So I bought Illmatic today...again

[mobbinfms]

Fifth time.
First I got the cassette. Copped the CD twice...bought the Platinum edition on vinyl, and just picked up the Get Down vinyl version from last year.
I can't think of any other album I've bought more.
It got me thinking though, has anybody bought an album six times??
Also picked up 36 (third time I've bought it) and Pimpire. Both on vinyl

Why didn't you just wait for the 20 year special edition album?

I ain't mad. Trying to get Nasir 2x plat. Shoulda' went diamond. I'm on my third copy myself. One CD given to me, one CD bought, and one vinyl bought.

Doggystyle 4 times.. Might be a 5th cause gonna buy the original release with "Gz up hoez down" on it cause it got stolen at school back in the 90's

Honestly. I'm not interested in having any of those remixes on vinyl (other than I'm a villain) and I wanted the original cover as opposed to the new cover. Plus my platinum edition vinyl was starting to play funny.
And of course, I expect my Coli brehs to have me

Greatest Hip-Hop album of all time

Neg rep for not even reading the OP. I've bought the album in three separate formats. Also - it's the second greatest hip hop album of all time - I'm always gonna have a playable copy on vinyl and CD.
