Venice Beach right in front of the weight lifting section/tennis courts is notorious for that

"ey bruh you like rap?"

 

[rsdplaya]

Him: Hey, you listen to rap?
Me: Yea
Him: Well here's a free CD for you
Me: Free? Alright cool *grab CD*
Him: Well it would be great if you could make a donation tho...
Me: *throws CD back at him and leaves*

Most of the time I keep walking... If they keep asking me about it, I'll just say I don't listen to rap / have money.

I'm in LA so there is no bodegas out here but a group of dudes tried to hustle me the other day for "the hottest album out right now".

Him: My man you like hip-hop?
Me: Since I was a kid
Him: Well check this CD out Ive been in the studio recording this for the past year, the hottest album out right now and you can hear it first
*Puts the CD in my hand*
Me: Alright well I'll give it a listen
Him: Wait up dawg, its 9 dollars though.
Me: 

here you go *Walks away*

 

[backpacker23]

I just say"me no speaky ingles" and keep walking

Hand the @%%+ out for free..More people would be inclined to take it and more people will actually give it a listen because you are showing passion for what you do and willing to take a money loss. Shows you are considering the listeners time and money.

$5 on the cd's. You'll sell 100 and that's if you are good.Most likely you will sell 20 maybe 30. What does that even cover for you.. You have to just hand out the cd for free.. No typical rainbow coloredmixtape cover... No gimmicks...

You have to get your name out first then charge cd's... Not charge for cd's to get your name out that @%%+ is just a lack of common sense.

this. 

i would add though, that it does take balls to stand out on the street and try to peddle (read: hustle) your product everyday.  there's a lot of people that can't/wouldn't. 
especially when you know that you will be rejected by 9 out of 10 people. 

i respect the fact that they know what they want and are pursuing it.

   You can find a pic of one of them on nt somewhere.  Look for dreads, a blazer with a wal-mart graphic tee under neath.

Why man.....Why?

I've bumped into this dude hustling his gospel cd's like 4 or 5 times in random spots in the city.  I never buy anything, but the first time I asked him to sing something and he actually sounded good.  I'm not into gospel though.

 

[nek32]

These "rappers" were "performing" and trying to sell their CD at some local towny bar near Green Bay, WI. You can tell they're a joke just by looking at the picture of them. It has to be hard enough to try and sell your own music, but at least try not to look like a complete ****** while doing it....throwing up gang signs when you're Straight Outta 'Sconsin.

 

[frenchblue23]

"Hey man, you like Rap music?"

Nope.

*Walks away*

 

[jayizill21]

there are too many whack rappers in the game right now as it is

Them dudes are irritating. Along with the chicks who stop you and try selling you some cologne on the streets.

 

[wildershoe]

Happens in Lincoln occasionally... I bought one that was decent and gotten a bunch of free ones... usually I will listen to them to laugh at how terrible they are

  Got one the other night while I was at work, dude had on fusion 8's on the cover
