TURNTABLE LAB

Hip-hop was born in the
South and West Bronx in the
mid 1970s. One story about
how it got its name was that
Keef ‘Cowboy’ Wiggins of
Grandmaster Flash and the
Furious Five teased a friend
joining the army with a ‘hip
hop hip hop’ beat to imitate
a marching step. Turntable
Lab in the East Village has
a rare stock of hip-hop vinyl.

MOMA SHOP

Of all the artists whose

work might be

appropriated

for a museum gift shop,

Andy Warhol would

arguably have the least

cause to complain.

This skateboard is

inspired by his game-

changing painting series,

32 Campbell’s

Soup Cans.
