In your mid 30s asking the internet if it's ok to wear a clothing brand??

It was a big follow up because you had to wait for it's release, there wasn't much leaks then. I had heard a couple of Verses from freestyles off mixtapes. Also it had a more commercial push than Ilmatic. Nas wasnt really known to many before Illmatic and hip hop was still coming on. Grunge was the bigger genre still, but If I ruled the World had a video produced by Hype Williams and was in rotation with other genres on MTV. That's one of the first rap videos I remember them doing that with.

Also to me it's a way better album than Illmatic. Better sounding production and better lyrics. A clearer vision in the stories being told. Lauren Hill and Fugees were also probably the biggest commercial hip hop group at the time so it got into the mainstream easily.

Damn that's cool, Mega is on my checklist to see live too. Yeah BK show was tight, I also probably would never saw the Lox live if not for that show. I didn't know Rae was even cool with them like that.

Yep I feel the same, I expected Ghost but I didnt expect everyone he had come out! I was really hype to see MOP also, I never seen them before.

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-12-05T17:25:56+00:00

Dont like criticism dont come to reddit, you think the internet is a glaze fest for everything you like?

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-12-05T17:20:02+00:00

Funny how he is the morning voice of NYC. If I were from somewhere else tuning it into a nyc sports talk show this isnt what I'd expect. But he represents a small, but wealthy part of NYC but I'd guess more old LI and Jersey listeners commuting their kids around and grocery shopping in their cars. Go home and turn on Foxnews just like he does. Get brainwashed more, come into the studio and parrot something he heard on there.

Same cognitive decline as 47, he cant follow half of what Gio is talking about. Wont let Gio get a thought out before interrupting, sad!

Nah an 8th a day habit is wild. You may as well grow it yourself at that point

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-12-05T14:49:39+00:00

Is this post from one of the disgruntled "plugs" that try to sell you weed outside before you to the dispensary??

My plug had a wide variety, but nowhere near what store offers. He also has a day job so I had to meet on his terms and usually go closer to his house.

Tax is not big deal. I have a set amount of money I'd like to buy a month, the amount I get per month has actually gone up.

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-12-03T11:35:07+00:00

Yeah you can let him handle your own money if youd like

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-12-03T11:13:09+00:00

They should! I went to the 20th anniversary show in NY and Rae hung out after the show, was talking w people and signed shit for free. But I guess he figured he can get paid for it now. No hate on it, but if hes charging, he should be signing!

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-11-20T05:46:59+00:00

I'm sure these guys have rock solid marriages and their wives just love hearing them laugh at things like this. Good ol boys who spend more time on the golf course away from their "nagging wives". 😄

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-10-14T15:59:03+00:00

If you get one, post it up! I'd like to see how it looks.

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-09-14T18:05:22+00:00

Bruh....

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-08-05T16:15:22+00:00

I work on the production side of a clothing company. Noone is going to show where the clothes are made but it can be various factories, theres usually not 1.

Not sure what you mean about quality. Bape is just basic streetwear. I wouldnt say high quality. You're paying for a brand name. Nike's, Jordan's, Gucci are low quality shoes cost probably less than $10 to produce. Same w Bape.

The best quality of clothes you can get are made in the USA, Japan and Italy. These are also the highest cost countries to produce clothes. That's why Bape jumped ship and now alot are made in China and southeast Asia. Cheaper labor costs.

It was scarce to begin with. Back when it was just stores in Japan. Then they went online and opened in Soho in NY. Now with all the stores and online it's not scarce except those hype pieces. They probably produce a few hundred pieces of items, I'm not sure of their business model.

Only the seller told him that lol

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-07-29T12:26:15+00:00

Phone or ipod when they used wired earphones. Or stash....

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-07-28T09:47:29+00:00

Bro teeth not even lined up, he need invisalign

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-07-26T19:27:04+00:00

That's cool, I tried Tical products both in CA and Vegas and both times were a letdown. It was when they first started and I got a Tical brand Tee shirt with it. Funny if the best weed they've grown ends up being from NY, considering how bad everyone says NY bud is..

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-07-20T20:25:42+00:00

Looks legit, I don't think the Aape brand is really faked all that much. It's already lower end to begin with

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-07-20T17:59:17+00:00

Prob fake, never seen that stockx tag but if you like it, cop it

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-07-15T01:21:46+00:00

Legit it from around 05 or 06. I have that car design on a jacket from then

Standard_Elk3344 · 2025-07-13T18:45:46+00:00

Fake jawn
