i don't really buy any new hip-hop anymore on vinyl, aside from a few artists that drop once every 2 years...
old records, im slowing down since i got Microwave. aside from production tools and things i can flip for $crilla or really ill new discoveries..., basically meaning, nearly nothing, a month I would spend about $50-60. Before when I was in the thick of playing hip-hop in the late 90s, I was poppin about $300-400 every 2 weeks. ... oh how times have changed. I ain't into poppin' no $100 for a record no more, i see these fools still poppin like major loot for records that have been sampled to death, available on cd for listening, but still wanna have the OG for $500... times have changed for me, thats for sure...
Almost none anymore. Saving up to buy a place. Get most of my music from soulseek
Ditto
Though been getting my grown man on and finally managing to splash out on clothes in much the way that I always used to drop cash for audio/visual gubbins.
If I notice I'm spending too much, I cut myself off. Although sometimes you just have 'one of those months,' where you add it all up and just go "ouch!!"
I try to stay around $100 or so a month. I've got too many damn bills to spend more and I'm going to have more very soon. Pre-girlfriend, pre-kid, pre-home owner I could spend $600 or more a month.
$300 (which is roughly 10% of the $3000 I make monthly selling cocaine on the block )
that made me laugh...good shit.
this month i spent about $1000. I sometimes flip shit i have laying around to make up for it. in my mind i work things out like this... if somebody asked me to dj a night in exchange for a record that is say $500, i would do it no sweat. so to me it makes sense. plenty of scrilla off parties during the holidays...not as much as phil makes of the krills on the block tho. alot of fiends have records too, good way to connect.
Its sad but I spend anywhere from 40% to 65% of my monthly income on records. Having cheap rent, and no need for a car allows for this to happen. My monthly income comes from djing so I suppose its sorta warranted though
nowaydays i spent about 0 - 300$ for music in a month. my baller time is bygone, between 95-98 (time of my first job) i spended 1000$ every[/b] month, all good things must be bought double + every pseudo rap 12 inch was mine at this time, i couldn??t resist.

Like this, but "Saving up to keep a place."
Wife, Kids and Mortgage. Even Jaws had trouble swimming with 3 barrells attached.
but earlier this year I would spend maybe USD300 a month on records.

of what I buy I usually get a majority of peices to resell either in set sales or Ebay in the hopes of making my money back and breaking even.
last couple months I've been lunching so I'm defintly in the red
