Bringing together the many artists Peanut Butter Wolf has worked with over the years, My Vinyl Weighs a Ton is a veritable who's who of Left Coast talent. Integrating pyrotechnic lyricism from Cali MCs like Rasco, Planet Asia, and the Lootpack with the finest in turntablism skills around the world, the disc challenges both the hegemony of East Coast hip-hop and elevates scratch DJing to its rightful place at the center of rap music's revival. Underneath it all are Wolf's infectious grooves and vibrant soundscapes, which manage to be at once diverse and consistent. Here's one big bad wolf you don't need to be scared of. --Oliver Wang

 Peanut Butter makes good JAM March 19, 2006

Infectious grooves and vibrant soundscapes says it all. Peanut Butter Wolf [owner of popular underground label- Stones Throw Records [Madlib, Oh No, Quasimoto, Wildchild, Lootpack, etc]- takes us on a west coast journey through dope mixing, scratching, and rhymes. A must own if you are a fan of ill production, Stones Throw, West Coast underground hip hop, good hip hop in general. Heavily rotated.
R.I.P. Charizma.

I just got this CD and it is beyond belief how utterly dope it is. If you are looking for old skool dj beats, scratching, mad skillz, this is it. I haven't heard anything this good in a while. Buy it. Steal it. Burn it. Whatever...This thing is bumpin.

One of my top ten all time favorite c.d.s. This album is so good that I have a copy! I mean the songs are well done, the selected artists are only the best, because PBW knew exactly who he wanted on the roster. Rasco, Planet Asia, Lootpack, Biz Markie, Kazi, Mr. Dibbs, the late Charizma(r.i.p.), DJ Babu, Zest, Pablo, Dave Dub, and a load of DJ's smart enough to beat children at spelling bee's. "Casio" is my favorite track, as he displays his talents on the tables of fables. All of the tracks are worth playing at least 60-100 times. Literally.
Buy it, steal it(not really), burn it, borrow it, doesn't matter, but own it. Go on I'm waiting.

This is one of the tightest albums that I've ever heard. If you've never heard of Peanut Butter Wolf (which essentially means that you're from the East Coast), go and find an MP3 or something.... because he's probably as good as it gets for people who produce what could be called hip-hop.....The title of this album is a shout to Public Enemy and a reference to the great phallic object of DJs, his record collection. This is a smart record with great rappers: when he's producing, he lets them rap and only does a lot on the tracks that are instrumental, which, of course, are amazing.... This is a rabidly funny album and a must for people who listen to stuff like Handsome Boy Modelling School (or anything with Prince Paul or Automator) or of good West Coast rappers (Quasimoto and Rasco are on this) or hip-hop in general, get this. It's real good stuff.
