Record Shopping at A1 for National Record Store Day

[@osamakheireddine9493]

If there’s one person that deserves to have this opportunity, it’s you. The amount of work you’ve put in on the work QuestLove has done has repaid itself

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you so much for the support 🙏 so grateful for this opportunity

[@everybodyshiphop]

agreed:)

[@JeffryGonzalezHt]

Zero ego, all joy. Love what you are doing here. Keep em' coming, please!

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you so much for the support over the last year 🙏

[@janoskis2725]

Hi Brandon. I've loved your videos ever since youtube randomly recommended one for me. I'm not a musician, I don't know music theory, I don't even particularly like hip-hop, but your choice of topics and your way of presenting your thoughts always gets me to watch them all the way through. You are a great presenter and a great educator (other than being a great musician, too). This must have been a huge deal for you! Also: an apt validation of what you do on this channel. I love everything about it, but my absolute favourite part is the Police Squad-like fake freeze-frames you do at the end. They always crack me up and nobody else does them :) Keep up the great work! Wishing you and yours alll the best from Hungary!

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you so much! Much love from the US 🙏

[@issacflores4216]

110% deserved. Thank you for being a historian of the music and a fantastic creator. Keep up the amazing work B, you’re the best!

[@diggingthegreats]

🙏🙏

[@SynicalBeats]

Love your videos, brother. I'm glad you finally got to meet someone you show so much love.

[@thomasnelson5758]

This is so great, love that you're getting bigger and bigger and increased visibility with some of the all time greats. Your videos always show the immense knowledge and love you have for the genre. Can't wait to see you hit more milestones, 250K, 500K, 1M and beyond. Also, dying laughing at the Taye Diggs bit 😂

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you so much for the support 🙏

[@alch3mi5t.]

💯 Thomas.

[@iHONEYLOVERFRIEND]

Cheers to 1M I see that and love that for this channel such a gift to my childhood and inner music geek 👏🏾

[@brucetobin1218]

I feel like all your videos stem from a fascination with the power of music, and I am so here for it. Whether it's your understanding of complex theoretical ideas boiled down and explained in a way that is intelligible to all, or a contextualization of music I thought I knew back to front already, I get so much from each video and can't wait for more.

[@Techplayerlive]

This is so pure. Your dedication and passion is honestly inspiring

[@-Osiris-]

Yooooo from doing videos on the guy to actually meeting him, you love to see it happen. By the way really enjoyed this kind of content, more laid back, and liked getting to know a bit more about your backstory too, keep it up

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@ByDobson]

you're an inspiration man, honestly. Best content on KZbin and you honestly seem like such a down to earth guy

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you so much for the support over the last year 🙏

[@BU91RN]

I've fallen in love with your videos. Hip hop has such a rich back story and you tell it so well. My favourite so far has to be the Tribe called quest "sargent pepper" video. Please keep it up! Oh, and id love to see some more about KRS One and maybe some MF DOOM? P.S much love for meeting QuestLove!

[@extraniceness]

Really great to meet you man and thanks for creating such a cool vid shouting out A-1 aka Questlove’s favorite record store in NYC! 🗽

[@ezragomez6596]

DUDE i’ve been following your page for about a year now and I absolutely love it, I know how much this means to you and I’m so so so glad this happened for you. literally jumped for joy when i saw the video title

[@Ethandroid_]

As a producer that produces mostly trap, I still think other genres and the people that were part them have had a massive impact on my music. Wow that was a lot.

[@ravyyyyyyy]

I can't even begin to imagine the joy you must've felt talking about records with Questlove! You put so much work and passion into your videos and they're extremely enjoyable to watch, even for people like me with no musical background apart from simply enjoying the art. I hope you get to meet a few more of your heroes and keep up the amazing work, you've taught me so much about my favourite artists and introduced me to ones I've never really paid much attention to simply due to lack of hearing most of their work, and sparked an interest in jazz for which I thank you so much. I haven't been in my local record store in a couple years so I think this calls for a visit next pay day! Thanks again and all the best to you from Ireland!

