken and blue\" from a version of \"Walk on By,\" the presence of Eddie Kendricks singing \"My people, hold on,\" or the fact that there are 31 tracks, a possible signal that Dilla survived a little longer than he expected. Then again, for every possible message, there are two or three elements that could've been designed to throw any analysis off its trail. After all, if there's one single image that the disc brings to mind, it's that of Dilla goofing off, having fun with some of his favorite records, and messing with some heads in the process. (And you could probably make the album's title out to be a metaphor for the circle of life, but sometimes a donut is just a donut.) Armed with sources that are either known to novice sample spotters or only the most seasoned diggers -- surprisingly, the former greatly outweighs the latter -- Dilla's also just as likely to leave his samples barely touched as he is to render them unrecognizable. It's fitting that Motown echoes, a predominant theme, are often felt, from the use of Dionne Warwick's Holland-Dozier-Holland-written \"You're Gonna Need Me\" (on \"Stop\"), to the shifting waves of percussion plucked from Kendricks' \"People... Hold On\" (on \"People\"), to the Stevie-like piano licks within Kool \u0026amp; the Gang's \"The Fruitman\" (\"The Diff'rence\"). Most of the tracks fall into the 60-90 second range. It's easy to be overwhelmed, or even put off, by the rapid-fire sequence, but it's astounding how so many of the sketches leave an immediate impression. By the third or fourth listen, what initially came across as a haphazard stream of slapped-together fragments begins to take the shape of a 44-minute suite filled with wistful joy. Like everything else Dilla has ever done, Donuts is not defining; in fact, elements of its approach bare the apparent influence of Jaylib collaborator Madlib. His mode has always been too slippery and restlessly progressive to be equated with any one track or album, but Donuts just might be the one release that best reflects his personality. ~ Andy Kellman\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP w\/ DL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/04\/2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"J Dilla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752252727469,"sku":"87UYL1-N9G1-00","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-J-Dilla-Donuts-Smile-Cover-Vinyl_xfp4E.jpg?v=1742099222"},{"product_id":"50-cent-massacre-the-2lp-vinyl","title":"50 Cent MASSACRE,THE (2LP) Vinyl","description":"After years of hustling for his music and his life, and taking bullet after bullet, 50 Cent finally found massive success raining down suddenly on him, as he became the center of the hip-hop world in 2003 with his multi-platinum record GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN'. On the highly anticipated follow-up, THE MASSACRE, 50 reveals that he's unsure whether he's \"God's child or Satan's angel,\" dropping this soul-searching moment as casually as the title in the chorus of the song, \"I'm Supposed to Die Tonight.\"\nIf 50 Cent is calm in his delivery, it's more than matched by the ease of the lyrical couplets he unfolds. He could beat most challengers to a freestyle battle in his sleep, and raps as if he's known this from birth, a truth he expounds on in \"This Is 50,\" as he effortlessly whips a rival. When partner-in-platinum-sales Eminem, drops by on \"Gatman and Robbin,\" 50 Cent shows he can bring the energy, but, for the most part, the rapper stays in his wonderfully jaded comfort zone. He smoothly packs the dance floor on the single \"Disco Inferno,\" before unwinding the most laid-back of seductions on \"Just a Lil Bit.\" If anyone thought 50 Cent might have burned out in his flurry of prosperity, THE MASSACRE, a strong sophomore effort, should set the record straight.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/26\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"50 Cent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752255250605,"sku":"JMCFU7-0GIB-00","price":37.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-50-Cent-MassacreThe-2LP-Vinyl_7e5Nm.jpg?v=1741695749"},{"product_id":"common-be-ex-vinyl","title":"Common BE (EX) Vinyl","description":"After fusing hip-hop, rock, and soul on 2002's THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS, Chicago rapper Common returned three years later with BE. Like its two-letter title, BE is much leaner, consisting of 11 pure hip-hop tracks marked by Common's enlightened, contemplative, easy-flowing lyrics. Although the album is more streamlined, it's not predictable or unoriginal, as the beats unfold with the same combination of rawness and melodic energy that made Kanye West's debut so uncommonly engaging. This is no coincidence--West is present throughout much of BE, producing all but two of the songs here. West even appears on one of the disc's highlights, \"The Food,\" with some expert freestyle rhyming as captured live on CHAPPELLE'S SHOW.\nCommon's confident, yet constantly searching, demeanor and his poetic instinct for just the right words bonds him to the heritage of hip-hop, a point hit home by the presence of rap legends the Last Poets on \"The Corner.\" Common is always slightly and endearingly unsure, and his self-deprecation seeps out on \"Love Is...\" and \"Faithful.\" However, he has the inner power to garner attention, as evident on the smooth party jam \"GO!\" (featuring John Mayer).

