Yeah I'm fairly new to life and only knew the one song. After buying the record I realized I scored! You have to think, these albums were made before I was and my parents weren't into them. So it was on me to figure out what they had to offer.
>I got it solely for Electric Relaxation and was shocked that the whole album turned into a banger.
Nice. This is probably how I'm probably going to feel when I one day get the vinyl copy of Mecca and the Soul Brother solely for T.R.O.Y.
Really good start!
Gotta have that Deltron 3030, J5, Digital underground, Blowout Comb. But having a record collection without female vocals is a sin. Koko Taylor, Nina Simone, Alicia Keys, Solange and her sister.
Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia
Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Black Star
GZA - Liquid Swords
clipping. - Visions Of Bodies Being Burned
Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth
I feel those kinda mix in well with what you got already
its really not i just got lucky tbh. there must have been a serious flylo fan out there willing to get a mint copy at any price
edit: i didnt even intend on selling it originally. priced at 220 thinking nobody would buy it 😂
Oops, my bad. I just checked Stones Throw and it's sold out.
Discogs is your best bet. Plenty of copies.

When I first bought some vinyl I tried so hard to find Get Rich or Die Tryin and I was so happy when I found a brand new one.
Idk if there more available now though
Personally the top left quadrant is the best in your collection and going by that you've a whole mountain of classic 90s and early 00s hiphop to pick up. I envy you heading stuff like early mobb deep, Wu Tang, Outlast etc for the first time. Enjoy!
Honestly just walk into your nearest record store and find anything from any artist you enjoy, maybe even check the cheap bins and pick out some vinyls that you’ve never even heard of but have a cover you really like. Don’t worry too much about outside suggestions. A vinyl collection should be a reflection on your own music taste.
I think you’d like some Metal Fingers (MF DOOM) - Special Herbs volumes. Madlib’s Sound Ancestor’s, maybe? Pharoah Sanders - Promises? Jazzmatazz Vol. 1? I think you could def weave in some more of that jazz-rap hybrid. Love the Death Grips btw!
First... go and buy the vinyls you really enjoy. If you´re not sure, then try something new out. A lot of times it happens, that a vinyl you dont know first, can lead you a new direction of music or it brings you new ideas. It is not neccesary important that you stick to one genre.
If new, good kid, m.A.A.d city or To Pimp A Butterfly, whichever you prefer, they’re both pretty good for vinyl
If old, something by OutKast, maybe ATLiens, their debut is underrated too
Amazing starter pack! What kind of setup are you running?
If there's one thing I've learned, it's to only buy albums you actually enjoy, otherwise storing and moving becomes a bit more tedious.
That being said, if you can find the Big K.R.I.T. box set of his first four mixtapes, it's fantastic. The first PRhyme album on vinyl is great as well. Blu and Exile's Below The Heavens is almost meant to be heard on wax.
Edit: Pinata by Freddie Gibbs, absolutely necessary.
Buy something you like
Second this OP, it's your book you write it. But I'd suggest some Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star
i love that album but i always heard the pressing wasnt great
Outkast-Atliens
Get Dr. Dre The Chronic
I would for sure get more of whatever you like to listen to.
Yeah, quite a weird question to begin with
Have to get Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders to add to your A Tribe Called Quest collection
Midnight Marauders is a classic! I got it solely for Electric Relaxation and was shocked that the whole album turned into a banger.
You were shocked by how good a Tribe album was? Now I'm shocked.
Yeah I'm fairly new to life and only knew the one song. After buying the record I realized I scored! You have to think, these albums were made before I was and my parents weren't into them. So it was on me to figure out what they had to offer.
Gotcha...in that case, I suggest listening to all thier albums (Spotify). My favorite (unpopular opinion) is "Beats, Rhymes, and Life".
Will give them a go! Take it easy man
>I got it solely for Electric Relaxation and was shocked that the whole album turned into a banger. Nice. This is probably how I'm probably going to feel when I one day get the vinyl copy of Mecca and the Soul Brother solely for T.R.O.Y.
Solid start!
Really good start! Gotta have that Deltron 3030, J5, Digital underground, Blowout Comb. But having a record collection without female vocals is a sin. Koko Taylor, Nina Simone, Alicia Keys, Solange and her sister.
Billie Holiday would like a word with you.
Exactly. Her voice jumps off the vinyl like pure energy. If you listen to a few hours of hip-hop and rap, some classic RnB gives a nice reset.
Lmaoo “Solange and her sister”
Really read my mind there, I was thinking I needed some female performancers. Will check them out!
Alabama Shakes for something a but more modern as well!
Misseducation of Lauryn Hill is a good album too.
Jamila woods is amazing too
