Often humorous (Strobelite Honey), often serious (Black with No N.V (No Vision), Black Sheep were able to craft an album that displayed their witty sensibilities while also staying conscious in true Native Tongue form. From the moment the album starts with Prince Paul introducing the lowlifes of the family tree you know you are in for something special….and different. Mista Lawnges's production is every bit as textured as fellow counterparts Tribe or De La, while standing out as being completely original and fresh. Tracks like Butt in the Meantime, Try Counting Sheep and La Menage (Featuring Q Tip) are great examples of the duos original style - complex layered beats (everything from Jazz, Soul and Rock all meshed together perfectly) to compliment Dres' distinct voice and wordplay. Singles like Flavor of the Month and The Choice is Yours were perfect examples of the group's style and chemistry. With other standout album cuts like For Those That Slept and To Who It May Concern it seemed as if they had an endless bag of treats, each offering something different while preserving the group's style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Polar opposite to what other groups at the time were doing, Black Sheep hit a home run with their debut that few hip hop acts would ever reach. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Intro\u003cbr\u003eA2 U Mean I'm Not\u003cbr\u003eA3 Butt...In The Meantime\u003cbr\u003eA4 Have U.N.E.

One of those was a young man from Brooklyn who went by the name Special Ed. Only 16 when his debut hit shelves (and then quickly flew off them), his age was indeed just a number.

Then the solo albums, all produced by Wu patriarch RZA: first was Method Mans Tical (late 1994), then Ol Dirty Bastards Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version (spring 1995).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By the time Raekwons debut was ready, fans were knocking each other over on album release day. And so, on August 1, 1995 as the legend goes, the first 10,000 cassette buyers ran home and opened their plastic cases to discover that the tape itself was an unexpected, stunning shade of lavender.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The rest, as they say, is history… and limited-edition history at that. After the initial purple versions, RCA Records switched to the usual clear plastic to house the legendary tape. The Purple Tape became an instant collectors item, a Holy Grail for Wu-Tang disciples, coveted by those who could claim to be the earliest devotees of Raekwons lyrical genius. The album is still called The Purple Tape to this day, by Raekwon and other Wu-Tang members.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Colors aside, though, lets not forget the album itself. Backed by arguably RZAs most wide-ranging, hard-hitting and at-times lush beats on any Wu-Tang family album before or since, Raekwon and co-MC Ghost Face Killer run the lyrical gamut, introducing Wu-Gambinos slang, dishing out Ice Cream, and melting Glaciers of Ice along the way to influencing just about every MC who followed in their wake.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Beyond Ghost Face (who shines on 12 out of the albums 17 tracks), guest appearances from Nas, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Master Killa, RZA and the debut of Cappadonna (aka Cappachino) locked the album as an undisputed classic. Its a record that hit hard in 1995 and continues to resonate with new fans to this day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As Raekwon explained in the original Purple Tape Cassette Box liner notes book (and in Brian Colemans Check the Technique Volume 2): A lot of rappers wasnt being creative [at that time] and we came with a potion that just shocked the game. We introduced shoes, we brought about different names and aliases. That record inspired maybe 95% of the games lyrics [afterwards], and integrity on just making music, period. People from our era know how real it is. Its timeless.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 20 years later, celebrate the majesty of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx with Get On Downs Purple Tape Watch Box, a release you are sure to proudly display in your collection for decades to come.","brand":"Raekwon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1733636718607,"sku":"ZZ-GET51295-AC","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/1445838419-h.jpg?v=1629851500"},{"product_id":"p-s-k-what-does-it-mean-b-w-gucci-time-split-colored-vinyl-w-sticker-sheet","title":"P.S.K.

Starting with a trebled-out but thunderous TR-909 drum pattern and galloping forward with little more than a young mans nasal, arrogant flow, that blast was Schoolly-Ds P.S.K. What Does It Mean? Released on his own Schoolly-D Records label in 1985, the song was - and still is - too powerful and unique to ignore. It took the rap world by storm that year, presenting a counterpoint to Melle Mels more socially-conscious The Message; literally inventing Gangsta Rap.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Schoolly was a musician, drum-programming wizard and force of nature, and he would go on to shock the world with his in-your-face approach to making music - as bombastic lyrically as he was musically.

