[edit] Hollywood BASIC

Hollywood BASIC [sic] was Hollywood’s short-lived hip-hop subsidiary, run by Dave Funkenklein, which existed from 1990 to 1995. It did not survive the distribution transition its parent made to PolyGram Records, and all of its recordings were deleted, save for those by Organized Konfusion, which were repressed under the new deal. It was the first label to record DJ Shadow, releasing his "Lesson 4" (a reference to Double Dee and Steinski) as the B-side of a 1991 single by Lifers' Group, a hip hop group composed of convicts serving sentences at the Rahway Prison in New Jersey. It also released his Legitimate Mix on the B-side of a single by the group Zimbabwe Legit in 1992.[1] Other notable releases came from Organized Confusion, whose challenging second album Stress: The Extinction Agenda (1994) is widely acclaimed.[2] The label was also home to Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf, although, following the shooting and killing of Charizma in 1993, the music the duo recorded for the label was not released. This would later inspire Peanut Butter Wolf to found Stones Throw Records in order to make this music available.[3]
