VMP ANTHOLOGY

I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings

Kırk yıl önce, Def Jam Recordings NYU kampüsündeki bir yurt odasında kuruldu. Bu üniversite öğrencisi hırsı, müzik tarihine dalgalar gönderecek ve bunlar hâlâ hissediliyor ve hâlâ kıyıya vuruyor. Hip-hop'ı yeraltı NYC müziğinden, dünya genelinde baskın pop müziği biçimine taşımaya yardımcı olacak.
Etiketin yıl dönümünü kutlamak için, VMP, I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings üzerinde DJR ile iş birliği yaptı. Bu, Def Jam Recordings hikayesinin kesitlerini anlatan, 5 albüm ve 9 LP’den oluşan bir kutu seti sunuyor; etiketin yurt odasından yönetim odasına, oradan da dünyadaki hemen her odaya geçişini gösteriyor.
Sadece 750 birimle sınırlıdır, asla yeniden basılmayacaktır. Şimdi bu Def Jam Recordings tarihinin bir parçasına sahip olun.

NOTE: Please purchase this product individually, as it cannot be combined with other products in our store.

Orders are expected to ship in December 2024. Timeline is subject to change. We will notify you of any shipping updates.



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.
