Title: Records Stores + Hip-Hop Performences at NYC
Post by: green-eyed bandit on September 25, 2009, 03:58:19 AM

I'm going to NYC in a couple of weeks. The ideal moment to purchase a lot of CD's! (Belgium really sucks big time if you want to buy good Hip-Hop albums) What stores do you recommend?

Also, are there clubs/festivals etc where Hip-Hop artists perform on a regular basis? Just to let you know: I don't want to see R&B or Pop Hip-Hop, but the real shit! ;-)

Thanks!

on the real...i live in NYC and there's very few good music stores...'best buy' is always a reliable one if you're talkin new releases...there's this place called 'disc-o-rama' (there's like 3 or 4 for them) that's pretty for diggin around in.

but all of the good shops are on the west coast b/c most of the good ones over here shut down (everybody downloading)

performances - check out websites for bb kings on 42nd, maybe irving plaza around 14th, and maybe S.O.B.'s on the westside...

Thanks a lot for the info!

How about Tower Records / FYE (Formerly Sam Goody) / Fat Beats? I'v read that Virgin Megastore has closed its doors recently. Will it re-open again?
