Pass The Popcorn: Watch An Extended Preview Of Stones Throw's 'Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Stones Throw's documentary piece Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton is weeks away from its official release and promises to be the comprehensive guide to the label's unbridled success that we all hoped for. In a newly dropped extended preview of the doc, we get a peek into what seems to be the basement/vault of label founder Peanut Butter Wolf and see the man mix it up with his cronies, many of which he helped facilitate the careers of. A doc that's chock-full-of interviews with ST cohorts and hip-hop luminaries alike, shows off  its star-studded guest-list with appearances from Kanye West, Talib Kweli, ?uestlove, and Common--keep your eyes peeled for Madlib and Dam-Funk rocking as well-- cementing the greatness of the organic hip-hop movement that PBW spawned. You can catch the extended preview of Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton below, but be sure to hit your nearest cinematheque when the premiere rolls through in the coming weeks.
