What is the philosophy of a street performer?

[King]

Like those people who play instruments and sing and shyt in public. Especially at major city centers. Not those scam dice and card game people, but the ones who have some musical talent they’re showing off.

It it all a hustle? Some of em don’t even have collection plates out. Are they doing it for attention, is it an ego thing? Are they trying to get signed, get some kind of record contract because they can sing real well? Or play an instrument?

At what point do they just say fukk it and stop performing in public?

These are the questions that the people deserve the answers to.

@O Fenômeno aren’t you a street performer, what’s your philosophy?

Everybody’s reason is different

some are looking to get discovered

some don’t want to get a regular job

some simply just like playing music or instruments on the corner

OP apparently has never had a hobby or an outlet for creativity in his entire life. If this is the first thing you say to yourself when you see a musician on the steet thats kinda sad.

They do it for the art to channel the inner essence and energy of New York


^^^^^ Whenever they get interviewed it feels like they always say some try hard deep stuff like this, why don't none of them say, cause its fun!


Must be lit to see random people get all at your performance on the street.

In NYC some of the street performers used to be on shows like "American Idol" and "America's got talent".


One time I on the 5 train this legitimately dope rapper freestyled on the fly, it was no, it wasn't KRS - One rapping I used that smiley to show my excitement at his freestyle.