Those bootleggers made me big because, when it came down to it, I didnt have the money to get the records out there, Schoolly says. The person who helped me figure that sh*t out was Luke [Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew and Luke Skyywalker Records]. He took me all over Miami and showed me all the different bootlegged versions of my own records. It was crazy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On the flipside of P.S.K., Schoolly gave the world another classic: Gucci Time. Flexing brutal brag muscles, it was another gangsta masterpiece, furthering his legend and bringing even more 909 boom to the still expanding rap world.

From 1963 to 1971, James Brown had released not one but three albums recorded live at Harlems famed Apollo Theater. The first volume of the series is still rightfully revered today as one of the greatest live albums of all time. But Volumes II (1968) and III (1971 – aka Revolution Of The Mind) were no slackers either, showing James and his incredible band (with talent including Pee Wee Ellis, Fred Wesley, John Jabo Starks, Clyde Stubblefield, Maceo Parker, Lyn Collins, Bobby Byrd and many more) at the peak of their respective powers each time, playing a litany of JB hits.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Because of this, it will always be a mystery as to why Volume IV, which was recorded at the Apollo on September 14, 1972, was shelved. This is in no small part because the performers and songs heard here are some of the Godfather of Souls (and the JBs) strongest. But shelved it was, full of fire but languishing for decades in the Polydor vaults.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e One look at the tracklist will make you salivate: from instrumental JBs classics like Pass the Peas, Gimme Some More and Hot Pants Road to James own 1972 smash vocal There It Is, the assembled group of musical geniuses – including trombonist and bandleader Fred Wesley; saxophonist St. Clair Pinckney; guitarists Hearlon Cheese Martin and Jimmy Chank Nolan; bassist Fred Thomas; and Brown himself on organ – smash through James New New Super Heavy Funk with ridiculous power, control and panache. Included here, beyond the music, are in-between song introductions and banter, which bring you right into the front row.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This live album stands apart because it was conceptualized to showcase James Browns favorite players – The JBs – and vocalists, Bobby Byrd and Lyn Collins, who had their own R \u0026amp; B smashes on the People label. And these supreme talents get plenty of space to shine here: Collins Do Your Thing and Think (About It) and Byrds Keep On Doin (What Youre Doin), alongside I Know You Got Soul simply levitate the bandstand.","brand":"The James Brown Revue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1733658607631,"sku":"ZZ-GET54082-LP","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/Apollo.jpg?v=1589501451"},{"product_id":"93-til-infinity-2-lp","title":"93 til Infinity (2xLP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eConsisting of MCs A+, Phesto, Opio and Tajai (with production by A+, Domino, Del the Funky Homosapien, Jay Biz and Casual), East Oaklands Souls of Mischief burst onto the scene in the early 90s with an impact that few other West Coast artists had at the time.

A founding member of the trio (Alongside rappers T3 and Baatin), Dilla provided the group's distinctly esoteric, free-wheeling sound, built around winding basslines, quirky drumbeats, subtle low-end frequencies, and classic jazz \u0026amp; soul samples. Against the backdrop of Dillas rich production, T3 and Baatins free-flowing style of rhyming would also earn wide critical praise, leading to comparisons as the successors to A Tribe Called Quest. (A label they themselves have rejected.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the success of Slums 1997 studio debut, Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1, the group went to work on their follow-up. Though the project was completed in 98, label turmoil kept the project on ice until 2000. By the time Fantastic Volume II hit Dilla was well on his way to his status as a hip hop legend having produced cuts for Common, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest and many more. Later works from Slum Village may have had more of an impact sales-wise (in the immediate), but Fantastic Vol. 2 had fans and many critics saying that Slum Village, and Dilla in particular, may single-handedly save rap music. Perhaps that statement is hyperbole but many consider Fantastic Volume II to be Slum Villages finest work ever to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