Marshall continued work on new material for years but was displeased with it, save for a set of mumbling-in-a-bucket hip-hop blues, A New Place 2 Drown, credited to his off-stage name. The Ooz, the artist's second King Krule album, surfaced -- or is that seeped out? -- five years after the first one. Compared to the debut, the songwriting is more refined and the sounds are more disparate, resulting in a sort of controlled chaos, a scuzzy mix of nervy neo-rockabilly projectiles, howling dirges, and noodling dive-lounge tunes. It's further distinguished with saxophonist Ignacio Salvadores' writhing bleats, continually in support of Marshall's scraggly guitar work and variety of voices, as liable to sound like his slumped natural self as an exaggeration of growling punks like the Clash's Paul Simonon or the Ruts' Malcolm Owen. Clear references are made to Marshall's previous full-lengths, and repeated allusions to water -- as in sinking -- as well as blue as a color and feeling, are likewise threaded throughout. Damp, suffocating city streets are never distant. When Marshall retreats to physical solitude, he can't leave his head -- not even with a prescription, a situation related in a whirling frenzy of insomniac agitation titled, naturally, \"Emergency Blimp.\" Marshall is just as expressive and evocative when he keeps it guttural; \"She smoked me whole and blows out Os,\" over decayed, dispirited bossa nova, passes like a wisp but could be the album's emotional center. Details that seem to provide levity -- \"Man this band that's playin', is playing fucking trash\" among them -- have a way of heightening the sense of inescapable dread. No matter that feeling, illustrated with one distressed scene after another, filtered through a multitude of inspirations and a few bodily fluids, The Ooz is a completely engrossing work from a one-off. ~ Andy Kellman\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Gatefold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/13\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"King Krule","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752280744109,"sku":"3K7P0Z-W1HR-00","price":43.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-King-Krule-Ooz-Vinyl_Sapxm.jpg?v=1741822627"},{"product_id":"lizzo-cuz-i-love-you-deluxe-edition-vinyl","title":"Lizzo Cuz I Love You (Deluxe Edition) Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Lizzo | Cuz I Love You | Deluxe Edition | Vinyl | Release Date: 09\/20\/2019 | Record Label: Atlantic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 09\/20\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lizzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752383930541,"sku":"TGIW0Y-474H-00","price":27.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Lizzo-Cuz-I-Love-You-Deluxe-Edition-Vinyl_Xol5P.jpg?v=1741193282"},{"product_id":"lauryn-hill-mtv-unplugged-2-0-vinyl","title":"Lauryn Hill MTV Unplugged 2.0 Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrand New Sealed | Lauryn Hill | Mtv Unplugged 2.0 | Vinyl | Release Date: 12\/07\/2018\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest Sellers: Top Seller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/07\/2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lauryn Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752386683053,"sku":"BBR99T-AO11-00","price":31.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Lauryn-Hill-Mtv-Unplugged-20-Vinyl_Wt4PC.jpg?v=1741905417"},{"product_id":"post-malone-beerbongs-bentleys-2lp-clear-vinyl-vinyl","title":"Post Malone beerbongs \u0026 bentleys [2 LP][Clear] Vinyl","description":"In the year and a half following his multi-platinum full-length debut, Post Malone continued his climb up the celebrity ladder, extending Stoney's success with the number one single \"rockstar\" and second-place follow-up \"Psycho.\" Those tracks landed on his chart-topping second effort, Beerbongs \u0026amp; Bentleys, which arrived in spring 2018. With a team of producers including Louis Bell, PartyNextDoor, Scott Storch, and London on da Track, the set benefits from livelier beats and varied atmospherics, especially when he steps outside of his narcotic comfort zone. \"Paranoid,\" \"Rich \u0026amp; Sad,\" and \"Jonestown (Interlude)\" offer peeks into this tortured soul, balanced by hedonistic odes to sex, drugs, and rap-rock \u0026amp; roll on tracks like \"Zack and Codeine,\" \"Takin' Shots,\" \"rockstar,\" and \"Same Bitches.\" Post fares well when he sticks to simple, relatable topics like love and heartbreak. Wading through the murky gloom, a handful of standouts reveal themselves on the latter half of the album. \"Otherside\" and \"Blame It on Me\" bleed like lost Auto-Tuned ruminations from 808s \u0026amp; Heartbreak, while the tender acoustic number \"Stay\" is Post's most natural offering here.

