Cassette Tapes made it possible for rap music to sweep the nation. Cheap and convenient, pioneers such as Too Short sold his first albums out the trunk of his car, coining the term "Trunk Tape". Cassette tapes are also the only form of media some album were released on. These releases are considered to be "Tape Only" and are extremely valuable to rap collectors around the world. |

Long-Playing (LP) Records are vinyl and generally 10-12 inches in diameter. They first served as the primary release format for recorded music. The 12" vinyl record is the very first form of recorded rap & hip-hop in the United States. During this era the only way to have your music heard was to release your album on wax. Rap Music Guide strives to deliver you the most rare and hard to find wax ever released. |
