The Vinyl Ark !!

[EminemBiggestFan11]

do you have any Eminem vinyls?

[illson72]

nobody never show what they buy out of this place...

[squezey1]

@illson72 From the lack of videos about this place I would say that not many people even know about this place.

[illson72]

@squezey1 yes,there are alot of vids for this place The Thing in Brookyn NY

[SLIMSLO1]

Quality over quantity any fuckin' day!

[kireal]

dopeness



[darkturbulence]

@kireal the beat from 1:10 to 3:25 is something we made in the studio

[teunzeist]

I'm in love

[MrSmokinBeats]

What record store is this? Is it still open and are the records still there?

Any info would be appreciated

[tokyo1crates]

@MrSmokinBeats

THE THING - BROOKLYN NYC, dug out for the most part over the past decade and a half! it's a thrift shop

[chupathingy99]

Those albums must be warped to shit.

[darkturbulence]

i actually found some mint condition records in there.. but yeah a bunch are wasted to hell but then again hell is a hot place and so are some of these records ; )

[brix42]

I GOTTA be there, ....

[WatchBlueSkies]

great store there

[Knugabug]

You shoulda seen the 99 cent cut out bins in NYC in '79....tens of thousands of albums, being a record collector in 2010 is kinda hilarious compared to 30 years ago. I don't have to look after buying back then. eBay completed has pretty much destroyed any bargains anymore, it is over.

[owlwink]

hey! skullsnaps in your first beat yo.

would love to visit that store

[REALHIPH0PHEAD]

Damn wtf, my local record store hasn't got half that much records..

[berke123mdave]

cool

[tableturns77]

I went to this place and spend 2 hours there and i didnt even move 15 feet thats how much shit they got. cant wait to go back there

[babyoil1]

place seems dope to visit. anybody know if the crates are atleast categorized in their genres?

[vinylelvis1]

Video shows the insanity of no labels or sections.Whats the use if u cant find anything lol! The amount of records is huge! I can just imagine the gold u can find there! Thanks for showing us!

[HunterMann]

[frankiebones01]

That sh*t ain't in order. If you don't know how to crate dig, you are f*cked!

[monsen86]

[b2d327]

it's nice to know places like this still exist. Much luv to all the crate diggers. BX represent. 40 crates deep and growing

[isaachaaze3]

Yo I been to this place and I gotta say it's outta control...records like you would'nt believe...upstairs has alot of records but when you go downstairs their must be like at least 10,000 records...just bring your diggin gloves and don't wear white cause you gonna get dirty, but it's a diggers dream.

[dumplinboyz]

the beat is hot

[Knugabug]

I just love records. I drive once a month to L.A. just to buy records for straight days. I never get a speeding ticket cause cops like records too.

[1987ian]

[kcutz]

werd. thats ill. im at 40,000 (peep the profile vid) cant get enough of that shit.

[blues676]

good god thats a lot of vynal

[Frozensquirrel]

That's beautiful... Like heaven...

Nice music, too!

[thetruerock]

the covers all look damaged and keeping records in crates is retarded

[SouthOx]

Do any of you actually have dreams about finding records? I have had a few dreams where I have come across record stashes. For some reason it always takes place outside while I'm walking somewhere. One dream I found a gang of shopping carts full of records in the middle of the street with birds and shit flying around like they were carcasses lol. And another dream I was walking through the neiborhood sneaking into garages looking and finding records lol

[noizekid]

i once had a dream that i had sex with a girl and then stole her daddy vinyl from her house then split.

the vinyl was better than the sex.

[SouthOx]

lol

[theefishlippedone]

quite often i'll dream that i am digging and find not 1 but 10 of the records i really NEED!all for peanuts!!i guess i better get out and dig more often:)

[aldiakaroofus]

Yeah, I hate those dreams. I dream I'm finding the score of my life, then I wake up, pissed off that it wasn't real!! >:(

[neddyfresh]

DAMN! Nice little find!

There's a place like that down an alley in Nottingham (uk) with literally walls and walls of stacked crates. If you saw a record at the back it would take you literally about 3 days to get to it!

[spermbank1]

man this place looks like heaven!

I wanna dig!!

[solidrecording2012]

looks like garbage ,wet and unwanted

[easterbunnyking]

holy shit i never seen this much vinyl in my life

[Sikke303]

I bet that 99% of those records SUX ! :)

[onsargeld]

Yeah i bet they are all rap and Hip-hop!

[rokkofb]

You are wrong. U lose.

[onsargeld]

why because i hate rap with all my heart, or because there isnt any rap?

[rokkofb]

Because there's much more than rap in there.

[mpc4000xl]

onePOTAR

[rollershoer4life]

Dude have you ever seen the basement from Scratch that DJ shadows is in! Its ten times as crazy as this.

[DizzyFC]

Yeah, it's pretty big... but it really aint shit compared to my spot.

[rollershoer4life]

There kind of in the same bracket. Id say his spot is definitly comparible to yours.

[ispliti]

its called "the thing" in brooklyn. i stumpled upon it on my visit but i was broke. 2 dollars for any record.

[Eternal56]

can someone message me the address to this store. please!!!!!!!!!!

[JamieBarnes11]

1001 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222

[julianfairbanks]

really??

[noequalrecords]

hey really feeling the beats i like what you doing a lot...wheres this place at though??? up in nyc by any chance im here for the summer??? if you could send me a message id appreciate it a lot thanks in advance and keep making that fire

[BeatsBacharach]

you should see the back of Aomeba records in Frisco

[Uprightest]

Thanks mpc4000xl Nice vid!!! Did u do the music in the vid?

[djpriority]

I definitely co-sign this spot but, the last time I was there you couldnt even walk down some of the walkways. lol. Ya diggers need to pick up after yourselves!!

[souliva]

Nice spot. What were some of the gemz you found in there if you don't mind me asking?

[dergillz]

so this is where records go when they die

[jmateo073]

lets hear what u can do wit the breaks if u down wot the cats that made the video with the beats n them.. you should just tell peeps where the spots is at.. cuz them beats is crazy soft..

[evluvx]

Not down with the folks! Just know the spot and you don't. Thats why yoou keep comin back to see what you missin.See you there..oh nevermind!

[evluvx]

all y'all that doubt this place is for real. And like the beatnuts "there's a whole lot of spots I'm not puttin you on to"

[jmateo073]

them beats is wak.. u would think cats that dig like that would be droppin that fire.. they should give it up and let me rock that spot over there.. isnt that the salvation army?? bird ass niggaz.. i hope they aint trying to rep new york with that wak shit..

[c0mplexphoneticistz]

Thats salvation army shop.. i might be wrong but my boy knows the spot so i'll ask him then re post along with address so peeps can hit it up

[aldiakaroofus]

Sure, it's a lot of records, but at $2.00 each, I wouldn't waste my time checking them out. I'm sure the entire lot has been purged of any valuable records (no mint Beatles or Elvis in there I'll betcha), and even if I'd find a few I kinda like, they would never be worth $2.00 each. In garage sales, average price is $0.50. Unless the seller offers a discount for large quantities, then it's a whole new ballgame...

Nice video!

[MrsRoadRunner2000]

Wow and I thought our one hallways full of vinyl was a lot!!

I agree years of organizing needs to be done there! Oh but some of those are so warped :0(

[c0mplexphoneticistz]

Thats dope, yo please please hook me up with the address of that place

[melissaholden]

thats years of digging right there. your a lucky guy

[ezekel2006]

yeaaaaaaaaa more more mannnnnnnnnnn post more luv videos like this