Vinyl","description":"NxWorries appeared in early 2015 on Stones Throw with \"Suede.\" Knxwledge provided the dazed production, its beat a clipped gait -- Gil Scott-Heron\/Brian Jackson's \"The Bottle\" stretched and dragged to support Anderson Paak's freewheeling vehicular exhibition and macking seminar. Dr. Dre then sought Paak for extensive work on Compton, while the rising Knxwledge produced \"Momma\" on To Pimp a Butterfly and released a Stones Throw album. As Paak and Knxwledge sustained their prominence with separate collaborative and solo work, their activity as a unit gradually escalated to this full-length, released during the fourth quarter of 2016. It includes \"Suede,\" two other cuts from an EP originally released as a download in late 2015, and 40 additional minutes of keenly bent and smudged soul loops. Though Paak is an accomplished musician and bandleader, as seen throughout 2016 in several televised performances to promote Malibu, he sticks strictly to singing and rapping, leaving Knxwledge to handle all the music. Reflective of their collaborative alias, Paak doesn't sound particularly bothered, apart from some irritation related in \"H.A.N.,\" a deflection of leeches and critics, and some serious concerns and confessions within the supremely dreamy \"Khadijah.\" Otherwise, he keeps it lighthearted as an irrepressible rolling stone. Audibly and lyrically coarse, he rarely sounds less than entirely self-satisfied and at least a little amused, whether he's dealing out wisecracking wordplay or quoting J Dilla as he deftly coasts over and darts between the beats. If not quite as substantive as Malibu, this is one of those albums that can be played continuously without risk of depreciation. Knxwledge and Paak are so occupied with other pursuits that this seems destined to take its place in the Stones Throw discography as one of the label's fine twosome one-offs in the manner of Madvillainy and Champion Sound. ~ Andy Kellman\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 72 hours for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JITRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/21\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nxworries \/ Knxwledge \/ Anderson Paak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752394678445,"sku":"MHJEA7-SZHG-00","price":31.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Nxworries-Knxwledge-Anderson-Paak-Yes-Lawd-Vinyl_sGDK5.jpg?v=1741190084"},{"product_id":"fugees-score-vinyl","title":"Fugees Score Vinyl","description":"Fugees (Refugee Camp): Lauryn Hill, Prakazrel \"Pras,\" Wyclef.\r\nAdditional personnel: Garfield \"Gus\" Parkinson (vocals); Red Alert, Ras Baraka (spoken vocals); Handel Tucker (keyboards); Robbie Shakespeare (bass); Sly Dunbar (drums, programming); John Forte (programming); Backspin (scratches); Forte, Omega, Diamond D, Pace 1, Young Zee, Ra Digga.\r\nProducers include: Wyclef, Shawn King, Lauryn Hill, Salaam Remi, John Forte.\r\nRecorded at The Booga Basement Studio, East Orange, New Jersey; The Crib and Quad Studios, New York, New York; Anchor Recording Studios, Kingston, Jamaica.\r\nTHE SCORE won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, and \"Killing Me Softly\" won a 1997 Grammy for Best R\u0026amp;B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

But THE SCORE transcends much of the genre's recent output, because it's as much about musicality as it is about beats. In fact, deep beats often take a back seat to tense, noir grooves. More importantly, all three rappers--Haitian males, Wyclef and Pras, and New Jerseyite female, Lauryn Hill--swing hard, syncopating around the beats like jazz instrumentalists, making THE SCORE a complex and challenging listen.\r\nTHE SCORE also boasts some of the most intelligent, non-exclusionary rhymes in recent memory. Wyclef claims to \"run through Crown Heights\/Screaming out Mazel Tov\" and Hill draws parallels between herself and both Nina Simone and Elliot Ness. Too politically astute and musically talented to fall into the ruts of rap cliches and dependence on overused samples, the Fugees are placing a significant, personalized stamp on the direction of hip-hop.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 12\/31\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fugees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752404181165,"sku":"GKKB1E-WX5A-00","price":43.