A CD with remastered audio and a 100-plus page hardcover book are also included. The book features extensive liner notes by journalist Chris Faraone with input from B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs, and also includes full album lyrics and rarely seen photos provided by the group, as well as press clippings from 1991.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cypress Hills self-titled debut album was hard as nails, with very few pop concessions. There was humor, but it was laced by cackling, homicidal sneering. Not well known outside of the hardcore hip-hop scene at first, faces of the three group members werent usually shown clearly in press photos; they preferred the shadows. As their first singles began hitting the airwaves and record racks, the press and music fans started to take notice. From the opening notes of the groups first single, The Phuncky Feel One, to deeper album cuts like Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk and Tres Equis, it was clear that Cypress Hill was something different. And very, very dope.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The world Cypress Hill espoused was gang-ridden and far from cheery, but they managed to laugh through the pain. Lead rapper B-Real took each fuzzed-out, rock-hard DJ Muggs beat as a challenge, jumping around it like a spark off a joint as it makes its way to the concrete. MC Sen Dog always had B-Reals back, to bring intensity and a no-bullshit gruffness that made the group both menacing and unpredictable. When they introduced percussionist Eric Bobo to the mix in the early 90s, it brought new dimension to the band, making their live performances one of the most unique and accomplished shows in hip-hop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Journalist and author Chris Faraone highlights the groups relationship in the reissues liner notes saying, [By the late 80s] the undisputed Cypress unit finally formed. B and Sen realized that their diametric styles - the latters deep wrangle, the formers inimitable high notes - complemented one another righteously. By then Muggs had bangers in the bag, as well as industry experience from a jaunt with the New York duo 7A3. B and Sen waited while Muggs messed with 7A3, and in that time began to build the blueprint for their raucous and weeded no-holds-barred style. Besides getting schooled on industry pitfalls, Muggs had also grown into hip-hops most formidable young producer, while straddling the bi-coastal gap.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Faraone was able to dive in deep with the band for the liner notes, hearing story after story including the particularly interesting tale of their unlikely 91 radio hit, How I Could Just Kill A Man. In the B Sides win again story, the group recalls receiving resistance from the label in regards to which single should hit radio first. Initially the label thought How I Could Just Kill A Man was too risky and even though the initially featured The Phuncky Feel One was one of the albums strongest cuts, college radio and commercial mix-shows couldnt resist the dusted, heavy groove of Kill A Man. The song – which included a catchy, LA drive-by-inspired chorus – ended up as an unlikely, but powerful double A-sided single that even topped the Billboard Rap charts. More singles would follow, including Hand On The Pump; Pigs; and Latin Lingo. And by the fall of 1991, the album was a full-blown critics darling.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When asked about his inspiration to write and rhyme, B-Real got candid with Faraone, saying, All of the writing in relation to Cypress was based off of experiences, whether direct and living through them or the other guys, or stuff that we [had] seen through other guys in the trenches, when I was living that gangster lifestyle. It was the life we were living that we used as a backdrop.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cypress Hills debut went gold by the end of 1991 and has since pushed past double platinum status, making it the first album for a Latino-American hip hop group to do so. The album received raves from the likes of Rolling Stone and the Los Angeles Times, saw a #1 Hot Rap Single with the release of The Phuncky One and helped the band win Artist Of The Year at the 1992 Source Awards. After 25 years, it should come as no surprise that Cypress Hill is a cornerstone of the groups live set to this day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sen Dog sums up the groups incredible journey perfectly in the liner notes: Its like, Goddammit, we actually went out there and did what we said we were gonna do. Thats one of the hardest things to do in the world, and we did it. Every once in a while, Ill look out at B when Im on stage and say, Were still doing it. [Our fist] record was respected by everyone in the business, and to meet people like EPMD [back then] and for them to love your shit, those are the things you never forget.","brand":"Cypress Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1733670207503,"sku":"ZZ-GET9005-CD","price":64.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/1470345381-h.jpg?v=1514998294"},{"product_id":"every-hero-needs-a-villain-2-lp","title":"Every Hero Needs A Villain (2xLP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCZARFACE - Wu-Tang founding MC Inspectah Deck and veteran duo 7L \u0026amp; Esoteric are back with their sophomore album Every Hero Needs A Villain featuring MF Doom (on \"Ka-Bang\"), Method Man, GZA, R.A The Rugged Man, JuJu (The Beatnuts), Large Professor and Meyhem Lauren!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 2013, the trio appeared relatively unassumingly with their self-titled debut, which was chiefly produced by DJ 7L and included guests ranging from Ghostface Killah and Cappadonna to Vinnie Paz, Action Bronson and Roc Marciano. The soon-to-be acclaimed group found out quickly that there was a groundswell of hip-hop fanatics thirsting for the lunchpail, lyrics-above-all-else rap they fell in love with in the 90s. Several pressings of the album on CD, 2-LP and even cassette later, they are back and ready to up the ante.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This time around the group is the same, but its fair to say that all three men have stepped up their game. We knew how we felt about the last album, but werent sure how it would be received by listeners, explains MC Esoteric. But people really responded to it, even more than we had hoped. That gave us the confidence to really spread our wings and let loose on this one. The chemistry is even tighter this time around. We know exactly what lanes we are cruising in and what weight class we are fighting in for Round 2.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Inspectah Deck adds, Czarface is like the Danger Room for the X-Men, I can use all my weapons on there. When I'm in Wu-Tang, I have to come a certain way because we have a certain style of fan, when I'm here doing the Czarface projects, it allows me to actually be an MC, it allows me to actually just spit...I love that. I love when i can just spit freely and just be an MC.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The fighting analogy – whether drawn from pugilism or 80s wrestling, both which figure into Every Hero Needs A Villain – is an apt one, considering the unrelenting lyrical attacks that Deck and Esoteric unleash on track after track, each trying to one-up the previous verse. Best of all, it is friendly camaraderie, based around a loose theme of renegade mutant MC talents running wild. DJ 7L explains, All three of us is influenced by comics, sci-fi movies, TV, wrestling. Czarface encompasses all of that, and it helps with the visuals as well.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On the production side, 7L and Spada4 show yet again – as with the groups debut – to be a stellar team, as they provide hard, funky and alternatingly ominous backdrops for the assembled MCs to use as lyrical luge paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Track List:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. \"Don the Armor\" 1:18\u003cbr\u003e2. \"Czartacus\" 2:37\u003cbr\u003e3. \"Lumberjack Match\" 2:46\u003cbr\u003e4. \"Nightcrawler\" (featuring Method Man) 3:22\u003cbr\u003e5. \"World Premier\" (featuring Large Professor) 2:50\u003cbr\u003e6. \"The Great (Czar Guitar)\" 2:25\u003cbr\u003e7. \"Red Alert\" 3:46\u003cbr\u003e8. \"Junkyard Dogs\" (featuring JuJu) 3:33\u003cbr\u003e9. \"Sgt.

