About to listen to the newest episode.
BTW I noticed Albert Einstein is no longer on streaming services. It was basically one of the only albums of his left that still was.
I really hope his estate issues get cleared up. Selfishly I want to be able to access his music on streaming, and I want to be able to hear Hegelian Dialectic parts 2 and 3. But ultimately I've at least got his music stored in places where I can hear it.
What
really bums me out about these legal issues are all the people that are not able to easily get into P's solo material posthumously. In the modern era when we've lost greats like Dilla or Sean Price, it's been very easy for the next generation or people that may have missed out to pull up Spotify or Apple Music and check out their catalogues. So far this hasn't been able to happen because the HNIC albums, Hegelian Dialectic, Bumpy Johnson, and now Albert Einstein...all have been yanked down from streaming services. The only ones left are Product of the 80's and Return of the Mac.
I know that people can still get put on to Mobb Deep, but P has one of the most underrated solo discographies in hip-hop. HNIC, HNIC 2, Albert Einstein, and Hegelian Dialectic are 4 incredible albums and it's a god damn shame that people can't just stumble upon them on their favorite streaming services.
I can't think of any other legend where this has been an issue for this long. It's coming up on 2 and a half years and I'm SURE things will get wrapped up, but who knows how long it could be.
