lol man who are these black people who stan on jedi mind tricks? id like to meet them, only people who stan on jedi are hs/college white boys over here.
in 2010 I met a black college dude who is a IT,Vinnie Paz stan.I remember I went to a cookout once this white dude was there trying to put me on to IT and he brought up “Dancing With The Devil”,then he asked did I ever hear of Diabolic,i was like nah,he pulled his Iphone out went on youtube and let me hear him all out loud.Dude was messing my vibe up that day.Then he started playing KottonMouth Kings…and invited me to his tattoo parlor.
question tho,do alot of white dudes just like JMT and them cuz their white or do they actually think they got skillz?In that whole JMT circle/affilates I can only rock with Ill Bill,Celph Titled,and Apathy(i think he’s affilated not sure)
the white kids that i know who like jmt aren’t mainstream kids, their kinda the outsiders of every group, fuck the man, dont believe everything the media says kinds of kids.
@Kzoh - I agree that GQ rules 2 is not as good as 1, but if you can find 1 then I would suggest starting there. But if you are more into urban fashion then check out this blog http://streetetiquette.com/ and check out some of their styles (they also give a brief history on every style that they showcase). But like I tell everyone who asks me about fashion, I suggest that you find your own personal style. For example, when it comes to kicks I usually just wear chucks and maybe vans, but I got rid of all my Dunks and J’s because i couldn’t get him to the colorway. I also wear a lot of polo and oxford shirts. But there is a lot out there, I would suggest just look at some people that you would consider fashionable and go from there. See how you can build on their style.
I dress like a white dude, I know about streetetiquette,not my cup of tea, I’m a fan of J crew type fits, pretty much everything they show on the site being modeled is fly to me.
I wad thinking about picking this up, any other suggestions on reading materials?

No never ever rock those way to flimsy for 50 bucks grab some jack purcell converse or adidas Stan smiths.

Yo somebody tell unreal they got some Jordan’s in a size 17
Niggas bathe in Dawn soap???Where they do that dat? U can use normal soap for dat ish
The problem with GQ Rules 2 is that they show a bunch of guys wearing stuff that you generally don’t see guys trying to get away with in the magazine. I didn’t bother watching all of them because they were making too many mistakes, but the third one, about the hats, was on point. The first one, for example was bad. The first guy they have is wearing deck shoes with a suit, and trying to pass it off as cool. Between that and the loose tie, he just looks like a scrub. You either wear a tie properly or you don’t wear one at all. If you don’t want to wear a tie, then you shouldn’t swear a shirt that requires a tie. Only props he gets is on the colors being coordinated, but it’s Navy Blue so it’s not rocket science.
Certain styles don’t work for certain guys. Don’t believe that Kumbaya ‘anyone can wear anything’ crap. It’s not true. White guys can almost never get away with wearing zoot suits. Black and Latinos can do it no problem. Zoot suits have to be cut a very specific way in order to not look ridiculous on a White guy. White guys can get away with wearing a designer t-shirt with a sports jacket. Almost always looks juvenile on a Black guy. Most of the time Black guys wear T-shirts that don’t fall right with sports jackets, among other things. If a Black guy is trying to go for a casual look with a Sports Jacket he should wear a Banlon shirt. That way he can look good, and no one will confuse him for a hipster.
Deck shoes with a suit is fail for anyone. A lot of hipsters do this, but hipster fashion is failure incarnate. If you don’t want to wear dress shoes with a suit, go with loafers.
The first thing you need to know is how clothes are supposed to properly fit. The basics. Most guys buy regular clothes that don’t fit right. A good place to learn the basics is atailoredsuit.com which focuses on suits. All of their advice is correct, and you can apply it to other stuff. The best material to learn stuff from would be college text books on textile design and pattern drafting. Those books give you a lot of info, and history, especially when it comes to classic styles. Once you know how the rules are supposed to work, you can blend in your own style. When you have no clue about the basics…you end up looking like a hipster. Knowledge of textiles separates amateurs from masters. You’ll be able to put together an outfit that looks good, and do it cheaply. Aside from the compliments, there’s something to be said when a woman can’t keep her hands off your shirt because she ‘loves the way it feels’.
Black folks have a wide variety of skin tones. Wearing clothes that compliment your particular skin tone makes a huge difference. There’s not really a place that give great advice on that, so I’d just recommend looking into color theory a little. As a general rule Black folks (and anyone else with brown skin) all look good in blue, but you just have to find the shades of blue that work best for you.
Anways, random throwback

Nice post. I can’t lie. I’m a sucker for Sperry’s and some chinos but you’re right. Not with a sport jacket/blazer/whole suit. It throws it off and should be with a crewneck sweater. However they kinda work with Chucks and boots imo. I can get away with the t-shirt thing tho.
Don’t fuck up a tie either. Thats a shame dude was from Band of Outsiders too. Love their shit
Yo, post the song you thing is you’re theme song… for your personality, how you be feelin most the time, or the song that gets you through/keeps you focused
Whatever man - Redman is my theme song. I mean, the lyrics aren’t 100% me… probably not even 20% me, lol. But the feel of the song and the chorus is me.

The past couple weeks have been hell for me (not emotionally but just so much studying for finals) and Young Jeezy has been getting me through it. Recession, Real is Back, TM103.
And if im in a happy good mood I can honestly listen to anything and vibe to it, even emo Budden songs, lol