Bahamadia
Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Black Star GZA - Liquid Swords clipping. - Visions Of Bodies Being Burned Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth I feel those kinda mix in well with what you got already
Will definitely look into these - thanks!
While you're at it, check Talib Kweli's Liberation. Such a great record!
Nice start. Definitely get Blackstar, Black on both sides or 36 chambers
Whatever you like dude! But my suggestion: Big Pun - Capital Punishment
1983 by Flylo or Until The Quiet Comes
Or Los Angeles. I’ve been on the chase for 1983 for a hot minute
i sold a mint copy of 1983 for $220 recently. still have my personal copy. one of my favorite debut projects from any producer
This is a hard flex. Pop off, king. And yes. Flying lotus is hands down my favorite musician/artist, free.
Dude i just skipped through this album and literally every sample is offbeat, what da heck
Damn cant believe it's worth that much $ o $
its really not i just got lucky tbh. there must have been a serious flylo fan out there willing to get a mint copy at any price edit: i didnt even intend on selling it originally. priced at 220 thinking nobody would buy it 😂
Lol for real. Looks like 80-120 is the going rate. Still happy I copped ages ago for $15 lol.
super dope collection dude.
I bet luck of Lucien sounds great
RATM
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue You will like it. It will grow with you. It will get you laid.
Good start! Would recommend 808s and Heartbreak to add to your Kanye collection
Doggystyle by Snoop. illadelph Halflife by Roots. Anarchy by Busta Rhymes
Get anything that dre produced
Nice. More MF DOOM!
I can recommend Run The Jewels, they make some fast and political rap music if you are into that
Welcome 2 Detroit by J Dilla or ATLiens by OutKast
Whatever you like. Personally i have taboo by denzel and At.Long.last.asap coming in soon
Run The Jewels
Beautiful collection. May I suggest adding Reasonable Doubt and The Infamous. I have those two on vinyl and I always just let the whole album play.
Definitely need a Kendrick album
If you're a DOOM fan, pick up Madvillian while it's available. Madlib and DOOM
Where’s it available?
Check the Stones Throw site
Oops, my bad. I just checked Stones Throw and it's sold out. Discogs is your best bet. Plenty of copies. https://www.discogs.com/Doom-And-Madlib-Madvillain-Madvillainy/release/17251129
Dr. Dre - 2001 (arguably the greatest produced hip-hop album ever)
Cool!!
Funky technician you need young padawan
Looks good, Nas illmatic is essential! I would go with some Wu-tang for the next pick up
Keep going through DOOM and his various aliases. FlyLo has a great discography as well, if you like him check out his frequent collaborator Thundercat
When I first bought some vinyl I tried so hard to find Get Rich or Die Tryin and I was so happy when I found a brand new one. Idk if there more available now though
More ATCQ, More DOOM!
Awesome collection! Love your music taste.
BlackStar
Broken bells eponymous debut its danger mouse and the dude from (the shins?). Wild
I see cosmogramma. I upvote. If you like flylo, you should check out his aunts work, Alice Coltrane.
Sweeeettttt cosmogramma! Love it. If you like hiphop I'd recommend checking out some Gangstarr.
You have a good ear for being 17 and a dope start to a collection
I was so disappointed by the I Hate Being Bi-Polar record. No label at all on the record itself, just green
Personally the top left quadrant is the best in your collection and going by that you've a whole mountain of classic 90s and early 00s hiphop to pick up. I envy you heading stuff like early mobb deep, Wu Tang, Outlast etc for the first time. Enjoy!
Duh, all the other Death Grips albums
I heard Wu-Tang ain’t nothin to f*** with. Try 36 chambers or ODB return of the 36. Geto Boys- We can’t be stopped is classic.
You should try getting Year Of The Snitch! Mines printed on a clear vinyl
Man, Fantano will be proud of you
Good. Next pick up should be madvillainy

Why does everyone have to mention their age when they show their record collection?
Stop asking people what to get and just get what you like lmao
Get a Tyler record
Kanye fan good on you.
Some ogs on your joint.
Trade in your Kanye West and pick up Frank Ocean or more DOOM
Nah trade in all doom and get more Kanye, Drake and Weeknd.
Madvillain- Madvillainy. Doom & Madlib.
What’s that middle one
Flying lotus - Cosmogramma
Mista thug isolation, but do you homie
Get good kid maad city !!!
Probably not on vinyl but check out syntax records, some soul rap, not just made to make money. God bless.
Great taste, Gil Scott-Heron “Pieces of a Man” vinyl. Thank me later.
Pusha T - Daytona
Keep living… 😁
Illmatic for life
YeeZus

Ready to Die by Biggie?
does late registration sound good on vinyl
The Mm Food is the one that caught my eyes🤟🏻 good shit for a 17yo
Mannnn amazing records so far!
If new, good kid, m.A.A.d city or To Pimp A Butterfly, whichever you prefer, they’re both pretty good for vinyl If old, something by OutKast, maybe ATLiens, their debut is underrated too
Dooooope collection! Enjoy! 🙌🤙
Dead prez-Let’s get Free, Run the Jewels 4
Cormega- the realness
