Profile, 1993. Very Good ... $6.99
Nice comeback record for Bambaataa that uses a vocal chant from a live Soul Sonic Force show back in the day – "Zulu! Can't stop us" looped over some classic break beats, still heard in mixes today. The "not taking no sh*t" version includes some nice rhymes from GLOBE of ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo copy in a Profile sleeve. Label has a bit of pen.)
Giant, 1994. Near Mint- (pic cover)... $13.99
Nothing else he did was worth it, but this track, radio hit and all, is still kinda dope. When "Back In The Day" actually was depends on how old y'all are – and for Ahmad it's the late 80's with some dope verses about what was going on back then. To our ears, the vocals and ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

Who's Afraid Of The Art Of Noise ... LP ZTT/Island, 1984. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
An incredibly wonderful record from The Art of Noise – their first full LP, following the ep Into Battle With – and a much more open-ended array of beats, sounds, and that wonderful chunky Trevor Horn production! The album's got versions of some of the older singles – like "B ... (Soul, Hip Hop) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rhymesayers, 2005. Near Mint- ... $16.99
A killer, one time promo-only CD EP circulated ahead of Atmosphere's mid 00s classic You Can't Imagine The Fun We're Having LP – with alternate versions of "Say Hey There" and "Panic Attack", plus some equally dope tracks that strong enough to deserve a spot a proper LP. ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rhymesayers, 2014. Near Mint- ... $16.99
A nice picture disc 12" EP – produced by Ant, worded by Slug, and each gets a side title! The Slug Side features the tracks "Kanye West", "Bob Seger" and "I Don't Need No Fancy S**t". The Ant Side includes "Bitter", "Idiot" and "Pr ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Rhymesayers, 2014. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
The eighth album (!!!) from MN hip hop lifers Atmosphere – one of the most consistent, reliable duos in the game – and Southsiders is another honest, moody gem. Hip hop music in general doesn't get enough props as songwriter's genre, but Slug is hell of a good writer, with a compelling ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ratcage, 1983. Very Good+ (pic cover)... Just Sold Out!
The first-ever Beastie Boys hip hop effort – a really great single done after their early punk material, and already a great showcase for their strong sense of humor! The gimmick here is great – the trio call up a number of Carvel Ice Cream stores, and ask to speak to various ice cream ... read more 12-inch, Vinyl record

MCA, 1988. Very Good ... $9.99
One of those album's you have to love – not only because it's extra dope, but because it's a slept on gem by one of hip hop's pioneers – one that keeps it real in a sense that seems lost so many years down the line! Raw beats and ultimately fairly simple, but charismatic rhymes that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
