Kanye West Facing More Legal Troubles

As mentioned in today's Shannon's Scoop, Kanye West facing more legal troubles.

Kanye West is facing a serious legal battle. A former female assistant, Lauren Pisciotta, has filed a lawsuit against him, alleging breach of contract, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and the creation of a hostile work environment. According to her claims, Kanye engaged in inappropriate behavior, including pleasuring himself during their calls and asking her to guess his actions. He was reportedly obsessed with discussing the size and sexual habits of the men she dated and sent her sexually explicit texts and videos of himself with other women.

TMZ has provided examples of these texts that Kanye allegedly sent this ex-assistant. Frankly, they are very explicit. Kanye has previously admitted to struggles with sexual and porn addictions, which he cited as factors contributing to his marriage's downfall. He has also expressed interest in starting his own porn company. If the text messages presented in the lawsuit are authentic, Kanye could be in significant legal trouble.

Detroit is known for its love of music—we are Motown, after all! Maybe you're feeling nostalgic and want to visit some vinyl record stores. Or perhaps you are in town for the NFL Draft and want to check out the record shop scene. Either way, we're hooking you up with some of the best record stores to visit in Metro Detroit. But first, let's talk about how fantastic vinyl records are.

Technology has undoubtedly changed how we consume music over the years. It may be easier to access now, but this fact remains: There is nothing like the sound of a vinyl record—and I mean nothing.

Picture this: You drop the needle on the record and hear that tick-like sound while you anxiously wait for the music to surprise you. Then, that needle hits the line, and bam! It's time to jam. The sound from a vinyl record is unique and nostalgic.

What's the best way to find a vinyl record, you may ask? Now, you can buy a newly pressed vinyl record that's never been played and wrapped in nice plastic. But that is not the fun part in finding the perfect vinyl record. I love a good record hunt and have a huge collection myself.

So, here are a few tips from my personal experience. First, give yourself plenty of time to explore the vinyl record stores. Second, go in without any expectations and let the records surprise you. Third, pull up a crate, have a seat, and get to digging! My favorite part is being surprised to see songs or artists I have forgotten about.

Now that you know why they are great and how to find a record, let's talk about a few of the best vinyl record stores in Metro Detroit so you can get to digging!

There are many excellent vinyl record stores around Metro Detroit, so you can't go wrong. But I chose five great ones in the city or easily accessible outside of Detroit.  Check out the list of places to visit below. Happy hunting!

Peoples Records in Detroit is one of my favorite places to hunt for a suitable vinyl. It is a no-frills shop where you can pull up a crate and have a seat. There are lots of secondhand vintage vinyls, too. They also have a turntable to test the records before buying them. You can give it a spin by visiting them Downtown, just outside Eastern Market, at 1464 Gratiot Ave, Detroit, MI 48207. Their hours are Monday-Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm & Sunday's 10 am-4 pm.
