Step back into the chaos and charisma of Miami, 1988 — when fast money ruled the streets, loyalty had a price, and the game moved faster than the law could keep up.

The Hustlers Archive digs deep into the untold stories of the crack era — the rise of street empires, the fall of legends, and the price everyone paid chasing the American dream. Narrated with grit and soul by DJ Vinyl Richie, this episode brings you the real energy of the late ’80s Miami underworld — where cash flowed heavy, consequences hit harder, and survival was the only code that mattered.

Crown heavy… but we still wear it. 👑”

In 1954, advertisers were taught how to “sell to the Negro.” They studied the psychology, language, and habits of Black consumers — not to empower them, but to profit from them. Decades later, the same playbook still runs… just with new packaging, new faces, and digital upgrades.

They Still Selling to Us is a raw, reflective documentary that uses original 1950s marketing audio, layered with modern narration and visual storytelling, to expose how capitalism continues to rebrand control as culture. From record stores to sneaker drops, from commercials to Instagram ads — the tactics never stopped.

Produced by Hustlers Archive, this film bridges history, marketing, and truth, revealing how every era finds a new way to put a price tag on Black influence.