During this time Marvel Comics had reached out to Czarface wanting some music to soundtrack their Black Panther web series, promoting their breakout comic of the same name. This Marvel meeting spawned the lead track All in Together Now and served as the primary inspiration for a fleshed-out album that nobody saw coming. The group camped out in the studio playing beats, talking comics, video games, and pop culture....what came about was A Fistful of Peril.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Starting the album off with the ARP keyboard odyssey of Electric Level 1 is like entering the vortex of color and light in Kubricks 2001. The aptly titled Two in the Chest showcases Deck \u0026amp; Esos ability to deliver punchlines and pop culture references with ease over an exceptional bass and guitar combo. Czar Wars has the two sparring back and forth bringing that X-Men\/Danger Room mentality that Deck often to refers to when in Czar-mode. Psycho Les of The Beatnuts steps in on Dust while Lizard City introduces Czarface Pajamas. Yes you read that correctly. The off-kilter Steranko has Meyhem Lauren and Rast join forces with Czarface as they weave their way through a mind-bending array of varying beats. Other features on the album are Conway on Machine, Man \u0026amp; Monster and AOTPs Blacastan on Tarantulas. Another one of the albums highlights is Dare Iz A Darkseid which along with Talk That Talk is the perfect balance of wit and humor that make up the core of Czarface.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Building on an already rock solid foundation with two critically acclaimed albums, A Fistful of Peril features some of the groups most cohesive material.

Originally, both were their own 12-inch singles, but for this special, first-time-ever 7-Inch release, they are paired together. They Reminisce Over You – a tribute to their late friend Trouble T-Roy (a member of Heavy Ds crew) – is one of the most beloved hip-hop tracks of the 90s, and rightfully so. Grooving very deeply over a filtered bassline and a now-ingrained Tom Scott saxophone riff (Today), CL Smooth lives up to his moniker, weaving various tales and lessons about family and friends. His status as a storytelling MC remains underrated, but here it remains proudly on display.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Straighten It Out, although not the runaway smash that They Reminisce was, is equally emotional and soulful. Again over a mid-tempo groove, and again with Petes trademark warm horn samples, CL explained in Check the Technique, On [part of] the song, I was talking about sampling, and I was basically reacting to how everything was such a procedure when you had to clear stuff. They didnt seem to care about how their music affected anyone else, they just wanted money. So it was just something that needed to be straightened out. Older artists thought that us younger cats were ripping them off, but it wasnt like that. It was a tribute. So heres the math: one classic hip-hop group, two memorable singles, one killer 7-Inch.

