This Beat Bop Record Box includes officially
licensed artwork from Jean-Michel Basquiat
on a premium record carrying case. Only
1,000 of the record carrying cases exist and
will never be produced again.
Holding up to 50 records, this ultra-sturdy LP-sized record case, with an interior tiled with
Basquiat�s famous crown logo, is a true and literal work of art, covered in classic images from the
original Tartown Records version of the 1983 classic hip-hop track �Beat Bop".
The original vinyl issue of �Beat Bop� by Rammellzee and K-Rob � which is the inspiration for the
Box � has been heard by many, but held by few. Only a reputed 500 of the song�s initial run, on
Jean-Michel Basquiat�s one-off Tartown Records label, were made with jacket cover art by the
infinitely influential graphic artist (and moonlighting musician and producer). They remain one of
hip-hop�s �Holy Grail� items, selling north of $1,500 if you can even find one. The audio, which
clocked in at over 10 minutes, was issued � with no picture sleeve � on Profile Records soon after
the Tartown pressings, and went on to influence countless MCs, with its minimal, languishing funk
beat (produced by Basquiat) and Rammellzee�s and K-Rob�s next-level lyricism.
Jean-Michel Basquiat passed away in 1988 and Rammellzee left this Earth in 2010. With this
Record Box, Get On Down celebrates and remembers Basquiat�s important contributions to the
formative years of hip-hop, visually and on wax. And besides being a �trophy piece,� the Box is a
vision of utilitarianism, which will keep your most previous wax safe for years to come.This Beat Bop Record Box includes officially
