I was checkin out the latest issue of complex ( a GREAT magazine by the way) and i happened upon an add for the fall line at puma. Its all early hip hop influenced. Im all for ghetto revivals, throw backs and all that junk. But wasn't hip hop originally supposed to be more than just gimics, girls, gold and ad campains? This reminds me off the common song " i used to love H.E.R" .
Livin in DC i see A LOT of kids runnin around lookin like this. Real 80's and junk, dookie chains bright colors and the gumbies. I can get down with the look, its fly. I just hate when it looks all costumey and junk.
Hip hop is supposed to be more than this. Now Im not claimin to be no hip hop afficionado or nothin cause im from the burbs and i do watch my MTV. Im just sayin that we look like posers playin dress up if we dont try to enact the change and spread a message like the people we are getting this ish from. I know cash is king, but its nice to believe that sometimes morals and messages actually mean something.
thats all for today

peace&love
