RIP Fat Beats stores

It was announced today that underground hip hop mainstay Fat Beats will be closing its two retail stores in NYC and LA. The online store and distribution company are sticking around, but no longer will you be able to go to their stores and thumb through albums anymore. Damn. That's the end of an era for a lot of hip hop heads. Not only that, but they did some awesome in-store promotions, shows and other demos. Can't get that online...
