Wow that's a crazy collection.. Mine is far from that, and I don't think THAT much about if it is original press or not, but I'm beginning to learn more about if it is original or not.. I also kinda just started..

How do you check if a record is OG when you're out in a store? Any special tactics? So far I have only been able to check it when I get home on the internet, by checking record label, Catalogue Nr. etc.. Doesn't seem like I have been tricked yet though

2LP: Pharoahe Monch - Infernal Affairs - Original US Press

[kevlar]

some old white label test pressings of 12" singles on the enjoy label

i got a krs one and treacherous 3 single with a misprinted label that didn't get a proper release.  the only way to get this joint was to buy this record that had a label that said it was something else.  i must've bought 5 copies of this record before i came across one that had the krs one joint on it. 

the two promo only mc eiht singles with the dj spinna remixes on them

the promo only phaorahe monch single where he's shouting out the different hoods of the bay area in the chorus. 

promotional 12" single for raekwon's "baggae handlers" - that's pretty rare, huh? 

used to collect alot of jazz/soul records with breaks on them.  i have an original 45 of the winston's "amen brother" which was sampled by nwa for "straight outta compton".   i got tons of records like that.  all og's.  no represses or comps. 

i got the mickey mouse club record with the fat ass drum break on it. 

i got weird soundtracks for obscure kids type animal movies that are super funky.  but i'm gonna keep those to myself lol

what yall know about the promo only dj premier remix of bone thugs "first of the month"?

[Suga Foot]

off the top of my head I got:

E-A-Ski "Earthquake" single on vinyl (Columbia Records)
I got a King Tee promo vinyl on Aftermath

Nate Doggs death row album sealed.

I got some og world class wreckin cru vinyls too

[The "Untouchable" DJR]

[Brigante]

Sole - Skin Deep

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

The most rare stuff I have is just this dang origional 213 "I Don't Like To Dream About Gettin Paid" single that was really popular in my hood in Long Beach back in 1990.  Other than that I just have this Eminem "Infinite" vinyl and "Slim Shady EP" cd that were popular back when I was chillin at the freestyle circuits of Detroit back in 1998.

Hmmmm what else... ohh yeah, I got this copy of some stuff 2pac has been working on in his hideout in Senagal for the last few years.... and then I got this freestyle cut that Bigfoot did in collaboration with the lockness monster... and some underground shit Eminem did with Scam that I got on Vinyl.  Ohh yeah.. and this origional 2pac vinyl he did back when his name was still MC New York when he was working the underground of New York. 


....naw, really, probably the most rare thing I got is just this Bizzare "Attack of the Wierdos" EP I ordered from Hip-hopsite.com back in 00'.
