I might be a little late but Red Bottoms aren’t Jordans…they are LV Rennes
Yeah because he didn’t explain himself on All Falls Down :rolleyes: and Kanye never produced 98% of a Common album, or Slum Village- Selfish, Lupe’s The Cool, Dilated Peoples- This Way, or Dilla’s- We F’d Up (Pay Jay). Niggas forgot Kanye was the prime backpacker???
Last time I checked Sean Jean and Rocawear were still being sold in major departments stores such as Macy’s/Dillards and JCPenny.
All of the people you have listed have not had a major impact on Hip Hop Fashion. They have not brought something new to the table. They are just wearing what their stylist want them to wear. Matter a fact only three of the people who you have listed put out a fashion line. Beyonce, Kanye and Jlo. All of which have had there clothing flop or never made off the run way into stores.

They the same niggas that robbed Soulja? That shit dubbed lol
So was Ride Ciara’s tip drill?

She’s fell the fuck off since then.
I wasn’t hearing much about Ciara before ride, but looking back at that vid I wouldn’t be surprised if that put a nail in her coffin.
No offense, but I don’t get exactly what you’re trying to say. I’m being serious.
I been discovering a lot of Nas gems lately:

Saw Chamillionaire the other night…90% of the show was “opening” local artist, then he came out, but it was still pretty wack…I cant get down with Texas hiphop/rap lol…but HEY these dudes here love him…
Cham said he was gonna release a vid for every song on his next album and that NO other rapper can fuck with him on his best day lol…
Dunno what type of hip hop you like but try Strange Fruit Project, or H.I.S.D “hueston independent spit district” or The Niyat.

I listen to eastcoast/midwest…i was just stating that cause it was my first time at a show like that(texas rapper) I saw Talib in Austin and that was dope
Gotcha, all those i listed are from texas, without the lean, grillz gimmicks.
just listened to it and that was pretty dope :o
Hisd gets no fuckimg love them dudes had a criminally slept on album
Yea, I know that. What the context was is he said Ross made people want to get Red Bottoms…I’m coming from the avenue that Jordans are the hustle, not red Bottoms.
Jordan’s still run the sneaker game no expensive ass 800 dollar will beat them it’s apart of American pop culture
No. You can ultimately like an dislike whatever you feel. In this thread we discuss all areas, eras, an artist within the world of HIP HOP. You on the other hand come in with assumptions and no type of evidence only what you feel. Your not saying this album is the best or i enjoy this artist for such an such. Youre giving artist credit for things that is done in EVERY era since the initial birth of this. What is being done today is nothing new your giving credit to artist and things in this culture as if its BRAND NEW or pure trendsetting… Then when shown your response is its wack, where is it now… etc.
As I stated to you, you need to really do research cause your stuck with your arguments. Its not ‘over analyzing’ when you say the things you do it simple shows what you don’t know and where you lack in knowledge of what you love. Your the one the refuses to learn the history thus when you state things you sound like you JUST start listening to Rap music in 2000 an got a semi understanding of HIP HOP in 2003. Then when your shown your flaws an majority of people agree your defense is that of typical Street Fighter argument… oh yall over analyzing or this thread has haters.
If you saying kanye started things for the new generation. ok… Don’t sit an try to say what he is doing is brand new or he created this or that in which it has never been done. Again every ERA has had a KANYE (if thats who you feel is ‘trendsetting’ “opening it up”). You refuse to believe that… Don’t think artist today that ‘venture off the path’ an open up new ‘topics’ is now…
I don’t over analyze. i like and dislike a lot. I will break down points to people who dont know as it was taught to me. Just like youre schooled by the ‘old heads’ in the barber shop…
scenario i remember witnessing:
youngin: "they cant dance like they can today… hell even the gangbangers got hot dances. look at the crip walk…"
old head in chair: “… that crip walkin shyt young blood aint nothin but james brown camel walk…”
punches in words on his phone
youngin: “…o…m…g…”
Yup, ain’t no one killin’ folks or standing in line for hours for some red bottoms…hell, I wouldn’t even know where to cop them (even though the ones that were posted ain’t my tup of tea)
My point wasnt that nobody ever had a clothing line. lol.
My point was before Kanye there wasnt such a merging of hip hop and luxuriousness. Metrosexualism in urban culture. And the way some of you are arguing otherwise is to tell me I need to “do more research.”
I can agree to disagree or whatever.
I love how my generation has access to all this info n shit yet they don’t think to do a quick search. realize This new high end shit ain’t nothing but the return of the Dapper Dan era in black fashion We been had high end custom shit in hip hop .niggas need to look back at the 80s n shit
Dude look at Eric b and Rakim and Big Daddy Kane look at them niggas clothes quit being a damb idiot .Look at fucking new edition wrex n effect look at Tupac look at Biggie . Look at them old album covers.
