GZA Goes Record Shopping in Philadelphia: Analog Migration

The Wu Tang Clan legend stopped by Philly's Profond Music N Art to snag some choice vinyl while in town for The FADER and Goose Island's Analog Migration show. In December, hip-hop legend GZA headlined The FADER and Goose Island's Analog Migration show in Philadelphia. During GZA's stay, he stopped by Philly's Profond Music N Art to dig deep into the store's soul, R&B, and classic hip-hop collection. Watching him sort through the vinyl of his youth (he says he hadn't bought a record since 1976 before now), like Al Green, Bill Withers, and Smokey Robinson, while talking about Biggie and Nas and the golden age of hip-hop is a thrill. Check out the video above to see the choice LPs that GZA snagged, including a strange Wu Tang Clan versus The Beatles mashup record. http://www.thefader.com/2016/01/29/watch-gza-buy-records-for-the-first-time-since-1976 Subscribe now for more The FADER  http://bit.ly/XPZVfG Read the FADER: http://www.thefader.com Follow the FADER on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thefader Like the FADER on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/11JaNSJ Follow the FADER on Tumblr: http://bit.ly/xerObW
