VMP has not felt like a club for a hot minute.
Unfortunately.

Need to listen to Zuu again but I liked what I heard.

Yes exactly, I am making assumptions because Rappcats have provided zero information to justify the cost of this so it's all anyone is left to do. To claim that "real fans" will shell out more money for something like this as a justification for the exceedingly high price is odd to me. Yes, many people will buy this and I'm sure it will sell out but SHOULD they have to pay this much for it? I don't think so. I love Madlib but obviously I'm not going to pay this... but the idea that "this isn't for me" simply because I want to know why the price is nearly 3 times the cost of the standard with only a second added disc is a strange angle to me...

This isn't some major label we are talking about. It's Madlib and Egon's labels that are doing this release, so I personally feel like they deserve the benefit of the doubt because I have been an extremely happy customer of theirs for years. Honestly, what makes you the think you are in any position to tell people what they should pay for an exclusive piece of art? That's some serious hubris.

If you want that version you have no other option than to pay the $60 (steep but understandable) plus the beyond exuberant shipping which for me and many others comes to more than the records themselves so yes you have no other option than to eat that bullshit charge

and it's the same tracklist I will gobsmacked if that shit ends up being worth it but power to you

How can the price be "steep but understandable", and also a bullshit charge, and also not worth it all at the same time? International shipping costs being really rough isn't exclusive to Rappcats, come on man.

Your first point about a smaller label is a good one. Costs may be higher for them, I still think that's far too big a jump in cost but I can agree to disagree on that one.
But your second point is patently false. Where exactly did I tell people not to buy it, or say they shouldn't spend their money on it? I'll save you the time of looking, I didn't. I said the people that want this shouldn't have to pay that much, for a double LP with no pressing info whatsoever. So that's pretty much entirely the opposite of what you're claiming I said. If you're going to throw around 4 point words like "hubris" I'd suggest you at least quote me accurately.

You said they shouldn't have to pay $60 for this exclusive pressing. I don't think you are qualified to say what people should pay for a piece of art.

I literally didn't know what point you were trying to make because they seemed to contradict each other. Do you think the price is understandable or is it a bullshit charge? Or is the bullshit charge the shipping that small companies have very little control over?

I think the bullshit charge rest solely on your continued nonsense.

@Mather, how did this guy get ahold of your qualifications? Can you send them over to me? I’d love to take a look. Then I can let you know what you are allowed/not allowed to speak on. Sounds fun :)

I've highlighted the important part of my statement and enlarged the word for clarities sake. That word, is the part that matters here. It's also the word that completely invalidates the second part of your statement.

Just let it go man, we disagree... It's cool.

I would send you over all my qualifications but I'm not sure where I'm going to get a briefcase full of shredded newspaper on such short notice...
