nothing is wrong with that hussle gemini, and im sure some of it is legit. just don’t put your disgusting fingers on me or get in my personal space and learn to take NO for an answer. it’s just frustrating when you have to deal with it basically on a daily basis. they prey upon the morons who shop the streets of soho.
Gemini, The ones I see are usually younger looking – more mid-teens and likely trying to supplement their allowance / make some spending money. They don’t seem indigent – usually fairly well dressed. In probably 75% of cases they are polite and I have no problem with it.
“CarG – yes you are right, I guess they are strategizing that you are sorta trapped on the train until the next stop…”
But, I’m even LESS inclined to give them money when they disturb me on the train. On my commute, I just want to read the paper or listen to my music. I don’t want to be bothered. On the platform, I’m more inclined to give money if I enjoy the performance. That’s just me.
CarG – yes you are right, I guess they are strategizing that you are sorta trapped on the train until the next stop…
Etson – see that’s even more sad. It’s b?c these kids can’t get jobs and they at least are trying to sell candy to make $40 a day than sell drugs… I hope
carg: -I too like to just read and I dont like to be bothered at all, so I understand how some rapper wannabe would be annoying
Rob – ok got it, no touching allowed
etson – you have a point

“take it from me, I work for a record label”
Would your label have any interest in picking up “Lame Brownstoner Song Rewrites by Biff Champion and Brokedeveloper”?
If that doesn’t work I’m hitting the subways.