Its no exaggeration to say that the group changed the course of music in the 80s, bringing the old-school of rap into the new with one simple piece of flat, black plastic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing up in the rap world of the early 1980s under the wing of Kurtis Blow (group manager Russell Simmons managed Blow, and Run was, at one time, a DJ known as Son of Kurtis Blow) and Blows bassist and burgeoning super-producer Larry Smith, the trio – Joseph Run Simmons, Darryl DMC McDaniels and Jason Jam Master Jay Mizell – learned from the best, but created their own path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1983 was the year that they first broke out. With only an Oberheim DMX drum program and some cuts by Jay, Sucker M.C.s (Krush-Groove 1) was a shot across the bow to the slick, post-disco pocket rap had settled into. It was raw, pure swagger and it took both New Yorkers and music aficionados around the world by storm. The songs lyrics are a mandatory memorization assignment to this day by MCs learning their craft. Two years ago, a friend of mine… \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe groups sound, which was laid out muscularly on Run-DMC, had a harder approach than their peers, thanks to producer Larry Smiths use of live musicians who laid down grooves but didnt soften the edges. Lyrically the group wasnt just about brags either, with songs like Hard Times, Its Like That and Wake Up (the first two were singles). Runs and DMCs overlapping tag-team approach to lyricism was powerful and immensely influential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRock Box, another single and arguably the centerpiece of the album, was a nod to their hard edge, and a foreshadowing of their first worldwide smash, 1985s King Of Rock. Jam Master Jays DJ work was stellar, knowing exactly when to jump in and put listeners ears in a headlock. The album was the first rap full-length to achieve Gold status, and as fans know, the group was just getting started – their next two LPs would take them to even higher status in the music world, critically and sales-wise.

Originally scheduled for release in the spring of 1994, their label unceremoniously shelved it at the eleventh hour due to controversy over the provocative cover art. Surviving group member MF Doom (then known as Zev Love X) – as fans know, his younger brother Subroc was killed in 1993 – tried to release the album on other labels, but met more dead ends.

But hear us out as we plead the case for this amazing LP. By 1988 there was a lot more competition in the rap game – Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, Eric B. \u0026amp; Rakim, Ice-T and many more had given Hollis, Queens prodigal sons lots of competition. But Joe, Darryl and Jay were still at the top of their game, and hip-hop fans should never let this classic – chiefly produced by their Queens neighbor, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Davy D[MX] – get lost in their crates.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For starters, the albums first single, Runs House b\/w Beats To The Rhyme is arguably the most powerful one-two punch of the trios career, showing contenders to the rap throne that they could still destroy a beat, tag-teaming with power at any speed. Not to be lost in the shuffle, fans were also reminded on both sides that Jam-Master Jay remained one of the worlds best DJs, flexing the pinnacle of what would be called turntablism a decade later. Both songs show a musical telepathy between all three that has rarely been equaled. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The second single, Mary, Mary, driven by an infectious Monkees sample, took a different approach, shrewdly ensuring that pop fans who jumped on the Raising Hell bandwagon had something to chew on. But, like Walk This Way, the song wasnt just bubblegum – there was an edge to it, and the lyrical gymnastics were very real. It wasnt selling out, it was allowing fans to buy in. Papa Crazy, driven in concept and by a sample from the Temptations Papa Was A Rolling Stone, followed a similar pop-leaning path. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Overall, the lyrical content on the album was a step up from the groups first three LPs. Its easy to infer, looking back, that they were feeling the heat from their younger competitors in the rap game. The genre was changing fast, and they were up to the challenge. On cuts like Radio Station they bring substance to the grooves, by attacking Black Radio for its continual denigration of rap.

