Soon enough im gon be in the same position and Ive thought about should i really do it out the trunk. Yes, i will. Ive bought shit off people, cause like one dude said, of the quality it looked like a legit project the presentation was nice, and the dudes were real cool with me and the others i saw them handle shit with. Its all about time and effort. If your really in it and believe and can take critiscism, you wont have a problem doion the trunk thing.
Thank you, took the words right out my fingertips.
Too many MoFoz claimin' they shit is in stores, but that ain't meanin' shit without the right promotion. The streets is the one that carries the word (word of mouth), out bidding any radio play (in the case of underground music). The street will build the hype & demand.
The internet is another tool that is highly used in the underground, but not everybody has internet...most of the time word gets to the Street Homie by word of mouth (from his Homie with internet).
It's simple, if your album is in stores...it doesn't equal sure album sales, promotion is a key factor...if your shit is on the internet, it don't mean everybody is gonna hear it & pushing Cd's out the trunk...you covering the streets.
Too many Cats focused on the how much money they gonna make & set themselves up for a down fall, get your grind on right, hustle yo shit & never be too proud to make a dime in any spot.
All the riches & glittering gold you see on MTV may come if you stay focused on doing what should be your first love in this game...makin' music.

george making moves. i seen him go to yakima washington and sell 400 cd's in two days. he taught me a lot. when i hit the road it's about paper. them small towns in washington, idaho and oregon will pay you. you gotta cross into canada. find you some canadien beezies in the club in seattle and ride accross with them because canada will confiscate your music without an entertainment permit. arizona will pay you too. you gotta be willing to hit the road. if you got discipline and game you can make a significant sum. if you going out of town with extra dudes that aint hustling and staying at nice rooms (you gotta mack them beezies for a spot to stay, if you aint got kinfolks there,) blowing hella weed and trying to look like a factor in the club your money gonna be short.
^^^^^that's what's up if you got hustle you can eat in the bay and out side the bay if they don't wanna buy your product shoot them a snippet important thing make sure your artwork is good I've seen cats trying to push blank cds with no art work invest a few bucks and at least put some artwork that's cool with your cd

i agree with your ideas but the main objective of the artist selling cds on the streets is to get his product out there. i've offered cats 5 and they've turned me down. lol
anyways me and kontac are in a more unique situation b/c you pop up on someone w/ a cd or dvd with the features we got then it's def. 50/50

on telegraph in berkeley i see a lot of peeps out there hustling from time to time trying to get their cds off. and if they got something where i can hear the music and if it sounds clean i usually buy it. but im going to tell u this i aint buying a cd off someone for 8-10 dollars that i aint heard. i will buy it for 5 just to help the guy out and if i dont like it i wont be as pissed as if i could have payed 10 and bought it in the store from an artist i heard of
