{"product_id":"check-your-head-2lp","title":"Check Your Head 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome albums define an era, a place, a certain time in one's life; they exist as soundtracks for our memories, bringing that extra scent of poignancy to them. \u003cem\u003eCheck Your Head\u003c\/em\u003e practically defined the summer of 1992 for those who were wary of the mainstreaming of rap and somewhat bored by the insurgency of grunge. By holding their heads firmly outside of any particular musical genre, MCA, Adrock \u0026amp; Mike D. created their own space; distorted, fuzzy, peppered with the swagger of punk and the rootsy earthiness of early-'70s soul-jazz, and layered with ten years of hip-hop know-how.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the opening chords of \"Jimmy James,\" it's clear that the Beastie Boys would have a chance to permanently shed the label of \"fratboy rappers\" that \u003cem\u003eLicensed To Ill\u003c\/em\u003e had forced upon them. Lo-fi, garagy, guitar-riff-loaded tracks like \"Pass Da Mic\" and \"Gratitude\" made it clear that the Beastie Boys could be taken as serious musical forces, even innovators. Yet they could still call back on their silly selves for romps like \"Professor Booty\" and \"Funky Boss.\" One of the best albums of the 90's, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCheck Your Head\u003c\/em\u003e is a turning point for a band and the genesis of a new musical hybrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1.
