My friend and I also hustled bootleg rap albums in the early 2000s, but in our case, we were two white kids selling the explicit versions of the albums you couldn't buy at the nearest music store, which was a Wal-Mart. Lots of our customers already had the album, they just wanted the version with the curses left in.
It was also (to us) INCREDIBLY expensive to buy a CD burner, so before either of us could get one, we made cassette tapes of the albums, and sold those.
The weirdest thing for me to think about looking back on it is how many of my peers still had cassette tape players in the year 2000.
