Dr. Dre 2001 album, BIG - Ready To Die, SWV, etc.. isn't bad.

This. I struggle to believe Finesse is a broke rapper. Royalties must be keeping him comfortable.

Also, did Rawkus have a decent 12" catalog, or am I somehow blending them with Fondle Em in my mind?

Yes. There 12" catalogue from 1997 - 1999 is the reason they had the reputation they had. They were primarily a 12" based company.

i like kweli's first solo record more than blackstar (tho it's still on rawkus). a case can be made for the def jux stuff over co flow as well I've never really cared for Kweli. Of all the early Rawkus material, his releases tended to be my least favourite. Even that 'Fortified Live' / '2000 Season...

Greater success, lesser quality?

out of court settlement is not published. $10 mil was the suit, not the settlement. some faulty journalism. makes more sense. Wouldn't make any sense to settle for more than your net worth. All reports say it was settled without going to trial, which means they would have reached an agreeable figur...

Rawkus, directly as a label, really has no decent track record when it comes to artists albums (give or take Co Flow 'Funchrusher Plus', as I thought this was released on Official, distributed through Rawkus, but discogs seems to suggest otherwise). Compilations is a slightly different story: 'Sound...

Ha ha. Did you see the pics from Kam's blog, where they were on a record buying trip - the picture of all the Big L 'Devil's Son' promos?

As it goes, it seems MK has most of the Deal Real pics.

Pete's on facebook (Peter Bond I think his name is). Dont think he's involved in anything music related though. I didnt get to Deal Real that often but used to go to Handspun once a month.

It's DITC producer Ogee.

Have you not considered that the original owner of the record may have actually played the record on a number of occasions over the years, or maybe it was a spare? Parting with something that is almost 20 years old doesn't mean the owner hasn't used it for its intended purpose. Your line of thinkin...

So, whomever owned this record (somebody you're presuming that was given the record by Premo) isn't allowed to part with it for fear of turning a profit? That's bonkers. Set aside the presumption that the wax was gifted to the seller by Premier (I know of heads who work in pressing plants who have ...

I wonder how DJ Premier feels about someone sellin that shit when obviously whoever sold it is someone Preem probably gave that too, or someone associated with the person Preem gave that too. Seems kinda fucked up to sell somethin like that and make a profit when it’s not your profit to be made. I ...

There used to be a thread dedicated to Party Breaks, but try as I might I cannot find it.

It's Q-Tip/Pos and Large Professor on the cover.

I actually own 9 of the 13 EGO TRIP issues but not that one.

I have this issue -I may even already have it scanned. I'll try and get some of it up on my wordtothemother.tumblr.com blog soon.

Over at the DWG forums, Drew Huge (of Fat Lace and Hip Hop Connection fame) often sells original, vintage Hip Hop posters. Worth giving him a nudge and seeing if he has any Tribe prints.
