I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings

For fyrre år siden blev Def Jam Recordings grundlagt i et kollegieværelse på NYU’s campus. Denne portion af studenterambition ville sende chokbølger gennem musikhistorien, som stadig mærkes og stadig når kysten. Det ville hjælpe med at bringe hip-hop fra et undergrundsmiljø i NYC til den dominerende form for popmusik over hele kloden.
For at fejre pladeselskabets jubilæum har VMP samarbejdet med DJR om I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings, et 5-album, 9-LP box sæt, der fortæller fragmenter af Def Jam Recordings’ historie og giver øjebliksbilleder af pladeselskabet, mens det gik fra kollegieværelse til bestyrelseslokale til næsten hvert værelse på jorden.
Strengt begrænset til 750 enheder, vil det aldrig blive genpresset. Ejer dette stykke Def Jam Recordings historie nu.

A story told through five albums, featuring rappers who contributed to the Def Jam Recordings story in ways small and big.

The goal with this box was not to try to capture the full scope of Def Jam Recordings 40 years; hip-hop has evolved something like ten times during the label’s lifetime. Instead, we wanted to focus on albums that captured snapshots of the label through its upheavals, high points, and transitions. It covers the label’s emergence from its NYC-centric boom-bap heyday with some of its earliest stars (EPMD and Public Enemy). It continues with the label turning its eyes southward (Scarface) while launching the best New York rapper of this century (Cam’ron), ending with the label’s best young MC on top of his game (Vince Staples).

Mic Check…

VMP Anthology goes beyond the five albums included in your box. Alongside your box and the albums within it, we provide in-depth, original Listening Notes. Featuring an introduction by Jeff Weiss and contributions from Jaelani Turner-Williams, Michael Penn II, and Dylan Green, the booklet will serve as a guide through these albums. VMP Anthology isn’t just a box set that’s supposed to gather dust on your shelves — it’s an immersive and transformative story that comes alive for you to spend weeks (or longer!) inside of. We can’t wait for you to dive deeper into Def Jam Recordings’ history and the albums in this box.
