S/D: Stones Throw Records

anyway, i still want to know what's worth getting on stones throw.

OXNARD REPRESENT.

Funky 16 Corners is worth having. That Jukebox one isn't.

Anyway yeah the Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf album is terrific, and the description of it above is ridiculously dead-on. The first thing I thought of was Big L minus the new york thug posturing.

The Lootpack album is great, saying something is "Sub-pharcyde" is not an insult as the Pharcyde's first album is nigh-untouchable. The Lootpack album is still wonderful.

Madvillain is obv. greatness.

Jaylib is...ok.

scott seward...why the revulsion towards "jazzy" hip-hop? I hate the words used as a description because they are woefully inadequate to describe sample based early 90s hip-hop and are rock critic terms. It seems to me like you might be reacting more to the critical diction rather than the actually music.

if you have the blue note cd he did, check out the untinted cd. its on blue note as well, and is basically all the originals madlib remade for his album. its cool to compare.

And the promo stuff for the Rels album is working the nu-jazz tag hard. But I like it a lot anyway. It's cool. Great beats.

Agreed. Or he at least should, y'know, actually practice and learn how to play keyboards before releasing any more of that material.

the man behind funkaho also did the best zine of all time "jank"

D: Yesterday's New Quintet, Breakestra, etc.

Also, I have Funky 16 Corners and it's kinda cool.

i have the Oh No album (Madlibs bro) whcih has some superb tracks as well as filler .. and then there is the return of Quasimoto soon. i never heard the unseen album .. but i have the new ep .. aint sure what i think just yet .. its a mixture of superb loops and the trademark helium vocals which i suspect after a few spins could really annoy ..

anyone jumped on the recent cd/DVD set .. worthy of hardearned ?

or a one spin only DVD ?

also .. my copy of Vinyl Weighs a ton is on Copastetik recordings - not Stonesthrow .. did Stones reissue it ?

so much. so little time..

i think i still have that wildchild cd somewhere. and there is one declaime(dudley perkins?) song thats good.

lol, how we used to talk

theres like 30 threads from 2004 where you get butthurt by standard ilm dismissal of jazzrap

its still weird to me dudes call things 'jazz rap' that arent jazzmatazz or the first digable planets album.

You critizie our method of how we make records
you said it wasn't art, so now we're gonna rip you apart
Stop, check it out my man
This is the music of a hip-hop band
Jazz, well you can call it that
But this jazz retains a new format
Point, where you misjudged us
Speculated, created a fuss
You've made the same mistake politicians have
Talkin' all that jazz

thats cuz hes next-level

or maybe my sn wasn't intended to remind you what year it was

deej defends 2004 screenname in shocking rebuttal to am0n

haha i was like 'what AM i doing w/ myself' and then i wondered how u justify spending this time either

what was it intended to remind one of if not the year 2005

is this a good time to also ask about Al's "sitcom" and "hotelopera" screennames

so ahead of my time my parents haven't met yet

wasnt feeling the j rocc album. sounded like a bunch of fake dj shadow tracks - not at all what i expected from j rocc as it just wasnt very funky really (liked play this too a bit though). the one sampling nas was great, and the very last track was great. the rest of it though, nah. sounded quite tired. shame as hes such a great dj.

enjoying this a lot lately -

street date Nov. 1

about 3/4 of the production is straight Madlib, with guest appearances/productions by Aloe Blacc, Talib Kweli, Karriem Riggins, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Alchemist, Oh No, Kurupt

Anybody heard 'The Stepkids' album...not bad not bad...

yeah, its a good'un that stepkids album.
only problem is its too short.

ooops .. wi-fi dropout results in mult. posts !
apologies.

Georgia Anne Muldrow's new album drops in March with Madlib producing. First time he's produced a female artist too, I believe.

well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1

still, this might be something to look out for!

actually went back to strawberry incense on pt 2 yesterday, rad.
i heard the first song from this record & wasn't really feeling it, but'll listen to anything he's doing right now, so still optimistic

I probably should give Olesi some more listens: last time I played something from that album, I was v pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it

Olesi's a wonderful album... in partic, Leroy.

I should have said this will be the first complete album Madlib has produced for a female artist. Lots of potential, hopefully.

well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1

not to mention the best track on pt 2.

i wasn't too into that muldrow/madlib track i heard, but would kill for a full badulib lp.

GAM hasn't topped Olesi but she's done a lot of good work since. Keen for the new one.

is it gonna be on stones throw? anyone know if its being PR'd in the UK?

not necessarily stones throw but that forge your own chains comp that now-again put out a while back is p incredible

Come to think about it, I don't think Georgia's new one is on Stones Throw.

haha, it isn't - just received a tweet saying she's not been on the label since 2006

Okay so I'm off by several years. Still looking forward to it. Ha!

amazing cover, good beats, passable retro battle verses ... but where's the dolemite?

there's barely any dolemite here except some sampled grunts.

lame

new strong arm steady soundin good

thread bump inspired me to throw on the 10 years comp. now I want weed.

What About You (In The World Today) by Co Real Artists was on my wedding playlist -- sort of my little sly jab at adulthood I guess

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17367-alone-together/

has anyone heard this
i can imagine a karriem riggins beattape being just what i need but i don't know, & i feel like it's the kinda thing i'd have to live with rather than hear to suss out

it's as hit and miss and all over the place as you'd expect, enough amazing moments to make it a keeper though. k. riffins and tom tom are both awesome. lots of wonky moog lushness and a bob moog shoutout iirc

this is fun, http://www.stonesthrow.com/news/2012/06/stones-throw-podcast-74

The Stepkids album really stands up...love the P-funk vocal stylings on 'Brain Ninja'...the track they released late last year sounds really promising too...

a little late, but I love this video, and song:

Neat Steely Dan-esque track from forthcoming stepkids record

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-stepkids-ponder-lifes-gambles-in-the-lottery-song-premiere-20130611

I'm looking forward to the doc

alright listened to this stepkids track and ya

the stepkids album is glorious

Really looking forward to this...loved the first album...'Sweet Salvation' and 'The Lottery' are sooo good

diff between this and first album is like the diff between the b&w and colour scenes in wizard of oz

http://www.spin.com/articles/the-stepkids-troubadour-stones-throw-album-stream/ stepkids streamin here

memoirs of grey and the lottery are completely amazing but everything else is kinda so so on first listen

should I post this on the R&B thread?

It's a grower, maybe. It's one of my favourites of the year.

really like this stepkids album

really good, lilys vibe, other things as well, great listen anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgiTkd0AQRQ

really glad that stonesthrow is sometimes just putting out whatever the fuck they feel like now, kind of like numero group putting out those unwound reissues or whatever

New Karriem Riggins - Headnod Suite is good stuff

The Gabriel Garzon Montano album is so great - like weird early 70s soul (Shuggie Otis, Fulfillingness-era Stevie) shot through with some Til I Die-era Brian Wilson melancholy

totally agree and was wondering if i had started a thread for this guy yet. apparently not.

cyclist "bones in motion" is full of spiffy melted C60 warehouse pacman toe tappers.
dj rels album super untouchable my most played of 2017

there's a new dj rels??

ps that's a bee gees rhythm machine just over gabriel's left shoulder in that video above

no new dj rels, i just picked it up late, blown away.
love the way the cyclist disc is equal parts stock aitken waterman & _:zoviet*france:_

Boleros Valses y Mas by Frankie Reyes is a nice, if weird record, basically boleros and waltzes played in MIDI-simplicity on an analog synth
