If you want the independent artist! Go to a MOM & POP but if you want JAY-Z/NAS/P. DIDDY, Then you go to a MAJOR CHAIN STORE, And the price is usually a little better
^^^^exactly,major chains are worthless to me for what i buy,they dont carry anything worth a shit...i stick to the mom and pop,they have what i am looking for,even if i might have to pay a little extra...

i go wherever the cd's are as far as kali/bay stuff. but i'll buy the mainstream shit off half.com for much cheaper than they sell it at tower and shit. i'll download a couple tracks off a mainstream album to see if its worth it though.
moms & pops for the underground shit and sam goodys or hastings in case theres no mom & pop stores open at the time or no mom & pop stores in the town i'm in at the time.
