New York, New York - Day 6

Yeah! Yeah!... finally had 8 hours sleep!.. So ive been hearing about this place called Greenpoint in Brooklyn that sells used records. The legend of this place came to light via a utube video recently... so i set out on my mission!...


This is basically a giant Op shop.... like a salvation army store x 10!... with a basement of records that u literally could not comprehend untill u see it!...


There was about 4 rows of records like this.... no order whatsover, there were Nancy Sinatra records next to M.O.P joints, next to Led Zeppelin disc with a few reggae classics scattered accross!


Oh... and on top of that, everything in there was $2 a pop... yes my Uk people, that is 1 pound per record (sorry... this yankee keyboard doesnt have a pound sign!)


I managed to pick up some real classics... a Main ingredient record ive been looking for for ages, a copy of Rah Diggas first album, The Heavy D "Black Coffee" joint, Chubb Rocks "Ya bad chubbs"... and a whole load of 90s RnB.... a good 3 hours well spent!


So it was off home for dinner.... to keep it in the classic vein, i figured why not snack on some classic american grub... it gets no better. Time to hit the club!...


Ronin stayed in so i ventured alone down to the world famous "Freedom Party" in downtown manhatten, this place is like a religion to me when im in NYC. Looking at this pic, u would estimate 4-500 people right??.. so u would probably expect that in a city club of that proportion you would be hearing soulja boy and cassie right??.... wrong!... at this particular moment, the DJ had just cut Nice and Smooths "Hip Hop Junkies" in to Brand Nubians "Slow Down".... wow.... how can u not love it??.... i hate London right now!!!


London was out in full effect, The one and only Ms Audrey Lartey came out to party and enjoy the vibe!... im so jealous that this one has another week to stay out here!!!... so i took the 2 train journey back home to Brooklyn on my own and fell asleep for most of it....


And i arrived home to find this lazy ass on the phone and not having done any of the work that he alledgedly stayed in for!.... Tommorow watch this space for pics of the Crooklyn Dodgers reunion in prospect park!..... yeah baby!!!! PEACE!!
