He's right, bama in DC is pretty much everyone not from DC, and that includes MD and Va
So I shouldn't take videos or Fab and Jay-Z wearing Uptowns, I should take your word?
Instead of Clark Kent and Mayor, I should take your word?
I shouldn't take what i know, I should take your word?
GTFOH
Who thinks they're doing it and impressing people in sneakers and sweats in the first place?
If I want to know about hoes and strippers I'll come to you, sneakers, muthafucka please.
bro i'm so far away from the sneaker culture & regional pride shit that i have 0 fucks to give about the topic. i'm an impartial observer at this point & back then loved shit about dc and ny.
dc couldnt touch ny for hiphop culture. period. the ny mixtape game and club scene was crazy.
foamposites in the late 90's were really only hot in dc. thats why they soold so shitty the first few years. cats would get clowned for wearing them in other places. in the 2000's when internet fueled this new sneaker culture, they blew up nationally and thats when people from all over jumped on board. wale then pushed it further with his platform.
nobody in dc got a check for being the region that jumped on board first so not even sure why u would give a fuck but if u really wanted the history, there it is.
ohhhhhhhhh boy..so jay and fab wearing kicks represented all of ny..i guess cause jay posted in a bently in 96 alllll ny nigs was pushing those to...or since fab had a rolex i guess every ny nig had 1 to... did u juss talk about two rich nigs like they represented ny every day fashion.. ok video man so what was nigs rocking in grants tomb during the summer every week..pull up that video where they got 10,000's of nigs rocking air force 1's on that day... pull up them vids of the west indian,afro american, pr day of the several hundred thousands of nigs rocking air force 1's on that day..in fact pull up them skate key vids where nigs was rocking air force 1's in the 90's.. come on vido man pull up them vids to prove your point.. all that crap u said means nothing in day to day life of ny..nobody was rocking them shits like that especially at the several events i juss mention in the 90's..posting up on 25th or 40 deuce u ain't never seen a gang of nigs flyed up wearing them shits on their feet..but mr video man i bet u can prove me wrong so post them vidsSo I shouldn't take videos or Fab and Jay-Z wearing Uptowns, I should take your word?

Pretty sure fab came out the gate in jordan's. Off the top of my head I know he was wearing them in the superwoman and trade it all videos.
First off of all, im not your fucking son you misinformed piece of shit. Higher probability that im actually your dad. Secondly, who gives a fuck about a got dam wack ass Jordan X pack (further proof that you're a fucking bama).. i could give a shit about that clown shit. We are talking about a specific shoe and a specific era... both of which you dont have a fucking clue. Typical loud mouth empty skull nigga you cant tell shit, and he dont know shit. And yes nigga, in DC, you were considered straight fucking bamas.This guy just said NY cats were considered "bama niggas" Fam, go to sleep, you're drunk. Nike wasn't running out to DC to drop kicks, it was (and still is) NYC. You niggas didn't even get shown love on ANY of the Jordan X city packs, EVER, yet Nike knows and fucks with y'all.... Son shut all the way the fuck up

Did I say the nigga never owned a pair of AF1's? I don't understand the point of this post![]()
Like Chuck's and Shell's

Exactly. NO city was a self contained environment with their own culture complete from music to language to clothing... DC didnt embrace outside influence until the early to mid 00's. Talking that "imma be a rapper" shit before early 90s woulda got you laughed out the city on most accounts... Not that it wasnt accepted but it wasnt part of homegrown culture outside a few exceptions.Peace,
DC never even tried to embrace hip hop though. I've never seen a city be more insular with regard to it's fashion and culture.
so that pic is fromthe 90's???fab had a hover board in the 90's wow he's marty mcfly and went back to the future on nigs..wait wait did u juss post a pic in 2016 as ur argument to what i said about the 90's??? nig u already lost..like i said post them 90's pics and vids to prove my statement wrong about 90's ny fashion![]()
Like Chuck's and Shell's
so this pic from the 90's???? lol u still look mad wrong pics and vids from the 90's to prove ur point![]()
You mad, read your post and try and recognize your contradicions
And before them Redman....And before him Doug E Fresh, Salt N Pepa and others used to play local music scene heavy.dc had/ has a rich musical culture and dc did embrace certain artists that embraced dc - Scarface and then Wayne got LOVE in DC. why? they rocked w/ the gogo bands and hung out w/ the cats who were running the city back then and embraced DC's culture.
exactly this nig posting 2016 pics of rappers talking like this represented ny nigs in the 90's..this nig living through tv/vids and trying to argue with a nig born and raised in ny..i ran in them streets in the 90's and nobody rock them shits at outtings..hell u didn't even wear them shits at cookouts cause u mite get them dirty if u in the grass and dirt..like i said reject kicks nigs wasn't fucking with those bullshits..but mr video man gonna try to prove me wrong by posting rappers in 2016 about 90's ny fashion lmao..clown shitSkate KeyFrom Allerton to 138th, I fondly remember those days WELL! AF1 weren't staples, AT ALL
Did I say the nigga never owned a pair of AF1's? I don't understand the point of this post
Don't pull a muscle with the reach fam. I could post a pic of me as a kid in jordan's, barkley's, air max etc but what would be the point?
i'll tell u the reason that some cats get agitated by it.
nyc ran the 90's. it was the mecca of fashion, music, culture. it birthed what will go down maybe as black musics biggest era.
dc had its own style, had its own fashion brands (many black owned biz funded by local hustlers), had its own music (gogo) & so had its own culture.
alot of that shit got jacked by ny cats who came down to hustle. it is what it is but the region w/ the bigger megaphone could easily come in and claim shit that really should be attributed to others. same way, j-lo and kim k can "start the thick women movement" when we have had thick black women since the beginning of time or iggy can wear "african inspired braided hairstyles" and make shit hot when black girls were never allowed to wear that style to job interviews.
so it all seems super petty to me looking back but as i was moving back and forth and seeing inspiration from both cities popping up in the other... the NY inspiration would always get recognized while in DC, cats just had to watch niggas steal the culture they repped hard and claim it as their own with no real way to say damn that's our shit though.
with the internet and shit its really hard to imagine some of thisstuff cuz everything is the same now but back then there was so much pride in repping where ur from by how u look, dress, carry yourself and so the foamposite thing was like... u mf's were clowning these shoes 3 years ago. now you out here posting pics on social media rocking them proudly.....
Ya'll mad

so this from the 90's??? wait wait didn't i say a pr dweeb nig eating school lunch would prob wear those shits..wait isn't fat joe pr he def look like a nig that ate school lunch..nig you juss proved my point...once again posting rappers in modern times to argue your point about ny 90's fashion... where ur skate key 90's pic/vids, where your grant tombs pic/vids at..post themYa'll mad
