Out Of Stock
A nicely surprising turn for DJ Quik – a set that has him bringing in a bit of an R&B vibe to his rhymes, and also unlocking maybe a bit more of his star power too! Quik really embraces the bass-heavy old school funk that was the stock in trade of the west coast scene for most of the 90s ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Think what you want about DJ Quik, the west coast hip hopper is a key part of the sound of his scene in the 90s – and also maybe one of the most dedicated to the legacy of old school funk as well! This album's overflowing with wonderful samples – work by Cameo, Parliament, One Way, ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Goofy studio record that features the melody from the "Inspector Gadget" cartoon with mid-80's drum machine production and beatboxing. No vocals except for short vocal snippets from the cartoon. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Tough, righteous rap from King Sun – 1989's XL – a set that still looms large after all these years! King Sun dropped knowledge from a Five Percenter influence with a flow that's as smooth, solid and authoritive as any Bronx rapper of the day – and the production by Sun Born ...

Two classic electro-jazz instrumental tracks with vocoder. "Rain Forest" bridges the gap between breaking electro beats and radio friendly smooth jazz, "Sound Chaser" has a nice, slow tempo electro feel. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Nice instrumental/scratch tracks from Pumpkin, who provided beats for early Run-DMC and other early/mid-80's Profile artists. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record

This might not be the most important or vital album in the history of hip hop – but it's got some unstoppable party jams that can't be denied! "It Takes Two" will always be guaranteed to rock any party – and if Rob Base on the mic isn't anything to write home about, at the ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the first hip hop singles that really made the crossover to dancefloor play. By this point, everyone's heard the sample three million times, but it's still holds up better than most of the uptempo cuts from that era. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record
Run-DMC's great second album, with rock hard production by Russell Simmons and classic cuts! It's fascinating to listen to this album all these years later, with the knowledge that this hungry hip hop act from Queens was so soon to conquer the world. Great stuff from a legendary crew! This is ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

The massive third album from Run DMC – made at the top of their game – an pivotal effort that brought them to peak popularity and helped break hip hop in a huge way in the pop culture landscape!

The massive third album from Run DMC – a set that was done at a time when the duo were totally at the top of their game – and broke out big to a much wider audience than the usual hip hop crowd!

Worth it for the two early live recordings that were never on LP before: "Together Forever (Live in Hollis Park '84)" and "Here We Go (Live at the Funhouse '85)". And of course the hits: "Sucker MC's", "King of Rock ", "Rock Box", "Beats to ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A once underappreciated later effort from the mighty Run DMC – with slightly harder hitting beats, and an overall terse style (hence the title) that was always more effective than it got credit for at the time – and it's ultimately the crew's last solid beginning-to-end LP! Of course ... (Hip Hop) read moreLP, Vinyl record album

While this set was produced by Simon Harris, and there's not a ton of stuff to get excited about here, there is the nice ragga crossover track by Asher D & Daddy Freddy "Ragamuffin Hip Hop", and the break cut-up "These Are The Brakes" by DJ Hanway plus CJ Mackintosh "The ...
