AMOEBA MUSIC SAN FRANCISCO'S HIP-HOP BUYER LUIS CHECKS IN
As hip-hop buyer for Amoeba Music in San Francisco Luis (who  spins at parties under the name DJ el-S) is always on the go and always listening to new hip-hop music. Throughout a typical hectic day at the Haight Street store,  he deals directly with artists,  orders from distributors, and even finds time to price the  San Francisco Amoeba's extensive used vinyl hip-hop section.

Consequently Luis knows his hip-hop music: inside and out. So I was real happy to catch up with him recently to hear his views on music, his personal favorites, a good place to grab a bite near Amoeba, and find out what the Top Five Sellers at Amoeba Music San Francisco were this past week?
