Spotify is great but has a lot of gaps in their catalog and they are missing several classic hip hop albums.

Here's some stuff that has become available recently:

The Beatnuts - Street Level: https://open.spotify.com/album/1n2buVQq ... HvXrJqpVVQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Pete Rock and CL's The Main Ingredient is still missing but they have "In the House" as a single: https://open.spotify.com/album/6LOo41IR ... cv1JfD9-Aw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not sure how useful this thread will be to others, but please add-on...

Ironically I was thinking the same thing this am because they don't have The Chronic either. They do have a good catalog in general and even some less popular/obscure Hip Hop that I wouldn't expect them to have. But there are some glaring omissions as well.

thanks. street level is one of my all-time favs.

Funkdoobiest - Brothas Doobie: https://open.spotify.com/album/33SkKSM7 ... jJhlPlO4gA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Miilkbone - da' Miilkrate: https://open.spotify.com/album/63Az1WS3 ... 3qZojNZGtA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Delinquent Habits - Here Come the Horns: https://open.spotify.com/album/0crKVrdc ... YUjL1vUBOA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yeah they're missing a lot in terms of Golden Era Hip Hop, but I'm pleased to have found some gems on there that I never heard otherwise. I sometimes @ Spotify on Twitter to remind them of songs that are missing from their collection.

This Too Brown album is a new favorite of mine, sounds like they ripped it straight from the vinyl LP: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5CljI7ys0kOgnKghmpnNwz" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Extra Curricular's Groove Me single from '89: https://open.spotify.com/album/11ctqWUPiJCNigjl6BtETE" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Some good stuff by Tiplove and Baritone is on Spotify too.

Not hip hop but Peter Gabriel's solo catalog was upped a few days ago:

A funky jam from 1988 by a crew called Reel Deal: https://open.spotify.com/album/3oNODMDwJbmByyqRjXfD2A" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Know any Spotify users worth following for their playlists? I find that most user created playlists leave a lot to be desired (unfocused, uninspired, random collections of tracks with too many cliche/overexposed songs, etc.)

Yeah, plenty of your favorite artists and record labels host their own playlists on there. Q-Tip is one who's heavy on Spotify. I discovered a cool playlist of all Soul music curated by Ghostface Killah himself. Check out R.A. The Rugged Man, B-Real and more.
