Stones Throw Records

Um, next song here on the tape, thinking about the butcher shop, meats of the world, so I'm thinking about meat grinders.

I'm thinking about a song from Madvillain, their only record, Madvillainy, from 2004 on the great Stones Throw label, uh, a song called Meat Grinder.

Madvillain is the duo of, uh, MF DOOM and Madlib.

MF DOOM is one of the most lyrically dense MCs, rappers to have ever lived.

Mm-hmm

... that you were talking about earlier, Dave, like, when he was on Stones Throw especially.

Yeah.

And it's like, I didn't really fuck with him then, and now that he has, like, he, he raps, air quotes, less good, I'm more of a fan.

Left a note on your desk.

Benny Sings, Twenty-two Durham Dew ist bei Stones Throw Records erschienen.

[singt] Arms wide open.

Das Superfly Album der Woche.

He wanted to be a hip-hop producer, so he started making his own soul recordings, basically giving himself something to sample without having to clear somebody else's records.

He played some of his work for Peanut Butter Wolf, the founder of Stones Throw Records.

Wolf told him, forget the beats, these soul songs are the interesting part.

From his 2011 album, How Do You Do?, here's Mayor Hawthorne with The Walk.

Right.

Whether it be, whether it be on Stones Throw or whether it be on what- whatever, you know what I mean? It was like, you know.

But, um- So, so yeah, it's tough at the moment.

I was just talking to an artist now and, and it's tough.

You know, I say that with pride that I was the last artist he was working with and, um, so as far as me being introduced to the world, you know, I feel like that was the last gift he was able to give.

Um, I know at one point, Stones Throw was saying they found, you know, a lot of drives and different stuff that he had with music, but, um, they weren't able to find certain songs.

But they were able to find, uh, I got a song, Take Notice, uh, that I did with him.

Um, um, what else? I think a song, Stress, that I did, uh, with him.

You know, I'm like, man, I was so, you know, I was kind of out of it at that time.

But, you know, thankfully they were able to find it.

Stones Throw was able to, um, um, do what they did and, you know, present those joints to the world.

You know what I'm saying? So yeah, it was, it was, it was a good time, man.

Oxnard rapper and producer Oh No.

The solely instrumental album was released by Stones Throw Records on July 31st, 2007, and was described as, quote, an audio

tour of Turkish, Lebanese, Greek, and Italian psych funk.

Sounds interesting.

This is stone stone bullshit.

Dumbass sound bite up top.

Stones throw is bad music to be driving to.

It just irritates and disorients you.

Like, I mean, he's in the Wu-Tang Clan.

And 7L's beats are really, like, alchemist-y, late 90s into 2010s-y, Stones Throw Records-y.

like very upper second tier, you know, one and a half tier J Dilla kind of boom.

But poppier.
