The set's a long ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Black vinyl pressing with Masterdisk/TD etch. Includes the inserts.)
Kanye's tightest, most heavily synth soaked set yet – and possibly the best – a leap ahead for his evolving sound!

"Gold Digger" is another great single from Kanye West – with a minimalist funky clappin' beat track and a Ray Charles sample – plus an appearance by Ray-incarnate Jamie Foxx.

Nice, nice, nice New York hip hop from Keith Murray – his one and only full length on Def Jam!

Kanye West's & Kid Cudi's joint debut as Kids See Ghosts! Each looks inward and tackles existential personal issues on the lyrical front, with kind of a spacey melancholy vibe to the production, and with cool synths and fuzz-steeped production with some really interesting samples in the mix ...

Two from the "All We Got Iz Us" LP. The usual scowling Onyx MC style, but the production on Last Days has a more low-tempo, late-night sound than the usual Onyx material. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
The massive second album by PE – and the one where where the hit their full creative stride, and their politics and philosphy hit at full force – moving Public Enemy from an imposing threat to both the hip hop and pop music status quo to a straight up cultural phenomenon!
