Chased around Times Square by a mixtape scammer

Someone who really tries to hustle you into buying their stuff, for some reason no one in any other genre really does it. But youll sometimes see someone playing their music with instrument, with CDs on display for sale beside them.

Im not saying all mixtape people are like this. but all the ones i've encountered have been. Theyre trying to hustle you. Theyre trying to get you to give them money. And theyre pretty.. salesmany. Theyre not musicians when theyre selling you that stuff. Theyre salesmen. And agressive salesmen at that who do pressure you and will probably shame you if you waste their time.

Which is a whole thing.. dont approach people on the street, who stop for you out of respect, then when they ultimately pay you its cause they feel bad for wasting your time. when in reality its you who is wasting their time.
