Couldn't find the OG thread and thought it may be of interest.

This was a good one, though it's kinda weird that he's dissing 50 cent records when I see so many in the shop there.





Also....RZA autographed the label! Just wait until the guys in the Voodoo Funk thread hear about THAT!!





b/w





Here's the embed:





 
Interesting guy with plenty to say about records, but... wtf is this business about keeping his collection on the shelves in the shop?





"Hey, how much is this?"


"Nah, that's not for sale, that's mine"


"Uh, ok, what about this one?"


"That's not for sale either"






8-/
 
The RZA sig raised a smile although in this case it probably added a fair bit of value to the right customer.

yeah that sort of struck as being a bit odd as well, it didn't seem to make sense that he obviously loved his collection so much that he was on Crate Diggers but it was all on the floor for sale.. to each their own though, this was a dope episode!
 
yeah that was some weird shit, but a lot of fun.


can you imagine having your collection, not for sale, but in a store? shit, back in the days, i would have been pulling the old switcheroos like crazy if the female daytime clerk tried to keep me from buying the off limits records. not anymore, im a very respectful, karma fearing shopper

His explanations and rules are hillarious.





When you hear boom boom, boom boom, boom boom...





Hahahahaha





Very entertaining. Apparently he's never heard the gazillion terrible cover songs out there.
 
got an email last night from a friend asking about the strawberry fields on that sagittarius record...dude's euroman and wants me to buy one and digitize it and email it to him. I'm about to, but a trip just now through the used bins had me sick to my stomach. It's really nice and sunny outside and I'm possessed to skate bro: can't go looking through turdpiles for some beatles cover song. Comeonbro.





Thought I'd ask the Strut if anyone has a lank to this song. Obviously dude searched the tubes before he asked me. I searched the USA tubes and got nothing. Anyone have this and care to put it up? Or can find a link?





As for that vid, I liked it. I did have the same questions about the clash of "my records" and "store." What's going on? Dude starts out talking about his records being stolen is up there with child rape, and then tells me he keeps his records on the bottom shelf of a record store? Very confusing.





And, just to be sure: whatever this Venice Dawn thing is, it's him, and Lana Del Raer is actually on the cover? If so, tripzone.





Nice bunch of questions and requests on a Friday afternoon. Thanks in advance!
 
He gets props on the vintage Gucci frames and Polo Indian Head denim jacket though. Real headz know...





That RZA autograph on the label of the Wendy Rene 45 still has me giggling though. It's like an Analog Africa stamp on an LP cover AND Prince smashing someone else's guitar all in one!
 
adrian's store is in the little tokyo/arts district downtown los angeles.

Best part.





Unless I'm misunderstanding him, so that Belmondo film was the one that put the fire to RZA's feet to sample? I could think of much better Morricone soundtracks to be inspired by.
 
I like records as much as everybody else but most collectors doesn't have much interesting to say IMO.





It's well done but boring.

Why didn't they show the shelves and records instead of having her talk about them?
