    reissue

    and I think "He's The DJ...I'm The Rapper" is the winner. But does it count technically? The 2nd wax is labled 'bonus dj scratch record' or something like that...

    I hear "he's the dj" alot when this question comes up and I think it's in the "book of rap lists."

    Its all the same album tracks, I think they just sequenced it differently on LP

    ah so...I never had the tape or CD. Thanks for that!

    (oh snap! I googled "knowing is half the battle" and this came up)



    this needs some photoshop magic to make it our own

    I've always thought it was Apocalypse 91,(not counting promos and such) but now I realize the folly of my ways.

    When did that dbl of Man & His Music drop?

    I thought I had this before He's the DJ... But I'm probably just getting old and my memory is going...

    Though not commercial, the "Fear Of A Black Planet" radio promo was three discs.

    you might be right. The earliest date I found for this was 1988, but they reissued it so many times on different labels it's hard to tell. I also found a "Memory of A Man and His Music" which is described as a collection of all the hotness off of Criminal Minded, Man And His Music, and Hot Club Versions and came out in 1987 in the UK. So leads me to beleive that Man and His Music was earlier than '88

    memories

    '88 is probably right for Man & His Music... but thats a comp, not really an album... so it doesn't count just like the STREET BEAT above

    Both 1985. If you are counting comps, but there were loads that were double.









    Hmmn, 'Man & his Music' wasn't a real album,' Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince' was what i would've thought.

    I remember how we all commented at the time when 'He's the Rapper...' came out as a double.

    So I reckon that one for sure.

    I think the second proper album after ???He???s a DJ??? and excluding comps etc was 3rd Base/Deralicts of Dialect.

    Man that's a good question. A full length album, not a compilation or bonus disc or promo?? Maybe the Artifacts "Between A Rock And A Hard Place"??
  • PlanetPlanet 589 Posts
    It might even be Pete Rock and CL Smooth's
    "Mecca & The Soul Brother" cause at the time record companies were trying to phase out vinyl and no one was making double LP's. Then there was that whole keep the vinyl alive movement after record companies tried to do this phase and then Elektra officially released Mecca in limited numbers sort of as an experiment to see if there was still a high demand for vinyl. So maybe that was it????? Who know's.
