^Nice, P's on a PE kick. ... Last night... Bumped this twice... It's about damn time they had that dropped on proper wax. It's a nice 2LP heavy press. Heavy bass refreshes this album that I must have heard on CD-R 30 times already. Fat Beats finally woke up, said yeah this deserves a pressing, and better late then never.

^That bassline is so fat! Yeah I hear what you are saying about the sound quality, but good call posting it here, good listen.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
its the whole album, plus instrumentals, plus bonus songs all in a 45 boxset. Dustygroove had it at $37.99 QuoteDustygroove The fourth album from Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings presented as a box set of funky 45s with 10 exclusive bonus tracks – solidifying what we learned pretty early on from the indomitable soul spirit that is Sharon and her impeccable combo the Dap-Kings – it's thby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
It'll be really cheap since this is a first run. I'll let you know, just want to get a head count before deciding how many we will purchase. We aim to not make a lot money on these, the payments will just cover the expenses of the prints themselves and maybe if we are lucky a few months of website overhead.by rchecka - OP: Periodic Table of Hip Hop Elements

^Click to zoom in... There will be a small run of posters available within the next week or so, here's a proof! I'll let you know here before dropping em on the main site. If anyone wants a copy of this extremely limited pressing, holler here I'll make sure I got you covered.by rchecka - OP: Periodic Table of Hip Hop Elements
Just copped this, NICE! I Learned The Hard Way (limited 11 x 7" box set –plus booklet, instrumentals and bonus track) not cheap!by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Last night I bumped these... Blackbyrds - Flying High and some great rock joints... Bad Brains is a no brainer, must have rock. Why they would mention it was on black vinyl as a selling point is beyond me since 99 percent of records are on black vinyl. That Truth and Janey is really great stoner rock from the 70s, nice thoughtful repress of a private press from an Iowanby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
LOL. Cheap? Thrifty maybe, but not cheap... More like sleep... I keep getting damn out of stock notices cuz I sleep too long before checking out. It usually sells the same day it's listed online. It will be mine next time, I should get a notification email now.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Quoteuptownkid anyone check his last effort, that came out last year? the collaboration album with Wordsmith.... peace. I haven't heard that, I'd be curious to hear it too. But didn't they know Black Eyed Peas already named one of their albums that before they started to suck really bad? You'd think they woulda at least googled that or something just to make suby rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Anyone got this reggae version produced by Ticklah? Curious about that...by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I hear you, a lot of em are filler due to a time void, but some of them definitely belong on the album and make the album what it is. IE De La's first two albums. Actually even their later skits "Ghost weed" etc are hilarious, at least the first time you hear em. There are some really funny ones out there that are well played with the right sound effects, I like em for the mostby rchecka - OP: Periodic Table of Hip Hop Elements

These kind of threads (this one and the Hater one) are just one of the main reasons me and P wanted to do a forum. Forums are the best way to get real opinions and contributions from real heads. Besides "skits", are there any other elements that should be nominated as an addition or were blatantly missed? Please read the prerequisites for nominations on the Process page (Basicby rchecka - OP: Periodic Table of Hip Hop Elements
...or if not using flash click here for jpg. Negative feedback = growth. Regarding the Periodic Table of Hip Hop Elements... All feedback is good, even from Haters hating on Hater. What elements don't belong? Which ones are questionable? Which ones don't you understand or need to be moved or clarified? Are you a purist who believes there are only 4 elements aby rchecka - OP: Periodic Table of Hip Hop Elements
So as I listened to the "ass breath pill" skit on Coup's "Pick a Bigger Weapon" LP today, it became even more obvious that skits on Hip Hop albums is something that is widespread and uniquely related to Hip Hop. It's a comedy routine, born courtesy of De La Soul, and since that time it's been done, (sometimes overdone) and done again on possibly hundreds of Hipby rchecka - OP: Periodic Table of Hip Hop Elements
Yeah, Uptown mentioned I'm sleeping on that, I guess I better cop it before it's OOP.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
LOL. Every MC has some WTF lyrics, that's not his worst for sure, but he spits fire most of the time IMO. Compared to a lot of MCs in his peak era he's fairly slept on IMO.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

Quotedj d-lite QuoteJesper Quoterchecka Ramsey Louis is the man. How's that Cadet records album Jesper? Very nice, but pretty straight-forward piano-driven souljazz. Lot's of his albums from the period sound similar. The one w Les Fleurs (used for Jazz Thing) is the doper one from that period IMO. It also has the original track for Case Of PTA - Leaders.

Quoteakademik I just picked up Damu the Fudgemunk's Supply for Demand, dope record. Actually, I just bought that too man. Waiting for the mailman to drop that one off. Can't wait to finally hear his production on wax. One Be Low has a few good joints, no doubt.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

haven't heard that kurious joint. Good call.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
Hell yeah, Sharon Jones is one funky diva. I love her voice, very powerful, very soulful. Daptones providing the instrumentals... Can't go wrong with anything in her catalog. I have most of her LPs. I'll admit, I still haven't gotten the latest LP she dropped. I heard it was amazing too.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
COMPUTERS, good to see you man! This kid has some beats, check em if you get a chance. Same as Fly, we are lucky to have some young cats like these 2 that have serious potential to make real moves, IMO. welcome aboard.by rchecka - General Discussion
Thanks for mentioning that, I didn't know you could do it with a smartphone. Red cross is a no brainer too. It's really a bad situation over there, I'm sure you guys have seen some of the footage, it's crazy.by rchecka - General Discussion
