Only recently I got this...



I had a few 12" singles off this and I knew it was a must-have classic, yet I never got around to getting it till I found it at the right price. I told P I finally got it and he gave me the stink eye text for not having it earlier.

Fact is, there's a ton of classic hip hop out there. No one will ever own the entire collection of classic hip hop albums they should own. Granted, 'classic Hip Hop albums' is a loose term too, so this is all opinion in the end, but there is a general consensus about what is classic and what isn't.

Regardless there will always be that nagging urge to break down and cop what you "should" have in your collection.

What Classic Hip Hop albums are on your to-get list right now?

Good thread, let me think about it for awhile and get back to you. Between my cd's, tapes, and my legit mp3 collection, I have most, but theres gotta be a few I'm not thinking of that I feel I need. I might need more to post to remind me of what I'm missing.

The first one that comes to mind ( because I have been looking for it on vinyl lately) is The Artifacts - Between A Rock And A Hard Place . I could make a list a mile long !!!

I need that too. I have "That's Them" though.

@P
In terms of CDs, I stopped buying them a long time ago with the exception of an occasional mixtape or something that never made it to record. I'll still buy an occasional CD, but I'm always gonna try to cop it on wax first. In this case I have the 2LP with a few bonus tracks so I have no desire to cop that CD. I got a long line of stuff I gotta get that I don't have on any format yet. That's a great album by the way now I can fully understand what the heads have been saying about this for years.
