I made a small fortune burning cds.
All retail albums and mixtapes .
And folks would pay more for the instrumental mixtapes.
I would even sell mixtapes like color changing click to retail stores , and they would throw their own case on it.
If I remember right, it was Hastings.

Feurio and Nero held me down :blessed:

Got my 1st pc with a cd burner back in the day it was wrap. You want mixes with cd-text song and album titles on it, I got it.

Used to have the cd visor holder and case-logic 50 cd booklet in the car.

The 1st blank cd's were gold and black joints from Pioneer, $25 a piece back in the late 90's

The Pioneer CDRs looked good, but the Mitsui CDRs were archival quality.

I don’t like those new touchscreen radios(the ones that look like a tablet) that folks be putting in their older cars. That shyt is looks tacky as hell.
My latest car is the first to have the screen setup and no cd player/changer...lowkey I feel I should still have that in my car..it took me a long time to come around to the streaming era lol

I was in Belize in July. I went to the DJ asking for a CD of the latest dancehall tunes.
:flabbynsick:
DJ said we don’t do that anymore.
:why:
I asked, can I get you a thumbdrive and you load it up?
:patrice:
He said, you can create your own mixtape on YouTube and stream it.
:beli:
Dude sounded legit irritated. I'm trying to put money in your pocket. You could have charged me anything and I would have paid.
:childplease:
@RehReh I'm trying to listen to the latest Alkaline, Vibez and relax with the Wifey. I need the tunes.

Yes indeed! I made good money in that era. So much I had to cut my hours at work because it started getting in the way of my money.
