hype

so many artists are just trying to pimp the hell out of the vinyl game lately with absolutely absurd prices.. it's getting pretty pathetic honestly.. as much as I prefer vinyl the sound quality and aesthetics of having the physical version is def. not thatttt much better then just grabbing the flac version and calling it a day when it gets to prices like this.

I'm just not digging it-- though I really only listened to it once, so maybe I should give it another shot. I enjoy some of the skits and whatever, but I'd almost rather listen to a Busdriver project. 

I agree, I skipped this release. His flow gets extremely old on this album by the midway point for me & the beat selection is also pretty weak for a decent amount of the tracks. His newer stuff is significantly better even though I am still not a huge fan of even that.

The fucked up thing is this will sell out for sure and they will just continue to charge these obscene prices like past releases. 

I have a strong feeling we are going to be seeing some variants pop up of this so I am going to wait it out a bit but this is awesome to see!

I like to know my vinyl has been around the block a few times. All those enchanting skips and beautifully haunting pops does things to me no virgin vinyl could dream of doing! Basically, what I am saying is.....

I fucking love that shit bro! #Fistbump *EXPLODE!*

Hey man 180 gram is 180 gram.

The other day I weighed my collection and sure enough I have a record that is only 167 grams while my friend has a copy of the same record that is the full 180 grams and I hear details in his copy that just are not present in mine  : //  #fuckingIRATE #mylifeisover

First thing I thought when I seen so many people complaining is they knew they would either get a good discount or a free album so now that VMP is not letting them keep it on top of a refund they are even more pissed and "outraged". I mean it is a fucking copy of a 90's hip hop album that still looks and sounds great supposedly which is pretty readily available in standard black for $10-15. I could see a bit of a disappointment over it not being a gate fold because I hate that as well with 2 records but it is really not that serious at all. 

Good album but still about $630-635 too rich for my blood.

Yeah, TMR has pretty much become a flipping hipsters shitshow paradise at this point. Whenever I see a limited release I just ignore it since I do not live near a store and have no desire to pay crazy prices in the secondary market since 80+% of there releases are now bought by flippers. 

This is Samuel Cooke we are talking about so I say you just go balls to the wall and treat yo self to the nearest haven aka Urban Outfitters and get yourself a fancy little record frame then head upstairs to get the flyest fucking outfit to present that framed masterpiece to future company BUT ONLY wear this outfit when you first introduce people to it and friend, those two pieces will last you a lifetime!

Thanks dude, I've actually never heard of this and used your referral. 

 

Got Chris Stapleton - Traveller, mewithoutYou - Pale Horses, and The Mountain Goats - All Hail West Texas for $35 shipped. 

No problem, Thanks! They are trying desperately to compete with amazon so they have been running a lot of promos. A couple weeks ago they had one where if you used the google assistant on your phone you would receive $15 towards a target purchase along with another one where free shipping is only $15 site wide for a month and several others before that. I def. recommend keeping an eye out for future emails from them! Not usually big on buying from Walmart but with deals like these I have no problem with it at all haha

Another thing, if there is anything wrong with your order as far as damage or it being late you can message google express support and they will usually throw another $10 credit your way. Luckily I have only had one problem so far after about 4-5 orders.

I am sure a lot of you have heard about the referral system on google checkout by now where you give a referral your link and you both get $10 off but they just added that free shipping is good for orders $15 and above (Until May 4th) on all sites versus $25-35 you usually have to spend to get free shipping (this is somehow targeted and i'm not sure how they choose but most seem to be getting it). There are some crazy deals where quite a few albums come out to under $10 shipped!

Even with the normal 25-35$ shipping limit there are some great deals to be had with Walmart price matching amazon on so much stuff. I usually stay away from Walmart but the prices on Music and Movies with this deal is pretty damn good.

Here is my referral link but you can also find countless others all over the place.

A good example is the new Grayson Capps I got for $6.56 after shipping and tax.

I wish there was a list of records someone made like last time this happened a few years ago 

That would be nice since asking an employee there turns it into a complete shit show.  They say I have to go upstairs pick them out and then come back down, wait in line and then they can check for me. Then repeat if I want to know anymore. All hella awkward trying to carry 20 albums at once so I don't have to go back and forth a bunch. Only time it was worth doing this was when a bunch were $1-2 and even then I probably only got half of what I would have if there was an easier way.

Would you feel comfortable ordering multiple records from Walmart.com? Might cancel my Amazon orders and order from them since they have the records I want in stock plus I can get a 20% discount.

I ordered from them for the first time and two of the three got cancelled due to "being out of stock" even though they were available again within a day or two but the third one just arrived today and it was in an lp mailer that was identical to the amazon records I recieved so i'd say you should be good. As long as I can get them shipped and do not have to go to the actual store I might order from Walmart again in the future.

You can also use a $10 off 30 coupon if you use a referral which is what I did. Juse google and find one or you can pm me if you still need it. 

I finally was able to swap. The guy said he just found out the plan for the record yesterday and could do the swap haha not sure why it took an entire week to get to that when all the members already knew but I got it so its all good in the end.

Surprised as well that T.Y.E. - 32 is still available in the flash sale for only 13.. Really solid album and a steal at that price imo.

This guy on there support is ridiculous.. I already corrected him on something else as well so I am not even surprised.. Thanks though, i'll shoot one more email now that he is obviously wrong again.

It is.

You sure Guru is because they just told me in an email it was not a swap option this month?

Just now, got PTSD from RSD said:

It is.

Damn, that is good to hear. Thanks! I might just swap for that then.

Yeah, I seen that 3 month hip hop gift subscription but I already have the Erykah Badu which stopped me from getting it last month as well. It's all good though, just frustrating.

Anyone that's a current member know if Guru is a switch option this month?

It is frustrating seeing them get these hip hop exclusives that I want really bad but I have absolutely zero interest in any of there record of the months lately. People flipping them hard too.

Hell yeah, I am going to grab both of those.. Anything from the LL crew is great to see on vinyl. Hopefully Eligh's new album gets a release date sometime soon as well!

Damn, I thought I was going to sign back up for this one but I think this is another easy pass for me because those extras are all pretty much worthless to me.

True, it could still ship, as long as the order is active. Mine says: Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.

There was another similar deal from a third party seller on the US amazon a year or two ago for the set and it took awhile to get them all out but I believe the majority all ended up getting it including myself so hopefully you're good! Great set as well, it was pretty cool listening to the sessions and pre-album demos then back to the original album. I still haven't even watched the dvd though.

Shipping was only 8.70 to California but after tax it still shoots it up to $36 which still makes it an easy pass for me sadly.
