Full Episode
I have a room that was like blockbuster. Something like a Madea would come out, I would make a thousand of them in a day. The actual popularity is the thing that was starting to be a problem. They're banging on the windows, hustle man, hustle man, like it's a big deal. I'm a local celebrity, so I opened the door. And that was the worst thing I could ever do.
Working at Lowe's, Lowe's was a pretty good job for Valdosta. Almost half of the population had worked at the Lowe's distribution center. It's like your job, your dream job to get on to there. But with your own child support, That money is so great. So now my check is cut by 25%. So I need some extra money to make up for what's being took for child support. That's when I got into the bootleg game.
I was already burning CDs with the computer just for my personal use. Right. Just to ride around in the car. I had an old 84 Cutlass Supreme with the speakers in it. And, you know, I'm playing the music. And everybody like, dang, you got all the music. Like... But I never really tried to get into selling the CDs. I just made them for my purse.
Because back then it was Napster and Line Wire and stuff like that. We had dial-up in the beginning. So I know a lot of people don't know about the dial-up. But if you know, it's going to... make all those noises and take forever to connect and probably would take at least 15 to 20 minutes a song to download.
but you know at that time that was no problem i mean i'm just making them for my personal use but people asking me just you know can i buy those from you like you know what i think i should start selling these since people asking me because my car was known around town i had roll with records all on the side of the car it was a just a big show.
And I ended up making the CDs and I put them in the cases. They look like CDs out the store and I would make mixed tapes. And then I started downloading other artists, music and albums and all that. So eventually I built up enough in the crates to start really getting out there. Hey, y'all, I got CDs. You can get $5 a piece or whatever.
Where do you go? Like a flea market or just hang out at a spot where everybody goes?
That's it. You go to the spot where they at. And what's better spot than my job? I mean, half the city works here. It's like five, 600 people on each shift. So when they get off, I pop the trunk. I got CDs. And it wasn't a lot of stores that sold CDs. And at the time, CDs were expensive. So you might pay 20 or more for a CD in the store back then. I'm selling them for $5.
So of course... Are these full albums or you're just pulling the best songs of the... I'm doing both. Okay.
