2006 Original Pressing
The last day of the challenge called for the last album released by an artist, band, or MC before their untimely death – well this album was about 75% complete when J Dilla passed. There’s not enough that could be said about his contributions to hip-hop.
2003 Original Pressing
In my(Primo Rick’s) humble opinion, @madlib is the greatest hip-hop producer. Look up any record with a Madlib feature, and it won’t be a coincidence that it’s one of the best tracks on the album. So they opened the Blue Note vault for him? Yeah, sign me up! #thegoat
1995 Original Pressing
Today’s challenge is as much about this World Cup as it is about next year’s, when the women kick it off in France. Today we reminisce about that ‘99 ?? team that won it all in PKs here at the Rose Bowl. Brandi Chastain made a name for herself that year, similar to how an MC, by the name of Lauryn Hill, made a name for herself with this cut in ‘95.
Original Mexican Pressing – Year Unknown
The Escamilla’s (Primo Rick’s fam) hail from Aguascalientes, so that piqued my interest, but then the track listing..! I’m a sucker for covers. I was kinda bummed when I discovered it was an instrumental album, but still it’s a great and relaxing listen.
2016 Limited Edition Pressing
Today’s challenge called for us to pick a record to save if the house caught fire. Well Primo Rick and I are in 100% agreement in feeling that Milo’s record is definitely worth some smoke inhalation. We seek out any record that he puts out, but this one is perfect. The chemistry Milo has with Kenny Segal is beautiful and so is the album, front to back!
