    I have both UK and US press of this 12". US press sounds far, far better. I don't know if the same mastering engineer was responsible for both releases but if you don't need remixes, get this one.

      This has to be one of my all time favourite hip-hop tracks. This is an understated classic.
      "Stakes is high", talks about everything that is wrong with hip-hop and the world in under six minutes and with
      lines like "gun control means using both hands in my land" prove that this record should not be overlooked.
