    Runouts on mine match this closer than any other listing on here although they’re not exact. Weighed the actual records too 1 was 190g one was 186g for anyone curios.

          Possibly the greatest rap album to ever come out. Greatly mixes rap with jazzy beats. Terrific storytelling and influence.

            One of the best pressings I've ever listened to. A total joy.

              This is a work of art. Perfection. Plain and simple.

                Absurd pressing. Mine came pretty banged up with surface issues from a retail environment. No problem after an exchange. All that aside, it sounds great. Warm, expansive, dynamic. Great sounding heavy pressing.

                    Edited one year ago
                    Nice pressing, clean and no surface noise. Good dynamics.

                    But side D had a scratch. When the needle touches it, makes a slight click/pop. Fortunately, it's only audible in the Mortal Man interview.

                    It's a really good pressing anyways.
