LA Stereo TV interviews Fat Beats owner and founder Joe Abajian to talk about how and why he started the business in July of 1994. Joe talks about how as a business student he first conceived of the idea for Fat Beats and how the store ultimately became known as a premier independent retailer.
Everything is the same in hip-hop, just like it is in business.
I was always like whatever I got for free I gave out for free.
Good old FatBeats!
i will miss you.
respect to Joe for starting fat beats and all they’ve done for hip-hop. they play a big role in our business (sales, video content, etc), and i’ll always appreciate them for that. while they’re obviously still in biz and have a strong enough web presence, i hope in some way that they bounce back, and at least secure some physical presence in other retail locations.
