And then you add 19 years and Jimmy Fallon money… imagine how many records he has now.

Questlove is a real collector "Alphabetical is a nightmare", I agree. I do all that stuff, soul from 60's to 00's, going crazy for samples, jazz at the bottom, and I like the idea of hip hop 12". I go only for albums now but back in the day you could get those 12" inches cheap.

That 1 second flash of, what I now know to be Bobby Caldwell, sent me down an infinite rabbit hole. Thank you Quest.

I have my CD's categorize by how many albums I collect by a artist, then I separate them by genre like hip hop r/b jazz soul so on and so forth 💯💯

What wonderful family and friends!.

I’ve had ‘Are You Looking’, ’Congress Alley’ and ‘Time is Yours’ on repeat for the last week now. I will not rest till I have a vinyl copy, especially after watching this.

[lamontricks]

I love this I love to see artists record collection

[BAGAKOOS]

Wonder what his record room looks like now? I remember him saying that he would buy other musicians collections, such that when a musician would die, their family would sell off their record collection, among other things. And someone like quest love would buy the whole lot!

[joelpilotte]

Would to spend a day (or week) in this room.
