Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle: After Licensed To Ill, the Beastie Boys split from Def Jam in a bitter money and control fight, moved to Los Angeles, and had to rebuild while critics dismissed them as a frat-rap joke.
-
Studio Lore: The Dust Brothers packed the album with a wild amount of samples, from funk and soul to rock scraps and movie dialogue, before sample clearance became the legal minefield it is now.
-
Media Narrative: Paul's Boutique flopped at first, then became the classic “they were actually geniuses” record, turning the Beasties from novelty brats into crate-digging hip hop lifers.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
