100% agreed. its a damn shame because both of these would pull but now they're just splitting the crowd.
1) i heard the live XM show and it was really dope
2) you can always see Stones Throw cats
id go with Rae but thats me
cosign. seriously, i think99% of the stonesthrow camp is boring as f*ck. mf doom included and especially madlib. besides egon and pb wolf, no one on that roster looks appealing at all.
how many chances does one have to see raekwon w/ a live band? go with the yukon don.
Umm...
i'd consider j-rocc a beat junkie, established artist/dj who happens to sign w/ stonesthrow... but yeah id pay duckets to hear him spin again live.
man the chef was just in town with wu-tang wasn't he? I am in the same town and i am in the same situation... i have already bought my stones throw tickets tho... madlib might not be the greatest live(i've never seen him) but the j-rocc, egon, pwolf are worth it to go hear what they are playing.... as to most the stones throw cats being boring, i would have to say that i saw oh-no lastyear at the 7th street entry and i thought his set was pretty hoppin... you might be suprised
damn
I'm sorry to hear this-where yall at?
El Michels/Raekwon will be in the Chi Thursday night and the Stones Throw crew are here on Saturday.
come to Chicago
Madlib live on drums
If our artists aren't enticing enough (!?!), the limited edition tour merch is well worth the attendance:
Madlib - Mind Fusion Vol. 4: Hip Hop Remixes, Nas Vs. Jay Z, CDP Archives
Madlib - Mind Fusion Vol. 5: Dirty Crates from Around the World & Back Home Again
Peanut Butter Wolf - Yo 45 Raps! Vol. 1: Hip Hop 45s Mix. Vol. 2 from J Rocc on the way.
Peanut Butter Wolf - Bass Your Car Streets and Party Fresh Beats: Mixtape. Title says the rest.
+ many other surprises in-store

BAN shameless promotion.
I need to get that El Michels Affair LP.
That mindfusion artwork is ill. I'm feeling those shirts as well.
I see Raekwon is opening for Redman at HOB/Anaheim in December, but I doubt El Michels Affair will be with him
To each their own. I don't see any reason to slag a label that is obviously putting out music they want to put out, for people that want to hear it. You may not like it, but you have to give them props for just doing their thing. Not to mention the re-issue aspect of Now Again...
I'm always baffled when SS shits on ST.
wtf? if i wanted to see a good show, i'd definitely catch the stonesthrow, i've had a blast at previous shows...one show sucked, but was more about the setup/technical difficulties. seeing doom/jaylib/egon/pbwolf and madlib in one night was one of the greatest concerts i've ever been too, it was diverse act to act (which is has to be if a show is gonna be that long). but how could you watch raekwon solo for an extended amount of time? and i doubt he soley be busting out cuban linx sheit. and even if he did, how much stage presence would he have alone to just go through that. i haven't heard anything i liked from him in years besides that blue eagles track (hard as fuck!) now if he was with ghostface killah or maybe i could be convinced
of all the acts playing that night, i'm most excited to see El Michels Affair, which may make the Raekwon show a little dissapointing if he doesn't give them room to shine.
anybody from the Twin Cities want to hit up the merch table for me????
