四十年前，Def Jam Recordings 在纽约大学的宿舍里成立。这一位大学生的雄心在音乐历史中引发了震动，至今仍在深刻影响着音乐的发展。这一创举帮助嘻哈音乐从纽约地下音乐走向全球流行音乐的主流。为庆祝唱片公司周年纪念，VMP 与 DJR 联手推出《I Need a Beat: 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings》，这是一套包含 5 张专辑和 9 张黑胶唱片的盒装套装，讲述了 Def Jam Recordings 的故事，呈现了这家唱片公司从宿舍到会议室，再到几乎每一个房间的历史瞬间。限量750套，绝不再版。现在就拥有这段 Def Jam 录音历史吧。 |
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.