The alternative and conscious rap music of the early-to-mid-90s had all but faded into the underground. The scene was set for a comeback, perhaps as a backlash to the perceived violence and misogyny of gangsta raps content. Leading the resurgence of alternative hip-hop were groups like Jurassic 5, and recent signees to Capitol Records; a West coast trio that had been building steam underground since the early 90s called Dilated Peoples.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Anticipation was high for the release of the debut album from Evidence, Rakaa, and DJ Babu. (Of the influential turntablist collective Beat Junkies.) When The Platform arrived in May of 2000 it was met with critical and underground acclaim, as well as affording Dilated Peoples their first Billboard chartings. It featured a back-to-basics sound with a heavy debt to the old-school hip-hop ethos, the kind of sound that harkened back to the early days of legends like De La Soul \u0026amp; A Tribe Called Quest. Hits like No Retreat and The Platform were bolstered by Evidence \u0026amp; Rakaas subtle, abstract wit, and swift, adroit wordplay, while DJ Babu provided production chops and dextrous scratches. On The Platform the trio were joined by the likes of B-Real, Tha Alkoholiks, Everlast, Planet Asia, and many more providing guest vocals, while boasting guest production from The Alchemist \u0026amp; Kut Masta Kurt, among others.  This classic album is now back in print on standard black vinyl. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 So May I Introduce To You\u003cbr\u003eA2 The Platform\u003cbr\u003eA3 No Retreat\u003cbr\u003eA4 Guaranteed\u003cbr\u003eB1 Right On\u003cbr\u003eB2 The Main Event\u003cbr\u003eB3 Service\u003cbr\u003eB4 Ear Drums Pop\u003cbr\u003eC1 Years In The Making\u003cbr\u003eC2 Annihilation\u003cbr\u003eC3 Expanding Man\u003cbr\u003eC4 The Last Line Of Defense\u003cbr\u003eD1 Triple Optics\u003cbr\u003eD2 The Shape Of Things To Come\u003cbr\u003eD3 Work The Angles\u003cbr\u003eD4 Ear Drums Pop (Remix)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dilated Peoples","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1733700517903,"sku":"ZZ-GET54091-LP","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/DilatedPeoples_ThePlatform.jpg?v=1588652900"},{"product_id":"pinata-2-lp","title":"Pinata (2xLP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing Danny Brown, Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul, Polyester the Saint, BJ The Chicago Kid, Big Time Watts, G-Wiz, Casey Veggies, Sulaiman, Meechy Darko \u0026amp; Freddie Kane.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Freddie Gibbs is the product of violent, drug-laden streets but unlike most rappers with similar resumes, he brings the block to the booth without inhibition or an exaggerated rap persona.

While this is the latest in a series of single-artist collaborations for Madlib, after Jaylib (J Dilla), Madvillainy (MF Doom) and the street-centric O.J.

The albums far-reaching influence was all the more apparent in 2013, when the sequel, titled Event 2, was released 13 years later to equal praise, and an acclaimed North American tour which featured a full horn, string, and rhythm section conducted by Dan The Automator himself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In 2016, coinciding with the release of a special edition version of Event 2, the trio quietly rolled out a digital only release of Live, now being issued for the first time on vinyl. This live recording features tracks recorded during their tour in support of Event 2. Dels swift rhymes, Kid Koalas deft scratches, and Dan The Automators high-end production (And conducting) are in full form on the 11 collected tracks, which feature a cavalcade of guest contributors; Zack De La Rocha (Rage Against The Machine \/ One Day As A Lion), Mike Patton (Faith No More \/ Mr. Bungle\/ Fantomas), Aaron Bruno (AWOLNATION), Emily Wells, and Jamie Cullum.","brand":"Deltron 3030","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1733745999887,"sku":"ZZ-BULK010-LP","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/Deltron3030_Live.jpg?v=1589407511"},{"product_id":"bdp-criminal-minded-puzzle","title":"Criminal Minded (Puzzle)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoogie Down Productions Criminal Minded, considered by many to be a solidified classic, is honored in this special one-of-a-kind 100 piece puzzle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boogie Down Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1804389384207,"sku":"ZZ-GET58001-AC","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/1440184322-h.jpg?v=1514998931"}],"url":"https:\/\/getondown.com\/collections\/frontpage.oembed?page=15","provider":"Get On Down","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
