Well we lived in a basement apartment at the time, and there was even a basement to the basement where everything was at and it got flooded. And my mom took all that down there, like CD's are the new thing. So the turn table was done, and all the vinyl got wet and therefore warped. Haha, i'm not saying thats why my parents got divorced but that played a part.

My dads 72 and not senile at all, and t this day he brings that up. Like some unforgiveable shit. I'm pretty sure he's more mad about getting him to put that in the sub basement then when he found out she cheated on him.

It was that dead serious because my dads vinyl collection he started when he was a kid. And all of the sudden my mom said, CD's are the new thing fuck all that old stuff put it in the sub basement, my dad let her do it and it all got ruined. He still talks about it to this day.

Long story short is I used to own about 3,000 records about 8 years ago. I would dig for samples. So I had a ton of 60's 70's soul/funk/jazz/rock. Got to the point where they were in storage for years and I never touched them. So I sold them off. In the last year or two I started buying only shit I actually listen to. So I have buy mostly hip hop shit we grew up on and I have some funk and soul recent shit.....and newer hip hop. All that shit.
