I know longer want to be deemed as a so called "Crate Digger". I shall be known today as a "Vinyl Historian" It sounds more professional :lol:

The historian says:

"I say my good man would you happend to know in which direction the break beats can be found? I am trying to further enhance the boom-bapness of my production. Could you be a kind young lad and assist me in my search. I would be ever so greatful"




the crate digger says:


"Yo nukka where the breaks at? "

its the same person, so if no one responds to his thread, he just logs in under the other account name and posts something witty, and that makes it seem like the person is very interested in the topic. that way, you never have a dull thread, and you get like at least 3 pages per topic.

esgrooge and postal.

but no, i respect the fact that your willing to change, move up to a higher level.

lotta people wouldnt respect the fact that vinyl historian isnt ghetto enough, or aint hip hop. but hip hop is sophisticated, no doubt. one of the best in the game's name is Doctor, so yuh know, high class.

but i think 'crate digger' and 'vinyl historian' are 2 different things. anyone can go and dig through crates and search for breaks, but it doesnt mean they know anything about vinyl or records. i'd have to say that its a step above a crate digger.

beleive me theres more then just diggin int he crates to being a crate digger, you need to know how to clean your records right , know what to use know how to fix scratches,warps and kill mold...i aint ghetto so when i go to a record shop i dont get looked at like i'm someone thats going in there to rob records...thats kids that are getting in to this ...it's alife style to be a real crate digger and not have to flaunt it,i dont walk in to a staore and say where's the crates so i can digg,your just going to get tagged then.

i carry the name cause thats what i do dig in crates,your garage,your house where ever....a historian is much to clean for that. so i do the dirty work A KNOWLEDGABLE CRATE DIGGER
