'Last Stop for Hip-Hop' store Fat Beats to shutter due to poor vinyl sales
Hip-hop fans with an affinity for wax are mourning the end of an era - the closing of Fat Beats record stores.
The intimate West Village shop, one of the last in the city that specializes in selling hip-hop vinyl, is closing its doors, the company announced Wednesday.
"The business is down. The rent is up," said store manager Eric (DJ Eclipse) Winn, 40. "We've slowly lost all of the retail end of the company. ... Between the Internet and Serato [a digital DJ program] that's what hurt the vinyl sales."

Two mixtapes worth the listen


I can defintely appreciate the skills of other DJ's. I love to hear a quality mixtape. It doesn't have to be perfect technically, but rather; have the perfect combination of cuts, scratches and music selection. DJ Just Dizle does that very well with Ladies First Volume 1, hosted y Jazzy Joyce and Ladies First Volume 2, hosted by MC Lyte. This two volume mixtape takes you on a journey through the classic years of Hip Hop from the perspective of the ladies that rock the mic. I recently listened to both volumes on a long car trip and was totally satisfied. If you've love Hip Hop for a long time, these mixes will remind you of some of the ladies that strengthened that love. Shouts out to DJ Just Dizle a.k.a Le Champion.