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-Fugees-Score-Vinyl_YkQO5.jpg?v=1742114744"},{"product_id":"travis-scott-birds-in-the-trap-sing-mcknight-vinyl","title":"Travis Scott BIRDS IN THE TRAP SING MCKNIGHT (EXPLICI Vinyl","description":"Titled after one of Quavo's lines from the chirpy summertime 2016 hit co-billed to Travis Scott and Young Thug, this fitfully hypnotizing follow-up arrived after numerous delays, toward the end of the year's third quarter. \"Pick Up the Phone\" functioned as the lead single off Thug's JEFFERY, and it sensibly reappears here, buried in the latter half, de-emphasized yet not quite a tacked-on bonus. It's easily the track with the most pop appeal on Scott's second full-length. Released almost exactly a year after Rodeo, Birds in the Trap features little development, though the large company Scott keeps is quite different, and Metro Boomin is noticeably absent. Among the present is Andr? 3000, who drops by on \"The Ends\" to recollect the infamous rash of murders that struck his city during his early childhood. The album's deepest verse by a great measure, it has no discernible connection to Scott's surrounding rhymes of cocksure nonsense. That remains the M.O. of Scott, who remains deeply into heavy accessorization and proclamations of dominance, as well as punctuations with affirmative exclamations cast in dehumanizing pitch alteration. Swarming basslines and sluggish beats likewise form the rhythmic foundation, with gauzy and tickling keyboards adding sweetness to Scott's hedonistic hooks. Only on \"Guidance,\" through scuttling drums granted by DF, is there a significant shake-up. This time, Scott co-produced only one track, another Weeknd collaboration, and it easily slips into the album's scheme with its serpentine menace and lightweight lyricism. Among the others on the guest carousel are Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, 21 Savage, and Cassie.

On the one hand, Genius schools the Clan's followers through songs that address serious problems experienced in every day inner-city life. \"Cold World,\" which is backed by whirling wind sound, contains mini-stories that illustrate the misfortunes of gun-slinging in the hip-hop community. \"Investigative Reports\" goes even deeper in administering the blame, suggesting that drug-related crimes stem from a higher authority. On the other hand, there are the Clan's kung-fu metaphors, which show up on Genius' more Wu-styled songs. On \"Duel Of The Iron Mic,\" he's joined by a number of fellow Clansmen to reinstate the idea that no one can match them, despite numerous attempts to copy their image and concepts.

Includes liner notes by Major Jackson.\nAs the hip-hop nation grew, it was natural for jazz grooves to play an integral part of its evolution. From DJs spinning Sonny Rollins loops over beats, to rappers vocally challenging seasoned soloists (as Guru did with trumpeter Don Cherry), the initial burst of energy that a new-found jazz influence gave to hip-hop was like a blood transfusion, providing for a healthier long-term existence. With DO YOU WANT MORE?!!!??!, the Roots up the ante on all the jazz-tip outfits that have rolled out before them, fully integrating a live band with the rappers, and kicking a funky rhyme like it hasn't been kicked before...and at the Montreaux Jazz Festival, no less.\nThe Philadelphia quartet--MCs Black Thought and Malik B., bassist Hub, and drummer B.R.O. The R.?--treat the vocalists as simply two more instrumentalists, and thus as equal elements to the overall sound. The rappers carry the mic with a singular funky swing, comfortable in any flow setting but often mirroring the verbal interplay of A Tribe Called Quest (whom they also name-check); and the rhythm section drops its own share of bombs, when they're not busy laying down grooves for the likes of Steve Coleman and other additional players. The space heats up quickest when Black Thought and Malik use the band as a springboard for interactive flurries, and play directly off them (the live, freestyle grind, \"Essay Whuman?!!??\"). When such genuine moments of improvisation arise, the Roots seem like they're miles ahead of everybody else on hip-hop's jazz fusion highway.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/20\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Roots","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37752512217261,"sku":"75DPRQ-K3XH-00","price":42.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0518\/8439\/2621\/files\/Monostereo-The-Roots-Do-You-Want-More-Ex2LP-Vinyl_I6GIu.jpg?v=1742106740"}],"url":"https:\/\/thefinestvibes.com\/collections\/hip-hop\/slick-rick.oembed","provider":"The Finest Vibes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
