I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings

För fyrtio år sedan grundades Def Jam Recordings i ett studentrum på NYU:s campus. Denna bit av studentambition skulle skicka chockvågor genom musikhistorien som fortfarande känns av och fortfarande når nya stränder. Det skulle bidra till att föra hip-hop från en underground musikscen i NYC till den dominerande formen av populärmusik över hela världen.
För att fira skivbolagets jubileum har VMP samarbetat med DJR på I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings, en 5-album, 9-LP boxset som berättar delar av Def Jam Recordings historia, med ögonblicksbilder av etiketten när den gick från studentrum till styrelserum till nästan varje rum på jorden.
Strängt begränsad till 750 enheter, kommer den aldrig att tryckas om. Äg denna bit av Def Jam Recordings historia 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.
