Clean album sampler, with Cam'ron and Juelz Santana on "It's Nuttin" and "The Way We Roll", 50 Cent and Paul Wall on "Just A Touch", and Jae Millz on "Bring It Back". 12-inch, Vinyl record
Funky breaking madness! Nice 12" single of Herbie's big hit cut with Bill Laswell – which sounds surprisingly better today than it did back in 1983. Lots of nice early electro keyboards – and some nice scratching from Grandmaster D St! (Soul, Hip Hop)12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has light ringwear, some edge wear, bumped corners, and is bent a bit at the spine.)
Homeboy Sandman is sounding very much at the top of his game here – on a record that almost seems to have two sorts of flavors, but both nicely unified by the work of producer Aesop Rock! The lyrics spin out with the kind of effortlessness that Sandman's always given us – charged up ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Deluxe edition on "electric smoke" vinyl – still sealed with hype sticker.)

"This here is the victory lap," raps Hov midway through The Black Album, probably the most consistent front-to-back listen of all his albums. One of the nicest things about the Black Album is the brevity – with a very manageable 14 tracks, no guest rhymers, and a consistent overall ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Clean promo in a Rocafella Advance sleeve, with light wear.)
A heck of a comeback for Jay-Z – and a record that definitely stands as the blueprint promised in the title – not just for Jay-Z's career in years to come, but also for that of Kanye West and Just Blaze – who both contribute key work here on the production tip! The set's a long ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Black vinyl pressing with Masterdisk/TD etch. Includes the inserts.)
With guest spots by DJ Romes, Kombo, Wildchild, Planet Asia, Krondon, Phil Da Agony, Montage One, Rhettmatic and the Visionaries. 12-inch, Vinyl record
LL has always been just about the most reliable practitioner of the hip hop slow jam, and this classic from the tail end of the 80s/early dawn of the 90s is about as endearing as they get! The track gets a number reworked moods in the remixes. The Untouchable remix speeds the tempo to the "up ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
The restlessly inventive Madlib beats and production for Pinata, the excellent duo project with MC Freddie Gibbs! If you'll forgive us a little bit of repetition – because we KNOW we've written this before – there's just something extra riveting about Madlib's production work for ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed. Cover has a mild corner bend and bump.)
A really revolutionary album – both at the time it was released, and all these many years later! In a surprising nod to the younger generation, Blue Note opened the door to Madlib – already making a name with his array of great projects at the start of the century – an early part ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 2010s EU Music On Vinyl reissue. Cover is bent at the bottom right corner.)
The last full album ever put together by Tupac – a set issued under the name Makaveli, which may have become a wider-used stage name – had the rapper not been taken from the world before the album saw the light of day! Yet unlike some other posthumous albums, this one was still fully ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Eiht's third LP, with a few tracks produced by Muggs thrown into the mix, in addition to Slip's beats. Includes "Me & My B*tch", "Can I Get Mine", "Got Cha Humpin", "Hit The Floor" and "When All Hell Breaks Loose". LP, Vinyl record album
The LP and midnight mixes have that commercial friendly eazy jazz sound. The gangsta mix (not 'gangsta' at all) is completely different, and ends up sounding like something from the days when Lyte was dope. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Extended version of the track from Lyte's second LP. With a similar subject to "Cram to Understand", but the production style leans a little bit toward new jack swing and has singing on the chorus. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Marley Marl's behind the controls on this early MC Shan LP. 9 tracks in all, including QB classics like "Jane, Stop This Crazy Thing!", "The Bridge", and "Kill That Noise", plus "Down By Law", "Project 'Ho", "Left Me Lonely", "MC ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
