Most of the demographic on the Audiogon forum just doesn't match the demographic of the Hip Hop community. I stopped listening to Hip Hop and Rap when it became more Hip Pop in the early 2000s. I have a good amount of Hip Hop and Rap LPs and CDs from the 80s and 90s that I'll put in every so often into my systems. I couldn't tell you which rapper just died unless I searched for it.
One thing I find is some of those albums while great lyrically or musically recording quality wise they are lacking. I remember one Jedi Mind Tricks album where Vinnie Paz would start rapping and I swear I could hear the backing track volume being lowered by the guy behind the booth.
Listen to Deep Cover by Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Doggy Dogg. It sounds like a very unpolished demo.
