Yeah, it was mentioned on a podcast that the person on it was doing liner notes for a VMP release of The Coup so I just assume that LA and Oakland the same thing per VMP

I mean it's VMP so that's certainly possible. The relationships to clues are at times... tenuous.

BIce Cube?

I'd honestly prefer either over Beastie Boys, and I really like Beastie Boys and do not yet own this album.

I used to be in this camp until I threw on one of their albums and just forgot it was on. Their sample work is incredible. I know some can take or leave their lyricism and lyrical presentation, but I think their albums are cohesive juggernauts.

I have the previous reissue of Check Your Head and it's honestly great. So I'm not sure VMP can do much with it. Not to mention that just reissued it like last month in box set form.

VMP Check Your Head pressed at GZ or 2009 Check Your Head pressed at RTI?
I think I am good.

Yeah that's the thing. The 2009 sounds really good. Sure the package is kinda crap but... Hmmmm. Perhaps I frankenAlbum.

To play devil's advocate here: GZ CAN do good work...Gravediggaz proves that. If they can stick the landing it could be a really good release.

It’s a glossy gatefold. I will see but $40 for a tip-on sleeve might be a bit too much for me.

It's well and truly frustrating actually.
I just picked up the GZ pressed "Zombie" by Fela and it's pretty fucking sick and not a single issue. That very same session I put on M83's "Before the Dawn Heals Us" which I got at the same time and it's a fucking mess.

But can be better work than RTI? and is it worth $15 more?

No, but that's all based on availability. I personally found copies but that may not be the case for long.
If the GZ version was the only game in town (aside from the $150CAD set) then it shouldn't really be a deterrent, and I'm sure if they can avoid the noise issues it'd be a good reissue.

So if Dilla is for sure the Detroit and if they actually mean LA and not Oakland and it's not the Coup this could be interesting.... This is my favorite part of guess me please, so little information and so many options!!!
I guess if Dilla is like 2000's we're getting something in the 90's and the 2010's? doubt they'd do the 80's from LA unless it's Tone Loc to pair with Young MC... Wonder if they'd do like electro style 80's LA rap....or since they're doing Bruce Springsteen and the Beastie Boys they might as well do NWA? Need those next clues!!!
