Fuse Record Collection
So Fuse has started a series
that I think all music lovers will appreciate. They are talking to DJs about
their music collection. What I like about it is that they are not just talking
to any DJ from around the corner and up the block they are talking to DJs that
have been in the game for a long time. Basically they recently interviewed Pete
Rock, Jazzy Jeff, Rich Medina, Dabeatminerz (Evil Dee & Mr. Walt) about
their record collections at their studios.
As a DJ I know that I do not have every record that I want at this point in time and I know that I will probably not get them.

Rich Medina says his collection
consists of 30,000 records that is located in his studio and 20,000 located in
his mother's house. His most valuable record is a signed copy of “Yellow Fever
Fela”
Jazzy Jeff tells a story
that he never had lunch because he saved all his money to buy records and how he met Will Smith. He also tells a story about going record shopping with Kenny
Dope and the late great J. Dilla.
Pete Rock started his
record collection with 45’s that he used to listen to that belonged to his
father. He has about 50,000 in his studio; about 50,000 – 60,000 in his garage
and about 40,000 records at his mother’s house.
Dabeatminerz (Evil Dee &
Mr. Walt) – They have about 3 floors of records. Evil Dee pulled out a record that a
lot of DJs will love to have "Enter Da Stage" instrumental album. Evil Dee said
there was 100 of them printed and he has 90 of them inside his basement.
I am not going to give it all away. You have to watch the videos below each mini profile to get the full impact.
