RIP Fat Beats

just wanted to say some words about Fat Beats closing their last store fronts.

when i came to ny, i never ever thought that i would be relegated to buying music from some dude in a sneaker store or downloading it (mostly legals). turntable lab is ok, if you can actually find what your looking for. but only if your into stuff a little left (or right) of center or some trash they would run a savalas on the weekend. a-1 is for producers and other music only stocks hipster-hip-hop (def jux, anticon, stones throw). fat beats was where i went to get a new jadakiss single, or pick up an onld beatnuts single. yo never knew, one day you could see digable planets vinyl, other days, you might get a sunz of man lp. they stocked hip-hop. they stocked classics and everything else. where else could you get epmd 12s, or "do the right thing" by the redhead kingpin. fat beats... you'll be missed.
