I just would like to make the unaware aware of two of my most favorite podcasts..
-Stones Throw Records podcast
Stones Throw is a CA based hip hop label.. home to Madlib, MF Doom, sometimes J Dilla (r.i.p.), and not to mention a bunch of collaborative projects featuring various mc's/producers from within Stones Throw..like Madvillain (MF Doom + Madlib) and Jaylib (J Dilla + Madlib) just to name a couple. (I could go on about how extensive Madlib's career is.. this guy is one of the busiest and productive dudes in hip hop by FAR.. but thats another Blahggg). Anyway, I like to call Stones Throw futuristic, in the sense that, Yeah.. they're a hip hop label, but I believe that hip hop is some of the most futuristic music of today (not to mention constantly evolving and branching like no other genre).. and the hip hop that Stones Throw puts out is some of the most experimental, envelope pushing, and straight up musical shit around. Anyway, to finally hit the original point of this blaaggagagggg, Stones Throw's podcast is really great, and free, so go get it.
-Mad Decent World Wide Radio
Mad Decent, run by the Philly based dj/producer/all around badass Diplo (for another blooabggg), is an electronic/hip hop/dance/club/whateverthefuckyouwanttocallit label. I've only been signed up long enough to get a couple of these, but from what I can gather so far, the podcasts are kind of mixtape style... Like it will start out with an awesome Diplo beat, with a classic 80's hip hop verse plopped on top, to some baile funk stylings (for another blog V.II), to a more straight up clubby dancy type of tune. Very culturally melding, eclectic, and just good beat oriented music.. which is why I like Mad Decent. It's free. Get.
