Man....think about it. Remember you used to see em at MacArthur, then all up and down E-1-4. It was 4 regulars that used to be up and down foothill. That doesn't even mention all the youngsters that was doin it. I'm talkin about the big timers that was known for it. The ones with HELLA CD's to choose from with the printed computer label on top of the CD.

Like the song says on our album: "They Gon'"

For about the last 3 months they been slowly dissappearin. I know of one that quit on his own. Three others I can't even reach. They are never at they post. Where did they go?

I know of a couple "incidents" between bootleggers and local artists. Its gettin dangerous to bootleg in Oakland. Maybe they just picked up and moved to another city.

Its some still out there, but its gone way down. ANybody else notice this.

Yeah, i used to be able to walk accross the street to the liquor store on 109 and they'd all be there with their bulging backpacks, smiling faces and leather cases....

It is getting dangerous, but i've seen a rise on bootleggas in BART, going up and down each train, hoppin off once they've made their run.

I got a couple homies who make this their living, they don't leave that BART station 'till they've sold up to 10-15 CD's at 5 a pop...

Not only are the artists crackin down but the cops are gettin grimier. Got undercovers n shit lol....

Hell yeah, last time i bought a CD it was from some underground cat tryna sell his CD's over on Market street. Of course i support anyone who's out there tryna do they thang so i bought one and it turned out to not be compatable with any cd player, computer, dvd player, nothin...lol.
