If moms n pops shops charge more it dont matter I stik wit em cuz they know how to treat they customers n shit! When I used to live in tha Sco I would go to Creative or FSS like 2 or 3 times a week n half the time I didnt even buy shit I jus hung out there n chopped it up wit em and it didnt even matter cuz they knew I always broke bread wit em....Joe n Elba are good ass people and so is dem cats at the Street Show(Joe-Marvin-Rick when he used to work there)! Plus they know if you a valued customer n show luv back wit discounts n deals n shit.....Yeah I'll admit since I moved to Hayward I went to Rasputins a couple of times cuz I dont know any moms n pops shops around here but shit I still cross the bridge to hit up the Show or Creative when I git the chance......damn I'm drunk but yeah fukk Target n Walmart buyin cd's there is for soccer moms!

The huge chains -- Walmart, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. sell CD's and DVD's at a lower price, without much retail mark-up, because they want to lure customers in to their establishments to spend money on other "big ticket" items, groceries, etc. Unfortunately, this fucks with the business agenda of a mom and pop record shop who only sell music and movies, maybe some gear... shit look what happened to Tower Records. I mean, in a capitalist sense, it make for great business -- why would your average customer go to a mom and pop and pay $17 for each cd, when they can go to wal-mart and pick up that same cd for $10, plus buy some toilet paper, a bb gun, toys for the kids, wifebeaters, some microwavable burritos, and a big ol bag of dog food. It's all about convenience for our lazy American asses. But anyways, big ups to the independent shops and those that shop at them.

mom and pop store in seaside cali hipped me to the bay game back in the late 80's. You could tell dude, who owned the joint, delt with the artist personally. Met E40 & Blegit at that store in 1990. They were dropping off some shit. Short, but sweet, Moms and Pops all the way.
