Video: Please Don’t Tell Me You Like This

Friday, October 3rd, 2008


Retro Kidz “New Era” from BroBot on Vimeo.

I guess I am going to hate right now, but has anyone seen the Retro Kidz video?  How are these kids getting this kind of shine?  They’re trapped in a time warp.

Now you have seen it. Did you like it? Doesn’t it seem odd that these kids think recreating the cast of “A Different World” and barely having any music talent is commerically viable? It seems like they got famous for dressing like their parents did in college and didn’t know how to monetize the fame except trying to make music. I respect your hustle but please guys no more. How do you evolve from this?

Ewww: Rickie Ross and Foxy Brown?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I don’t follow Rick Ross from week to week. Last I heard from him was Vlad’s $4million lawsuit. So imagine my suprsise when I found this picture of Mr. Ross while browsing an internet party photo website.

To give you some context for this photo it is Fashion Week here in New York and fashion designer Alexander Wang had a party to celebrate his show last Saturday and he hired Foxy Brown to perform. Now I don’t if there was any doubt that Foxy and Rick Ross are together but this should put the nail in that coffin. It appears Rick Ross is still in hiding about the whole thing or maybe it’s just his neck is so fat that he can’t rock the bandana around the neck look like Kanye.

Now here is a photo of Alexander Wang dancing with Foxy

Cuff your dame Ross. He’s pressing up on your girl.

Here is another one of Alexander Wang

Looks kind of sweet to me.

Moral of this story is don’t try and hide out at your girlfriend’s fashion party Rick Ross. We have eyes all over the internet and we will air you out.

SMH: Gucci This, Gucci That

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Gucci has one of the longest running traditions of being “hot” in Hip Hop fashion. Right now it seems that Gucci is about the most popular thing you can have on. Everywhere I go i see Gucci belts, sneakers, and bags. Thankfully the Gucci bucket craze is not back because those looked stupid. I’ll admit I toyed with getting one back in 2000, but thankfully i was just toying.

One of my gripes with hip-hop fashion is that it’s not about standing out but about keeping up. Just because everyone has a Gucci belt doesn’t mean you have to have one as well. If you were really on it you would find a way to flip the Gucci belt. Get one that nobody else has. Scour Ebay and vintage stores and really murder people when you bring it out. Below are two vintage sweaters that may not show off the green and red stripe or the monogram pattern that screams Gucci but will make people ask you what kind of sweater that is.
