Hip-hop is for nerds, or so seems to be the sentiment of LA's own Stones Throw records. You won't see the label's founder, Peanut Butter Wolf, getting into any bicoastal feuds, and his falsetto-laden electro cuts and obscure funk beats come from deep within the crates of a man who never touches his comic books with bare hands, let alone his vinyl. Label ward Madlib's appreciation for jazz, subcontinental pop, and silly movie samples reeks more of cortisone than testosterone, and Beat Junkie alum J.Rocc and South Bronx-native Percee P bring it back to the old-school, when people rhymed earnestly about why they loved hip-hop.
