The legendary one-stop for Rap vinyl and CD consumers is closing its doors, and moving to online.
The store will now move to focusing on online retail, distribution, as well as maintaining its Brooklyn-based label. Fat Beats Records is home to such artists as Black Milk, Ill Bill, Sha Stimuli and KRS-One and True Master’s upcoming project. Over the years, the label has released acclaimed albums such as Black Milk’s Tronic, Torae’s Daily Conversation and Freddie Foxxx’s Crazy Like A Foxxx.
Fat Beats President Joe Abijian said, “This is the start of a new era for Fat Beats. We’re adapting to meet the needs of our demographic by revamping and improving our existing systems. While our website, which stocks everything available in our retail stores, continues to do very well, we’re still exploring our options for alternate retail locations in the future. We’re proud of our legacy and will continue to re-invent ourselves. For now, we’ll see you online at FatBeats.com”
I can’t believe Raekwon would stoop this low to do a song with Justin Bieber. I can expect it from Kanye but Rae…c’mon now. They butchered a classic Wu Tang beat too. WTF?
I’m a big Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath fan and thought this was pretty dope. Ozzy recently brought a 10 year old kid on stage with him to play guitar on his classic “Crazy Train”…the little guy rocked. I also see Ozzy recently worked with the Wu Tang Clan on something for his Greatest Hits album coming out soon. I’m looking forward to hearing that.
Check out this video…he’s self taught.
Ozzy Osbourne has performed with a huge list of musical giants: He jammed with Metallica at last year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anniversary concert in New York, sang for Slash on the guitarist’s recent solo disc, and even hooked up with the Wu-Tang Clan for a track on his greatest hits “Bible of Ozz.” But the Prince of Darkness’s latest – and most pint-sized – collaborator is one of his most intriguing yet: 10-year-old Japanese guitar prodigy Yuto Miyazawa.
How wack is this report? I know AM would be pissed off at this shit. c’mon now….and this was a tribute? Surrender / Encore are serious busters!!
Reports are coming in that the world famous DJ Jazzy Jeff (probably the first “DJ” most Americans ever knew) was removed from Las Vegas club Surrender / Encore after management decided they didn’t like what the DJ was playing at a special tribute to DJ AM. Jeff reported traveled to Vegas specifically for the event (possibly for free) since this was charity event.
This follows Kansas City’s original embarrassment earlier in the year, when Power and Light kicked DJ Jazzy Jeff offstage for “playing hip-hop,” according to Jeff.
