    I love the stories we dj's have. I live in Phila but I grew up in Camden NJ right over the bride from Funk-O-Mart in Phila. I got most of my records there and at Sound of Market and Armand's.... Wow the good old days. I met Biz in Sound of Market. Tony Touch much respected soldier. Salute from DJ Y -Not...

    Philly update***
    The entire block where funk-o-mart was located was bought out to make what is now the fashion district. However, even before that, funk-o-mart was looooong under new management, only really selling stereos and Dj equipment. No records, sadly. Tbh I’m too young to have experienced the fabled Funk-o-mart myself. By the time I caught wind it was gone.

Every other Wednesday is purgatory. This wait'n game is killin me..............stop playing with my emotions smoke-a!!

    @TheUndergroundVault Před 11 lety

    Tony is an interesting character, and one that Hip-Hop heads would like to see his collection for. Egon was great as well, love me some Stones Throw... but the last 3~ have been people no one cares about. I understand what was shown may not be the best, but his stories, and Toca himself is an interesting character, one I'm interesting in viewing a Crate Diggers episode from. Oh, and his collection itself was pretty great.
