His last few albums were pretty uneven, but they contained some real great songs

They're way better than Macklemore for my money.

And I honestly feel like Macklemore has ripped off their style quite a bit. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I doubt it.


Macklemore has said before that Slug was a major influence... so was Sage Francis as well as most so-called "emo-rappers" of that era. He ripped them off as much as they ripped off Big Daddy Kane.

So I got Speaking in Tongues from you guys and it looks beautiful ( why wouldn't it you're a big Heads fan) but it's a lot thicker than all the records I've seen and skips on my player. Does it have something to do with the weight of the record?


In part yes. In part also by the way the tonearm on your turntable is balanced.
The balance of your tone arm is adjusted to be a certain height above the turntable, and thicker vinyl raises the height of your vinyl - enough to put your tonearm off balance.
If you have a turntable with anti-skating (with an adjustable weight on the far side of the tonearm) you should be able to adjust it slightly in order to keep the record in the grooves (note the position of the dial so you can switch back and forth).
If you don't you can always try the old "stick a penny on top of your cartridge" trick (not highly recommended but sometimes unavoidable).


Hope that helps!
Yay! Thank you for your support.

We have the new Deltron in stock... also still have a couple of copies of Kendrick Lamar and Asap Ferg records. Should be getting the (old) new Death Grips next week!

Any new hip-hop album we receive is usually bought within a few days of our putting them on the floor. But we are more than happy to take special orders!
