- e12e 13y agoWhile I wasn't familiar with the label as such (I was surprised at Madlib/Otis Jackson being featured so prominently) the recent documentary "Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton: This Is Stones Throw Records" is highly recommended for those that want to get a glance at what the label is all about. And for those that like both poetry and rap, I suggest these two artists (in every way opposite, yet similar): the legendary Gil Scott-Heron: "We Beg your Pardon": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDCfEkopryo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDCfEkopryo And young Kate Tempest (here with Canibal Kids): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUEsihgq8zU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUEsihgq8zU I'm also partial to "the Streets", RZA and a lot more "mainstream hip-hop".
- sizzle 13y agothanks for the recommendations!
- e12e 13y agoYou're most welcome. And thank you for the thanks -- it wasn't entirely given that anyone would read them and enjoy them... [edit: unless you're profile page is meant to be a riddle/tease, I think you might want to put some actual contact info in there... Just, saying (no, I don't have a start-up for you (yet anyway) :-) ]
