I happened to stumble across this shirt last week while browsing online. Jugrnaut is a streetwear clothing brand and retail store out of Chicago, IL. While clicking to check out their t-shirts, this gem popped out at me and I couldn’t stop laughing. Ignoring the fact that I couldn’t figure out the black male cartoon character at first, UNTIL I googled Chip Tha Ripper . He is a music artist who has performed with such performers as Kid Cudi. Apparently a lot of his albums contain cartoon work of him and thus Jugrnaut collaborated with him (and allegedly has several times before) to bring you this t-shirt.
Why was I laughing? Well come on, if you were born in the 80′s then you definitely grew up watching The Jetson’s, Flintstones, Simpsons, etc, etc. I don’t know why it tickled me so much but seeing all these female cartoon characters together from my childhood on a t-shirt and after figuring out who Chip was; this design got 100 times funnier. Especially the fact that I don’t think Jane Jetson would fall for a gansta rapper smoking a doobie. I mean I can’t even imagine Chip Tha Ripper flying around Orbit City and sneaking into the SkyPad Apartments past Rosey. Personally I think he’s more Judy’s type.
Cost = $34.00 Buy it at Jugrnaut

One thing that comes to mind is the integration of a hipster to an urban neighborhood undergoing gentrification.
Imagine a hipster digging through his crate of old CDs, past the Beck single, “Loser” and finding Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Planet”. He converts the CD to MP3s, dump them on his iPhone, newly equiped with Dr. Dres’s “Beats” headphones, passes by the local Bodega and grab a 40oz of Pabst Blue Ribbon, makes sure to wrap it in a brown paper bag, all while rocking this t-shirt. If he makes it down the block, on a hot summer night and refrains from moistening his pants he should be good to call himself “hood” and shed the hipster shadow.
From the awesome folks at Print Liberation.
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!*
Can you imagine if I wore this? The levels of irony would be so dangerously high that if I started listening to Journey at the same time I’m pretty sure the world would kerplode.
