I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings

Hace cuarenta años, Def Jam Recordings fue fundado en una habitación de residencia en el campus de NYU. Ese poco de ambición estudiantil enviaría ondas de choque a través de la historia de la música que aún se sienten y siguen llegando a la costa. Ayudaría a llevar el hip-hop de la música underground de Nueva York a la forma dominante de pop en todo el mundo.
Para celebrar el aniversario del sello, VMP se ha asociado con DJR en I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings, una caja de 5 álbums y 9 LP que cuenta fragmentos de la historia de Def Jam Recordings, proporcionando instantáneas del sello mientras pasaba de la habitación de un dormitorio a la sala de juntas y a casi todas las habitaciones del mundo.
Limitada estrictamente a 750 unidades, nunca será reeditada. Posee esta pieza de la Historia de Def Jam Recording ahora.

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.
