Anyone remember when the little Asian ladies would pull up in the barber shop talking about "ceedee ceedee ceedee" and then they would go in that other compartment in their shoulder bag and show you the porn DVDs.

Porn was our number #1 sellers when we got to the burnt DVD era. I never knew so many muhfukkas was freaks like that. The wilder the flick was the more it sold. It was some crazy shyt boy.

I remember making like 200 dollars in a hour in college selling The Game's first album. The album leaked before the official release. I was outside of record stores in malls with my boy and flea markets with CD's stocked up in a shopping bag. We had an iPod so we could quickly demo the album. All it took was people hearing Hate It or Love It and they instantly copped. :banderas: Good old days. Funniest thing were people demoing the album on the iPod and asking if it really was on the CD. People really were technology illiterate back then. Like yo, I have it on a damn iPod, why would it not be on the CD? :mjlol:

I remember when some trench coat wearing dude would come into the barbershop and for that split second, the whole world stopped and you didn't know what the fukk he was about to do, then those faithful words would ring out. "CDs DVDs. I got what you need:myman:" You would watch as an unfathomable amount of items spilled out from his coat like a waterfall. You take the DvDs home and it's blurry and people walking all through that shyt.

Maybe not a a million but definitely enough to stay fresh and maybe cop a whip

I made weed money off of it for a little bit because Circuit City had CD towers for the low and once I got a CD burner in my PC it was a wrap

The kirk to the fields
20 min.. Nero used to hold a breh down :wow:

run dual burners, 2 cd's at a time

burning cd's/dvds. addicted to porn nikkas would be the main DVD customers. then modding xboxes and burning xbox games.. if you was in a hood, and/or around a college, one could eat pretty decent
This was my hustle for a while, but I didn't do it myself. I was a middle man.

That plus my catfishing hustle and my other middle man services, made me the flyest nikka in my school and my hood at like 16 y/o

Then the internet became too accessible to everyone which basically created too much competition and now the shyt is dry.

Before we were close, my homie sold CD"s for $5, and I said what if I give you a list of songs? and he was like for sure. So the songs were like

Nas Blaze A 50
Nas Eye For An Eye Freestyle
Shyne Bad Boyz original version
Black Rob Whoa remix
Anywhere 112 and Shyne remix
Between Me And You Remix


and he came back days later, like you know how long it took me to do this? on a 56k connection? and I just threw the money at his desk and said yeah thanks man LOL

he said he hated me after that for awhile.
He probably was fighting hella viruses downloading them songs lol
