- Thread starter Low End Derrick
- Start date
MED aka Medaphoar has a had bunch of verses and collabs out over the years with Madlib and a bunch of Stones Throw artists. Check out that Bad Neighbor album with Blu and Madlib
I hear that. He could try to get that book back. But I heard that Egon guy said he doesn't have the book.
At this point it's like a no win.
If he really doesn't have it - ppl are accusing him over nothing.
If he does have it - he's foul.
If he ends up releasing it later - he looks terrible.
My thing is that if he has it give it to Doom's most trusted loved one.
It's a messed up situation.
Dope, I'll check it out. I always liked that building art. Never got around to checking it.

Stones Throw as a label, isn't a problem.
They're indie, but no different than any other record company. Anyone signing with a label or doing business with a label, is supposed to make sure their agreements with that label align with what they want their pockets to look like after the fact. I've seen a million underground dudes not care about focusing on the business part, and then expect the labels to hold their hand and do the work for them, so they can get paid. It doesn't work that way. They have a million people to pay, both working for the label, and doing business with it. They are not going to make sure you do your job in securing your own bag. It's sad that dudes are still not staying on top of their business, in this game.
I've known Wolf forever. He's always been a solid dude. But way too many artists want labels to guide them and oversee every detail of their business. That's just reckless, and these are usually the same dudes who end up not liking what they're making on these albums. Do the work.

It's a bad situation all around. Losing your son and husband, the book is a piece of something worth having.
Why did Madlib doing a beat for Ye rub you the wrong way?
Was figuring Peanut Butter Wolf was a snake, too.

I mean. Ug labels dont clear shyt. Get caught and have to give up big portions of work. Noones gettin a even stevens split on anything. But i figure hed least get something after the fact for an album so big.

Felt like a forced move for mainstream credibility.
It worked for Dilla at the time, Madlib ain't in that lane.
He can do mainstream beats. This late in his career, why?
It was a dope song though, don't get me wrong... just felt forced.

Madlib had mainstream songs before No More Parties, though.
And I dont get the forced allegation, given that the song had been in the works for about 7 years before it was released.

Your point is Madlib was moving as if he was on a major label because he collaborated with Kanye?
Don't act like Madlib was secretly on a major, that was my point.
None of that makes sense, breh.
