…well, referring to those now-infamous left and right shoes.
Way to man up, Big. Take the L, keep strollin’.
I meant to say this part the other day but didn’t feel like continuing on about the whole thing, plus I wanted to see what Big had to say.
Clark Kent & the other cat from Sneakerpimps, y’all hoed up.
In an interview with Nice Kicks, they were all “We represent sneaker culture” rah rah siss-boom-bah. Yet, when asked about the whole thing, they pawned it off on the fact that they didn’t have a chance to catch Big Boi before he went on stage.
Yet, you checked some other kid @ the door for wearing fakes? You were going to set his shoes on fire? Oh really?
None of that sounds plausible.
Unless I have a conversation with Clark Kent or hear something differently that makes me see things differently about his personality & “history,” I’ll just keep proclaiming that this dude is just another leech who got cash & hopped in the game.
Do I believe or expect that every celeb pictured in the latest Dunks has a rich history & knowledge in sneakers? No. But do if you don’t, don’t front. Do like Big, say you got on, got some bread and started coppin’ what you missed out on or that you pay a stylist & countless connects to keep you fresh. That’s way more respectable.
Furthermore, I’m of the high & might opinion that a gathering of “sneakerheads” is about as cool as a Star Trek convention. Meeting an employee @ a shoe store & chopping it up about shoes or passing a nod acknowledging a cats kicks on the streets, both are cool. Attending an organized sausagefest with sneakers being the commonality = basura.
Anyways, props to Maurice & watch for the upcoming footage & feature he’s got with the whole Dungeon Fam.
As an extra, here’s a little footage of Sir Lucious’ performance @ Sneakerpimps Atlanta.

Exactly. The few girls that are there are usually dragged there by their man or just there cause it’s an opportunity to look “cute”.
Watching this and seeing Goodie M.O.B. has the feelin’ of a possible reunion…
Good job Mr. Garland…
dat boy keepin it trill…
seriously though, I know where he’s comin from(II). I remember when I first came up on some money like 3 yrs ago and started searching for the sneakers I missed out on during my childhood. My first pair of jordans were fakes. I just took it as a learning experience and kept it movin. No need to be uppity bout shit that cost bout $10 to make….
Whoa now let’s not go knocking Star Trek

LMAO @ they got me folk
“Fuck the shoes….Look at the car.”
Ahahaha. Well done.
No need to knock Star Trek; *giving Gotty 1/4 of the live long and prosper hand gesture.* lol!!!!
No one is an expert when they 1st start, I am positive the hardest of the hardcore sneaker head has brought a fake pair of kicks before. As Trill Smith said it is a learning experience.
Reading the article both Clark Kent and Dave Jeff come off as pretentious.
just took a quick listen to that new AZ joint…don’t waste your time – the tin ear is in full effect…already done deleted that shit off my HD
:-D
I’d rock nothing but fake Jordons if I drove a Bentley.
I respect Big Boi for not rick Rossin’ the situation and just staying he didn’t know. Not everybody is all extra bout kicks as yours truly.
Still I ‘d Rock Real Js and drive a fake Bentley.
=======================================================
@Gotty I cosign about the Sneaker Shows way to many Hype Beast that think kicks started in 2002 with Nike SB that’s why I have entered a competition or been to a show in 2 years. However I still may attend SneakerPimps in Philly, Because on the plus side I’ve made a lot of paper from the shows and I tons of contacts to exclusive footery
in real cities at these “sausage sneakerheads festivals” real MCs and real DJs show up to perform. not surprising that you forgot this fact seeing that TSS has transformed from a hip-hop community to an “urban lifestyle lifestyle magazine”
dont believe me?
look at the post about the gucci dunks supporting and encouraging sneaker hype
What the hell was cee lo doing in that?
i know yall are gonna hate on me for this but the sneaker thing is a lil overrated.
yall need jesus or something…a weed habit or anything
I got about 10 pairs of sneakers a few are rare a pair of guccis and a few airmaxes but besides that i dont get to deep with it.
all that buying three pair shit is some crazy shit to me.
i cant sacrafice my weed habit for shoes which are supposed to get dirty and worn out eventually anyways.
Petey, that’s my point. You got dudes out here that talk about nothing but sneakers, spend their whole minimum wage every weekend on shoes, but ask you for money for a hot dog. Like, mafucka you’re “fresh”. Why you need me for shit? Takes me back to the days of dudes riding the trains with 300 dolla throwbacks with matching fitteds and brand new AF1′s. The same dudes that get caught for jumping the turnstiles. Pathetic…
yall need jesus or something…a weed habit or anything

Sorry, Petey. You buy herbs, I buy gear. Everybody has their kicks in life, so to each his own.

It’s quite simple. If you think Hip-Hop is just music, that’s where you lost. If you think it’s still just the basic elements, you lost again.
Hip-Hop is a lifestyle @ this point. A large majority of our readers are of age, involved in careers & have families. Their interests go further than smoking L’s & listening to the latest song w/their headphones on, hoping that their parents/roommates don’t get mad lol.
And since whatever i’m thinking is 8 out of 10x influenced by Hip-Hop & approached from a Hip-Hop perspective. Therefore, this is TSS and this is still Hip-Hop.
Now go play. I’m busy.

enh. “Hip-Hop” as a culture is bigger than just music. See my statements above.

enh…I simply replied to a comment.
It’s funny how if I disagree w/someone who disagrees with something I said, I’m “going off.” I’ll be sure to add a few extra “lol’s” to help clarify.
It’s not that serious…lol.
were good fam…lol
TSS been MAJOR
*worms it out*
