Even the legendary /producers have convinced themselves greatness means numbers. It’s becoming more & more like what happened to the film industry where we increasingly rattle off metrics as a sense of value.

Let’s take for example Jay Z. I like Jay z but I think o.c. Is just as great with his catalog. But you won’t hear it because he was never on the cover of Forbes or XXL.

I've done more lowkey releases like this for lil ugly mane and have a lot of personal ones on my PC for CDr, Boards of Canada, HKE/2184/David Russo and his aliases- usually I do it for artists whose stuff needs better presentation because otherwise I try to avoid making bootlegs in favor of keeping their releases the way they are. I think I'll end up doing one for viper though.

Yeah I spent a good amount of time getting the original versions of his pre "recycle era" phase when he actually made music instead of cashing in on the meme. He has some fantastic stuff that needs better presentation.

Even got a flac version of Hustlin' Thick, ordered a CD from japan to get it. It was originally released in 2003 as a self-titled album under the name "Lee Dogg", before he even went by Viper

2010 was the year it started.

These are the albums I would consider to be essential, with "Viper Beat Loops" being a giant collections of remastered and cleaned up instrumental loops from his albums.

The few projects that were completely original after 2010 are as follows:

Lisa Jaynes: Album he produced for someone named Lisa Jaynes that turned out incredibly s***ty

Rich And NOT Famous (Crackposting Edition): Afaik it was a cleaned up version of an already original album for an old fangroup he had

World Rap Star: I've heard viper fans like this a lot. He did it all on his own afaik

Tha Top Malla: Same deal as the above album.

Death 2 Snitches (REDACTED): Scrapped album that was being produced by Nmesh; released as an EP.

5-9 Piru Music (The Gang, the Album, the Label): Completely original album where he barks like a dog on every single track

They Hate Me Cuz I'm Vaporwave: Album produced and compiled by some shady label that was going to make this cost money but had it leaked. I like it a lot.

'Bout Tha Money: Some label sent viper a bunch of dreamy beats and he spit on them

Kill Urself My Man: Not completely original but a great collection of tracks he made during the peak of the recycle era

There's definitely a few others out there, I used to help the guy who ran the viper channel with compilation albums to collect all the original tracks but i have no idea where they are anymore cause I haven't messed with those files in a while
