Quintessential Halloween record. Best Halloween Hip Hop album. the shovel is dope but it doesn’t make the album. Buy this & the OG. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🪦⚰️ -

This pressing and package blowed me away. The drums are so hard, I never heard that album in such a quality. Grab your copie before it’s too late.

Edited 2 years agoAs a person who's favorite Eminem album is Relapse, I think it's safe to say that I have a soft spot for Horrorcore Rap. But this album is so much more than that. Some of the best beats the RZA ever produced, cold blooded and savage rhymes without ever sounding cheesy or cringe and one of VMPs best Hip-Hop releases. Absolutely no surface noise, flat and centered vinyl with one of the coolest color schemes they ever did, anti static inner sleeves as usual and maybe my favorite jacket yet. Really shiny and high quality glossy paper. This thing looks even better than Frank Ocean's Endless. I don't know what more to say than that I'm impressed in every single way or form possible. This is a perfect 10/10 Hip Hop release by VMP.
I really need more RZA produced albums with VMP treatment in my life. The world would be a much better place.
Edit: Falsely assumed that it's a RZA produced album, since we're talking bout the goddamn RZA, right? But shoutouts to Prince Paul for absolutely going bananas on the production. -
This is it! Don't question it. Just do it!
This VMP album is uber alles. The definitive pressing is bright and clear, not a drop of sibilance or static. The bass is thick with no distortion. Vinyl lover approved. The honorable mastering rendered here is very intelligent, and it's obvious upon hearing how much consideration went into this project of remastered restoration. This recording actually sounds more musical, lifting details from the background into fully assembled songs.
"Blood Brothers" and "1-800-Suicide" are highlighted with intended perfection. Beats and rhymes that flood my mind to high school memory resurrection. Just in time for the changing season. Give me one, give me two, give me any reason to refuse this unintentional masterpiece hip hop invention. -
Edited 2 years agoI was cautious going into owning this pressing. Definitely had to own this album on wax, especially considering this is way cheaper than you'll find for an OG copy, but the color is what had me worried. I have yet to come across a record with this color scheme that wasn't riddled with surface noise or sounded really muddy (Fishscale had this color scheme and didn't sound very good). I'm happy to say it did not affect the quality of this release at all, and it sounds nearly perfect! Very rich sound, detailed, and clear. There's some surface noise here and there but it doesn't derail from the experience, also it's only noticeable when the music isn't playing. After this and the SGP repress that they recently came out with (splatter), I think it's safe to say VMP can be trusted with every type of color variant at this point. I do wish the jacket of this pressing was better though, they should have just stuck with the original look. It's very dark and grimy looking, it doesn't look that nice. It makes it seem like a bootleg almost, but still happy to own this pressing nontheless -
Edited 2 years agoSounds absolutely amazing, as others have said, but I have to subtract a star because the hype sticker claims this as the "definitive" version of the album even though it's missing some skits and the EU-only song, the Shovel. -
The sound of this record doesn’t compare to any other release of this album. Excellent. Missing skits but we ain’t 15 anymore, no biggie. Otherwise, fantastic. Get it while you can. -
Great bass, amazing looking album and packaging plus it looks like vmp finally got the hint ing poly inner sleeves! Another home run from vmp
