ericsosh Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Are they still cashing in on his legacy? Or am I too bitter viewing it this way? I mean, I like Stones Throw, but come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 By all accounts the bullshit with his estate has been sorted out, and the proceeds of his work are now going where they belong (to his mum & family). There are a couple of links about it on the stones throw website though I can't be arsed to find them. I've always liked stones throw but I have a ton of respect for pb wolf & co. for handling everything with his family's best interests in mind.

ascdi Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah the whole Dilla medical bills situation is about as far as you can get from "cashing in" if that's what you're worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 stonesthrow right now is trying to co-opt old dark synth pop music they just put out a compilation called 'minimal wave' kind of cool they are giving this type of music like Esplendor Geometrico this type of exposure but i also have to question their motives, big labels that make a lot of money sometimes do questionable things. By all accounts the bullshit with his estate has been sorted out i've heard otherwise, but i guess they could be rumors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you could really call Stones Throw a big label. Also if you know anything about the history of the label and it's offshoot 'Now-Again Records' they're all about celebrating artists and music that have been forgotten or are underappreciated. I don't think there's anything sinister about what they're doing. from Stonesthrow.com: "The Minimal Waves Tapes fits neatly into Stones Throw Records' own tradition of compiling or reissuing the independent music of the past which influences the independent music we make today - 60s funk (The Funky 16 Corners), early 80s hip-hop (The Third Unheard) and West Coast Electro/Rap (Arabian Prince's Innovative Life) to name a few.

" Yep, they're definitely in it for the love of music. PB Wolf really could be releasing stuff by more marketable artists and probably making a lot more money, but he only puts out things that he's truly into as opposed to strictly what will sell.
