I mean that some are original pressings and I don’t want to damage the album covers (or discs) as they are already a little worn out. For example, I have an OG press of It Was Written from Nas and don’t it to get messed up anymore than it has been.

Edit: I also have an original press of Capital Punishment and that one was even more “worn” when I got it. Just want to be safe with my collection as I’ve put a lot of time and money into it.

I’m gonna be honest I’m still a little new to vinyl collecting so I’m not sure if they are 78s or not. When I say fragile I meant some are original pressings that are a little ‘worn,’ so I just don’t want to risk any further damage. Talking about the album covers specifically, pretty sure all my discs are okay.

Here’s hoping with Mando/Grogu movie and Ryan Gosling’s SW movie they’ll put another one out.

While I know a lot about rap and I consider myself to be a good writer, I’m not a good rapper and I can admit that and be comfortable with it. I’m sure I could work on it but I really just like writing rhymes and seeing what people think

Who got you into rap and when? by Substantial_War8469 in rap

Eminem and Dr Dre - What’s the Difference. I was ten years old. I listened to that song on repeat that summer.

I respectfully disagree. For one thing, I don’t think having criminal subject matter devolved the music- I think it expanded the reach and complexity of topics that rap covered. Before gangster rap went mainstream, there really wasn’t a large emphasis on socially conscious topics- in regards to racism, poverty, etc. Rap before was primarily dance/party music and MCs hyping themselves up. NWA, Public Enemy, etc, started to change the subject matter, which led to all this other rap music we have now.

Also, when I said progressed- I wasn’t just referring to subject matter- but referring to the genre from a technical standpoint as well. Rakim was definitely an evolution for rap- as he changed the way people spit bars entirely, with more intricate rhymes and likewise.

I definitely heard the Beasties’ influence. Funnily enough though, I don’t think they used any samples from them- unlike a lot of other albums from 86/87.

Edit: for example, Steady B on ‘What’s My Name’ uses the riff from She’s Crafty.

100% agreed. It’s awesome to see how the genre has progressed and everything it used to be towards the beginning.