[@deebefree]

The content is always solid, captivating. Delivery is excellent. Dope that sponsors are in alignment with the vibe too. You deserve all the success brother 🙏🏼

[@zekedeblaay4211]

lol the frowny face next to kanye’s name at 6:21 was pretty funny

[@samoram6920]

Love, love, love, love, love this vid! Thanks for the introducing to you and sharing this incredible story

[@everybodyshiphop]

Another great video! It was nice hearing more about you and your story. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

[@tobbetobster9930]

What an awesome experience! Glad you shared it with us:)

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you for the support! Wish I could have shared even more 😂

[@badbelly]

Quality channel, it's as simple as that

[@existenceness]

What a great experience! Your videos are top-notch excellent. Like every one is a perfectly produced and performed record. Chef’s kiss. Thanks for all the work you put in!

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank YOU so much for all the support over the last year 🙏

[@TerryBorderline]

You deserve it all fam! Its good to see you're just a regular supporter of good music too, watching you genuinely appreciate it from both sides is dope!

[@DJ_InYourFace]

I was just at A-1 while visiting NYC -- also a great selection of house music, like early acid and Chicago stuff.

[@KEENANALLENASMRGLASS]

You deserve this. Your music breakdowns are next level.

[@CantTellYou]

Going back through all your old videos... this one is sweet. I used to work for the guy who started "Record Store Day", glad to see it still pays off big!

[@theexistentialtigers]

I used to live in NYC and one day I scored Malib’s Shades of Blue, the Shining by Dilla, Game Theory from the Roots and this early Reflection Eternal single at A1 records. It was a hell of a day!

[@diggingthegreats]

All in one day? 🔥

[@proudfoot.proudfoot]

That place is incredible. One of fav digging experiences. Is it still open?

[@futureghost77]

Dude you’ve got one of the illest channels on YT. So glad it exists. Keep it up brother.

[@MrMoneyfingers]

Found your channel a few weeks ago and have been loving it ever since. Never really got into hiphop before (typically a rock/metal guy) but your videos have really helped me understand and appreciate that type of music. Keep up the great work!

[@diggingthegreats]

Thank you 🙏

[@user-wo7dl6tb2q]

yO B! You passed on that CAMEO record! Can’t sleep on them!! I was lucky enough to live on 7th St around the corner from A1 & became friends with the owner & all the staff & shopped there daily for years when I lived in NYC! Hope Jeremy is still there 🙌🏽 great video & lookin forward to more!

[@diggingthegreats]

Cameo is 🔥🔥🔥

[@davidoreilly7328]

No one deserves it more. I knew very little about hip hop, let alone know about the Roots, the Soulquarians, Questlove etc. so I learned so much about all those guys from you. You my man are a true historian of music and I, and everyone subscribed to you, thank you for all your hard work

[@soundshape6496]

Get into the Soulquarians! Dilla, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Quest, James Poyser. There’s an old VIBE issue about the Soulquarians. You can find the article online and there’s videos about them on YT.

[@DAndre-jp9tf]

This makes me miss the Saturday AM runs to the likes of Rock N' Soul, TOWER, Discorama, Fat Beats & others in NYC. The experience can truly be taken for granted - when it's so accessible that you don't even consider at that time that it will all transition over time, leaving us with timeless memories and stories to tell, via personal experiences and through the vinyl consumed in such a dope era in music!

[@marleycarroll]

You have such a great style and presence!

[@niklasbern937]

And thanks to you for this channel that always makes me so in the mood for listening/playing. Would love a deep dive on the bass in Common - Be (intro) and why it's so stankin' good

[@diggingthegreats]

That’s absolutely on the list 🔥

[@jadasheekstyles2000]

I just saw seal on what's in my bag? Now this, and I've got to say that I'm inspired to collect physical media again, be it music, films, books, etc.

[@esTena19]

Bro, thanks you for your videos. You help me feel music and all the culture surrounding it in whole different way. Keep it going if that's what your creativity asks from you. And thanks again for sharing your experience!

[@HonorFlowProductions]

Man that is super dope! It was only right you got to shop for records with ?uesto because you both are music nerds and liner note junkies. You picked up a gang of gems. But one that caught my eye in the video was the instrumental version of Common's Be. I did NOT know that existed!!! Excellent work on the videos. I never miss them.

[@chewdiggy]

Holy shhhhhh! Well deserved brother!

[@no_yelling_on_the_bus7294]

[@247Lang]

This was an awesome opportunity. It's a bit of a pity that Quest didn't wanna appear in the video, but either way, documenting the experience was great. Your growth in a year has been phenomenal, and I see you attracting more and more subscribers into the hundreds of thousands and beyond.
