What has happened to STR? They used to be the most innovative underground hip hop label with some of my favorite artists signed or affiliated with them (Doom, Madlib, Oh No, MED, Dilla etc...). Now they have basically turned into the new Death Row Records making a living off rereleases and cheap marketing schemes (Madvillain 2 being a remix of the original), or weird alternative music...
Stones Throw Records
- Thread starter Ry
- Start date
What did Kno say? I didnt know he made comments about ST.
I said it was a marketing ploy because the people are waiting for Madvillain 2 to come out, meaning all new material and they drop a remix album with the same name.
I havent written them off, but it seemed like 1-2 years ago everything they dropped was dope. Now they are putting out shit like James Pants, Heliocentrics and so on, which is cool and all but the label was built on hip hop and thats what thier fans expect.
They have always been one of my favorite labels and I used to pick up everything they dropped, not so much anymore...

lots of fledging underground labels went off to do things their flagship artists werent known for
maybe its cuz their original market (you guys) dont buy cds anymore , and georgia anne muldrow fans do maybe . def jux is putting shit out like dizzie rascal and chin chin , a far cry from mr lif and cannibal ox
