LV Dons & Jaspers...

i like to see videos like this. it lets me know that i can really make it in life. it wasnt too long ago when this dude Don C worked at Marshall Fields and Ibn Jasper was cutting hair in a barbershop...this is just a quick video of ibn and don c showing of their LV shoes which were named after them by kanye west...

the come up of FuBu...

spotted the video on Fresh-N-Proper and decided to take a look. i cant even lie, FUBU was popping and i had my fair share of it. i really didnt know about the money that they were making. with me wanting to do my own line, i look at this video and realize that i dont want to be something of just an era. timeless is my approach. i respect what they did and how they did it. it takes risk and maybe a few investments (still looking for those...lol)...

***why did fubu always have that "05"? did that mean thats when they wanted their line to officially end? something to think about.***

i dont want to be one of those bloggers that has a lot of gossip on there but this i had to post. clicking around different sites, i see this pic of ass out jeans...the jeans im not really surprised about, its just where the pic was taken at...FAMU (Florida A&M University). i was kinda shocked that this pic was taken on a college campus. i attend AAMU (Alabama A&M University) another black college and if its at FAMU, i think it aint to far from us...SMH. 

***just in case you didnt know, they cut their jeans like that on purpose...i guess the low rider jeans wasnt good enough...lol...smh***

ok i have figured out that Lupe controls the internet with his music. He will give everyone a split second to download it for free but if you wait too long then you have to pay for it. That happened with me and "shining down". i waited too long to download the song for free. next thing you know, i hear that you can only buy it on itunes. i was kinda pissed. Lupe is a smart man for that one. ANYWHO...this is his new song "this is for my niggas"...
