Hopefully u dont find this boring and i will shorten it as much as i can.This is my FUN DMC purchase story.
Its Sep.30th and ive been waiting for this day for awhile.So i wake up extra early and walk to my homies house which is like 3 miles from my house.I get there and we just work on some sh!t for our CD and we just listen to alot of PUTS.
Then i leave to my girls house and i tell her that we should go eat at PANDA EXPRESS on PCH and HAWTHORNE,which is by BEST BUY.So we go and im just in a rush to go to best buy to go get my copy of the FUN.
I get to Best Buy and me and my girl go straight to the Rap? section.I look under PUTS and only see THE OM YEARS.I look at the New Release section and I dont see it and now im really mad at this time.I ask some dude if they have the CD and he checks the same area as me and cant find it.So he goes to the back and still cant find it.So he calls some otha dude and he does the same exact SH**.So now im really mad and my girl is just tryna cheer me up now (lol).Then this dude goes to the back and finds a big stack of CDs and hands me one.
Now im really happy and then I ask him why arent they out in the NEW REALESE SECTION and he has no explanation.So i tell the dude thankz and recommend the CD for the dude after showing him the quote from Vapors Magazine...."ONE OF THE BEST HIP HOP ALBUMS IN 2008"
Thats my FUN DMC STORY.Hopefully u like it.LOVE THE CD!!

The CD was in the new releases section and they had two left.
Got them both and when I was leaving the guy behind the counter stacked another 7+ on the shelf.
I also got a free treat, A FUN DMC beverage container! -

Same thing happened to me at the Best Buy on PCH in torrance. I took my baby son in there so he could buy dad's Cd and all i saw was Om Years. I was heated so i pulled a kid over and sweated him. He was like dude I don't know. I said "WHERE"S MY CD MAN" and he went back and found a stack of 7 sitting in the back of the warehouse. It's like they aren't even trying to sell it. Anyways, my little fatboy got a chance to buy dads CD after all. BEST BUY made me WORK for it! -

I mean its my friend's b-day and i told him that i'd buy him FUN DMC for him. We roll to one Best Buy like 5 minutes from my crib, and they were sold out. Then we jet out to one like 20 minutes from the other one.
When we get the Best Buy associates are like would be in new releases, all i see is T.I.'s Paper Trail. Me and my friend are like WTF..... So I flag down one of the warehourse workers. He says hold on, then.............. He comes back with one FUN DMC. I asked him if he had another one and he says bro thats the last one. I'm shockedd!!! Its two of us, but its my friend's b-day, So he gets the album w/ the comic booket and raw essence. I had to get a $15 iTunes card and buy the album lol. What a day. But after all that it was pretty awesome day -

all good though, ended up copping from amazon and using the free trial for premium shipping. just need to remember to cancel it now... -

I also tried copin' it monday at Dusty Groove Records. They said that I would be able to purchase it that day so I got excited as hell. Long story short drove an hour in traffic to no avail. Apperently the lable wouldn't allow them to do so. Didn't get mad just kind of sucked. Picked it up yestarday and picked up DOUBLES
PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS 6TH ALBUM RELEASED AND PHISH OFFICALY ANNOUNCES THEIR BACK. I LOVE SEPTEMBER 30TH -

Then I asked if they were going to have them in stock on Tuesday and he said No straight away - why couldn't they have told me this in the first place?!?!
I ended up down Virgin Megastore at Disneyland at midnight waiting for a copy. Now the P can officially say they're down with Disney
I was going upstairs in the store to use the lav when I bumped into my gf who was there waiting for them to sell it to her, she doesn't even like hip-hop and was buying it for me as a surprise how cool is that?! So we went back to mine and I made her sit with me out the back of the house listening to it, she said she was cold so I gave her my Fun DMC hoodie to wear! haha! Best thing for it at the time I thought...
Lovely stuff by the way Thes, it's proper ill mate. -

I actually crashed my works van as i was nodding my head and focusing my eyes at the CD deck in the ride like a man possessed at the sonic masterpiece that is Anotha ( BBQ ) . I was not looking where i was going ( As you do ) and mounted the kerb and straight into a bin , if this wasnt bad enough i spilt my bottle of lucozade original all over my crotch area which seept through and made my you know what sticky and f***ed up my chances of a BJ of the missus on arrival at homebase
The dent to the van didnt take away what was a momentous day in the life of fan of the P . I love this album .......dearly already . Having been captivated since the very begining up until this latest offering i can only say hand on heart that it just keeps getting better and better . I remember seeing the lads live in Melbourne in 2000 and it being special , then catching them in Manchester in 2006 and it being even better again . Double K and Thes i salute you . Absolutely flawless -

I ordered Fun DMC from Amazon on the 30th...
So I thought I'd be cunning and avoid this "credit crunch" bizness by getting it from the market place thing cheaper.
I ordered Kingspade 'ptb' and their live dvd from the same seller so thought I might as well get Fun from there too.
Only trouble is its gotta come from America and the delivery estimate is like 3rd Oct to the 17th Oct
thats far too long, so I'm gonna be rinising the OM years in my car until I take delivery!
Amazon said it could take up to 8 weeks or something stupid to get Fun delivered from themselves so its the lesser of 2 evils really.
So in conclusion this credit crunch now offically sucks lol.
But on the plus side I should have a nice oz of home grown by the time I get Fun and that's gotta be worth the wait...

goin to bb to buy the p is like goin to beach to find nemo--u have a better chance at finding waldo. i used to have adventures like that back in the day--like tryin to find the next step. i cant even remember where i got it--prolly ended up havin to order it--even in metro areas hip hop just aint hip hop to most folk, so im not suprised fans have hard times findin tha p--f*ck, jayz is at walmart lol remember back in the day dept stores didnt carry "explicit" music?
crazy...and for those who arent in metro areas? its tuff livin in a small town and findin hip hop. 99% of their collections is country or rock. and when u go to spots that classify hip hop as "r &b" u know ur in TROUBLE!! lol u hit up a spot and all they have is like one lil row of n@#$#$ music <- cuz thats what they think of it. i f**king walk out of spots like that.
anyway, i have a hate for bb, and id like to burn the place down. u ever c harold n kumar? on that anthony anderson sh!t. for real....

I went to one today and I asked the little emo kid workiing "Ya'll got the new FUN DMC People under the Stairs album?"and he looked at me with this strange facial expression and said "Never heard of them". I said Excuse ME!?, he went and looked it up and it showed none in the whole district of where I live. I was about to raise all hell with those Jive Turkeys! -
