    In terms of sheer obscurity, I think the only person who could possibly surpass this is Madlib. Even guys like Shadow and all the big producers of the 90s haven't tapped into rare music from the unknown corners of the world like Madlib and Egon have. Quality over quantity -- literally every record he pulled out here is worth thousands.

    I love watching all these crate diggers DJ collections while I don't collect vinyl because they are hard to find in my city I do collect video games from the Atari 2600 up. So I get a kick out of watching other collectors and their collections. It makes me feel better that other people have bigger collection than my video games collection.
