Never heard her music but she was at one of my regular record stores for a signing event
 
Finally getting into collecting records. Bought first one over the weekend and have a few coming in the mail.

Any recommendations for record players? Preferably something cheap for beginners.
 
^ What's your budget?

Cheap ones can be ok for a dorm room type set up and cheap records. But spending a few extra bucks does help, even with entry level versions.
 
Tbh I dont even know enough about record players to even base my budget off. But I was estimating around 120-150ish? If its possible to find a quality one under 150 that'll be great, but I guess I'll be willing to up the budget a bit if I have to.

Heres my small collection. Think I'm off to a good start :pimp:

^ OK, as spacedoodoo spacedoodoo mentioned, the Audiotechnica AT LP60 is a real good entry choice, or the newer AT LP60X ($139). It also has a pre-amp so you save even more money that way.

Getting a turn table with an internal preamp is definitely the way to go. ilike turtles ilike turtles I would also make sure that the tone arm can be adjusted/balanced in order to prevent too much pressure from the weight of the needle on the records

Y’all gotta look on discogs for records you can’t find locally or online at retail music stores like fatbeats, stones throw etc. On discogs, you can buy and sell records, CDs and cassettes that’s are posted on the market. People also post the different variants of pressings as well. See below:

The Fresh Prince The Fresh Prince Looks as if Liquid swords has a decent amount as well:

Bruh are you me, All Eyez On Me was my first vinyl I copped about 5 years ago, at Frys during my work break. I also have 7 albums from your list and OB4CL is next.

Currently spinning Jay-Z - The Blueprint, up next Nujabes - Modal Soul
