"Why aren't hip-hop acts remastering their old work?"


  

          

I've been listening a lot to Aquemini over the last year or so. The production is as timeless now as it seemed back in '98. And while, I'm able to enjoy the mixes as is, I'm wondering why OutKast hasn't remastered this album. And I wonder why other groups like Tribe or Gangstarr or Dr. Dre or The Roots haven't remastered or reworked some of their past work to maximize the aural quality in a way that technology of the past didn't allow.

The odd remastering comes up. ATLiens, DYWM, People's Instinctive Travels.

But you can't tell me there'd be a demand for remastered versions of The Low End Theory or Things Fall Apart and illadelph halflife, or De La Soul is Dead

Is the reason cost? Or time? Or a lack of demand by fans and labels?
