Is selling CDs out the trunk dead?

I honestly question the same thing. I am currently promoting my latest project right now and im having more success selling it online than in person. Folks are broke these days. Face to Face I prefer to give it out.
 
If you live in Seattle, people are afraid of everyone else. If you approach them about buying your CD... you'll get sprayed with pepper spray.

"NO! I don't want it! He's trying to snatch my purse HELP! HELP!"

Yeah, people do try to sell them at those spots. But my point is that people selling out of the trunk shouldn't expect the same success as the people who were selling pre-2000.

Can anyone name a couple of artists that achieved success through selling in the streets in the 2000's and didn't begin selling in the 90's?

Everyone always names 3-6 or cashmoney, z-ro and UGK but all of these artists GAINED success by selling out of the trunk and, for better or worse, either stopped selling out of the trunk or maintaining popularity with their core fanbase.

But I can't think of anyone after 2000 who was successful at selling out of the trunk

Its just too costly when you go on the road to sell cd's.

Every city has their own rappers trying to push their own movement.

It's still alive... but it takes a strategy and not being near sighted. Sellin' out tha trunk is a step to bigger things. I look at it as payin' dues in the streets. Have a plan and see the big picture.
 
word...

"advertising" is prolly a better reason to sell on the streets as opposed to "profiting" nowadays...
