    I’d say close to $1000. I used to buy a lot of hip hop books, vinyl albums, other ? . My album buying has dwindled significantly since around 2012.

    Just went through my collection. 10 years.....73 albums, most at $9.99, a few a little more. So easily about a grand not counting the shows I went to.

    A thousand or more

    2007-2010. We still had 2 record stores open in my town at this point. Alot of their tapes were on clearance. I would go in every week and spend at least $15-20 on sale priced vinyl and tapes religiously. This is when i was most active in the thrift circuit also. Before goodwill amd other thrifts rose prices on records and electronics

    Around 2010 the record store closed and i was forced to buy overpriced vinyl from a bookstore. I bought whatever new hip hop releases they had at time (lupe,wiz,nicki vinyl). I did that for a year and stopped buying music completely. Now If i see something rare or interesting i might grab it. Im mostly in to buying cassettes now whenever i spot them.

    I spent over $500 in last 10 years on replacement needles and parts for my turntables. I picked up a digital mixer in 2013 for $300 also

    My live entertainment expenses technically could be factored in too. 2008-2010 i literally went to club 2-3 times a week where artists and dj would perform

    There aren't many local stores that are independently owned CD shops, I know of vinyl ones though in Providence. Where are you at on the east coast?

    The last time I tried to buy a cd from an artist I generally enjoyed I had a really bad experience, (it was a woman) I went to shake her hand and she acted weird, then her DJ copied my hand-shake really slowly smiling. It was etherous IC. If it wasn't at my job I would've said something. Didn't even listen once or take it out of the packaging, I literally threw it in the trash. I wasn't trying to say suck my ? to her yet, be nice to the people supporting you.
    A lot of ? isn't even worth $3.

    I feel like no one wants to listen to a whole CD anymore anyway.

    After reading this thread, I realized this is the time to buy used CDs. You can go to a thrift store or a used record store and cop CDs for $2.

    You might ask, 'why pay $2 for a CD when you can download it for free?'

    Well CDs have better sound quality than mp3s. You can hear the difference.

    I went through a phase when I was buying albums from Amazon. I've probably spent $100 on Hip Hop CDs in the past 10 years.

    But I also collect vinyl. I've probably spent over $500 on Hip Hop vinyl since 2007.

    Thats a total of $600 on Hip Hop music over the past 10 years.

    When I was younger, before the internet, I would spend about $100 per year on Hip Hop albums.

    If we include tickets to shows about 4 bills...
