Eminem —
Marshall Mathers LP ... CD 
Interscope/Aftermath, 2000. Used ... $2.99
Eminem's 2nd LP, where the sh*it REALLY hits the fan. What's still striking and genuinely exciting about this record, which is hardly worth even describing considering the mountains of opinions, protests, and moral grand standing, is Em's willingness to keep instigating the people he offended. ... read more CD

Nasir ... LP 
Mass Appeal, 2018. New Copy Gatefold ... $13.99 14.99
An on target salvo from one of hip hop's longest reigning mic maestros, produced by a mercifully focused Kanye West!

Eminem —
Eminem Show ... CD Interscope/Aftermath, 2002. Used ... $1.99
More gallows humor, and dark, clever wordplay from Slim, with an occasional party bounce and maybe not as pitch black as some of the material on the previous LPs.

Beastie Boys —
In Sound From Way Out! ... CD Grand Royal/Capitol, 1996. Used ... $5.99
The Beasties' peak-era, retro-style instrumentals LP! Even at their weakest vocal moments, we've always dug the Beastie Boys' firm commitment to funky instrumental backing – their albums are filled with lots of nice interludes, instrumentals, and backing grooves – but they often seemed ... read more CD
