Why New York rappers still sell CD's on the street (Complex)

[torcher]

I see a million mixtapes online and don't bother with 99% of them. But if you step to me and hand me a CD, I'll probably throw it in the CD player in the car, even if you sing country.

I feel the same way. I actually listen to the CD's in my car that people hand me but I know if you told me ya sounclound I wouldnt go research you. I think you have a good chance of sellin a CD in NY too as opposed to other places since it so many tourists willin to throw away money on anything

 

[Wepa Man]

Its not only in NYC

Your cousin is slow

Nah, this kid can do anything and everything with an iPad including publish his own videos on YouTube. The point is he don't need physical media to do any of that.

You really like children born in the late 2000s have any use for a fukking CD breh?

It’s the rare aggressive sellers like the one in 2009 who had a shootout with police who cause the stigma to persist.

Nikkas really losing their lives out here trying to make a buck and survive...

With everyone pushing music online.

Being one of the last few to pedal your stuff in person will help you stand out.

Now, they could add the element of recording yourself doing so and create a youtube channel for a true grass roots uprising.. Some people like to feel like they are apart of your process, and if you're actually good and consistent ....you have a shot..

Hell nah. Europeans are the fukking worst. French are obnoxious AF and the Asians are annoying AF too.

True story: i used to work for this one company based in midtown back in 2013. We went out one day for work over in Harlem. There was a breh literally out there with 20 something European Tourists up around 175th doing "hood tours"...it was just so to see.

I respect the grind, but these nikkas have ALWAYS been annoying as fukk.

They stay trying to guilt trip you when you don't want to buy their cd.

It wouldn't be bad if they didn't hand you their cd like its free and expect you to pay. fukk that.
