DJ Squid - The Ballad of Randy Tibbs

Inbox insanity from DJ Squid. This guy always toes the line between bizzare/sloppy and polished genius. Who knows if this will ever result in an album or EP or beat tape or what. Definitely the weirdest rap coming out of Gary, Indiana.

HJ: Do you make more money off smuggling import vinyl, selling mushrooms, or hustling beats?

DJ Squid: Frankly, the illicit trade of import vinyl is dying out at an alarming rate. I used to make $15,000 a year off of Isaan Ragi records and limited-run Japanese Patti LaBelle picture discs alone, but after the joint INTERPOL/CIA crackdown in Copenhagen back in 2003 a lot of the major players have decided to leave the stage and invest elsewhere. Now I’d be lucky to make $6,000 off of that same deal. When you take into consideration the fact that you’ll have to spend at least half that on bribes to even get the shipment into the country, it just doesn’t seem worth it. The only reason I continue is because it’s something I’m passionate about, and more importantly it’s something I’m good at.

Since the only person I really hustle beats to aside from Aaron Carter is your broke ass, I’d say it’s safe to assume most of my yearly income could be attributed to the sale of mushrooms. By the way, I got that quap you wanted, you can come through and scoop it tomorrow if you want.
