A lot of those small hip hop brands were owned by hip hop artists or the designers were people of color. I would think that a positive development for hip-hop community not a negative one. Big biz has had their grubby hands in hip hop for a long time. It was already happening in the 80s.

True but the quality of the clothes were pathetic. You would see them for sale on 125 St. or some joe shmoe store on 34th St. The documentary made it seem like they were " the ****" but they weren't. Eventually the big stores caved in and it took off. People buying this crap have no taste at all.

I knew a few Decepts on Newkirk Cortelyou e17 side too. Them dudes used to stick up high schools. The principal used to let the kids leave early when they heard they were coming.

How can i forget B.J's when the 2 tone Gore-Tex Vasque boots came in the ALL WHITE boxes and were actually made in Italy. Im gonna go cry now.

I was bugging people out in harlem. I was the first person with air force 1's with BURBERRY checks. AHAH i dont know if thats good or bad now that i think about it.

And they were extremely expensive. A pairbof jeans would sometimes run you $80. Respectively, they are tacky, but people thought they were trendy wardrobe in those days.
