“When I became a part of the music scene, I knew that I wanted to be someone who was a part of that culture,” El-P said of the honour. “Because places like Fat Beats Records in New York City were cornerstones of the community – and that’s what we appreciate about the record stores. You’re not just some place to press a button to get a song.” Killer Mike praised independent stores that let him “buy records that Tipper Gore wanted to ban,” when he was younger.
