I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings
For førti år siden ble Def Jam Recordings grunnlagt i et studentrom på NYU's campus. Denne drømmen om å lykkes blant studenter sendte sjokkbølger gjennom musikkhistorien som fortsatt merkes og kommer til overflaten. Den bidro til å føre hip-hop fra en undergrunnsmusikk i NYC til den dominerende formen for popmusikk over hele verden.For å feire plateselskapets jubileum har VMP samarbeidet med DJR om I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings, en 5-album, 9-LP boks-sett som forteller utdrag av Def Jam Recordings-historien, og gir et innblikk i selskapet som gikk fra studentrom til styreleder rom til nesten hvert rom på jorden.Begrenset til kun 750 enheter, vil den aldri bli trykket opp igjen.

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).

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.
