mount rapmore t-shirt

Am I the only one who feels vaguely offended by the gesture that attractive lady is making?

We all know I am no authority on hip hop or rap, but if I like a tee then I like a tee, and this design from Headline Shirts is pretty cool.

*OMG it’s 2 Pac’s birthday today (well, it would be), and you can get this shirt for $2, yeah, two dollars, by using the coupon code 2PAC at the checkout, CHEAPNESS!*

It’s pretty well documented at this point that whilst I don’t really have a problem with hip-hop, I don’t understand it, and I don’t listen to it all that often, and when I do it needs to sample an indie or rock band for me to get it. That said, I’d be a bit of a fraud wearing this hoodie, but I’d look pretty cool doing it.

IMGP4849 2 480x321 Hiphopopotamus by Hippo Esthetics

I am so sure I’ve heard someone use this word in a movie or TV show, I think it was a guy with a fake Eastern European or Middle Eastern accent, anyone know what I’m talking about?

Kind Of A Big Deal by aTYPICAL

kindofabigdeal 480x320 Kind Of A Big Deal by aTYPICAL

I get the feeling that I’d be a lot more impressed with this tee without the image of the Notorious BIG (who I recognised, so maybe I’m not as hip hop blind as I thought), but I still like what they’ve done with the text.

3144410 1 99 problems 480x475 99 Problems by Reece Ward at redbubble

I don’t really listen to a lot of hip hop, and when I do it’s usually a unusual remix that I’ve stumbled upon on Hype Machine, but even I have been known to blast out 99 Problems (especially the ’99 Anthems’ Jaydiohead remix) when the moment strikes me. I get the feeling that I may need to explain this design to anyone that isn’t British. On the rare days when it is merely overcast and not raining us Brits (okay, we might occasionally get a bit of sun) will happily lick away at an ice cream, and a vanilla cone with a Cadbury’s Flake stuck in the top (amazingly, there is a semi-NSFW image in that google image search link if you have the safe search filter on ‘moderate’ or ‘off’) is known as a ’99′. I think that when I was young they cost 99p as well, but I severely doubt that is the case now. See, now it makes sense to everyone, and everyone thinks it’s funny, good work Reece!

‘The Cool Kids’ are taking their Chaunces

August 6, 2008

… that title doesn’t make any sense, but I think you know that i was just going for a generic Chaunce/chance pun-based title. This may come as a massive surprise to you, but the guy who was born and raised in rural Cumbria doesn’t really know much about hip-hop, unless knowing the theme to tune [...]

Say Hello To Council Dukes

June 3, 2008

Let’s do the polite thing and let Council Dukes introduce themselves before I give you my thoughts: Council Dukes is a new streetwear label coming straight outta East London- it typifies all that is admirable about the gentleman thief, the geezer, the cheeky conman who’ll rob you blind with a smile on his face. With [...]
