And if you’re not in the know, Wacka Flocka Flame is Gucci Mane’s patna dem, and he’s arguably the hottest artist in Atlanta, and his song “O Lets Do It” is all over the place. Just thought ya’ll should know.
Grip Plyaz’s “F*ck Dat Hipster Sh*t” is the crunkest song in Atlanta in 2009 (in my opinion, of course). I gotta get one of these t-shirts. If you want one you can get it here.
Good Monday to ya, and I hope everyone had a good weekend. I want to start this week on The Block by shouting out my people over at the Brown Derby Haberdashery. BDH is a clothing line down in my hometown, Charleston, SC, that specializes in graphic tees, and ya’ll know polos and graphics tees are all I really fuxs with. The homies KJ and ChuckT are regular Block readers, and they run is over at Brown Derby, too.
They actually just dropped some tees for women, so I’m encourage ladies to cop some shirts from my peeps. Their men’s shirts are pretty cool, too. They sent me a couple shirts awhile back, but they didn’t send me the Mannie & Weezy & Juvie & Turk & B.G. shirt; that one is the hotness but beggers can’t be choosers.
But I do rock with this dudes. Their blog is pretty cool, and they interviewed me last year, too. So, I have to return the love that they’ve shown me, and The Block over the years. I’m gonna cop a couple shirts for the summer, too. I rocks the ish, ya’ll nuccas ain’t up on yet.
I’m gonna go ahead and say this, I think Young Dro is stealing my “swag.” No homo. Ok, nah, I’m just bullsh!ttin’. I fux with Dro’s music a lot, and from one Polo connoisseur to another, the nucca’s dress game is proper (no homo again, just in case). I respect dude because he’s not afraid to throw on a button-up and rock a sweater vest over it, and shine on nuccas. It’s not very common in hip-hop for nuccas to get fresh like that.
I was at an event a few weeks ago and the homie Wes Fif said to me, “You can tell you’re not from Atlanta. You dress weird as hell.”
Weird…nucca please, all I wear is Polo. I told Fif I dressed better than him, and he replied by saying, “you be clean. In a nerdy, South Carolina alumni kinda way.” Sh!t, that’s sounds fresh to me.
Anyways, I’m not gonna go around saying I have “black boy swag, white boy tags.” Why it gotta be some “white boy” sh!t if a nucca wants to rock a polo? Does it have to be “white boy” if I shop at American Eagle? I’m a grown azz man, dawg. I ain’t rockin’ no XXXL t-shirts. I’m just sayin’, “your white tee, well, to me looks like a nightgown. Make your mama proud, take that thing two sizes down,” and Andre 3000 said that.
Sh!t, I have on a polo shirt right now. I had one on yesterday, too. Oh well, “another day another polo,” is what I say. And if it’s not polo I’m wearing, it’s Sixteen Seventy, and that line is fresh as hell, too. Ain’t no sense in giving Ralph Lauren all the money. Gotta support my nuccas doing it, too. Ya’ll nuccas need to step your fashion game up in ‘09.
Anybody that knows your boy, knows that I’m a Polo fanatic. Actually, one of my favorite sayings is “another day, another Polo.” Yeah, most of the time I’m wearing “something with the emblem that bears the stallion” (c) Malice said that on “Wamp Wamp.” Just something about that Ralph Lauren makes a nucca feel fresh when you stop outta the house, you know, and I love to stay fresh.
Anyways, I was riding in the car the other day and I heard this song on the radio (don’t ask why I was listening to the radio in the first place), and it went something like, “P-O-L-O, all I wear is Polo.” Man, I couldn’t help but jam to that. Sh!t, that’s me, that’s me. I wear Polo.
I didn’t get the name of the artist that sung the song. I mean, that song wasn’t hot, by any means, but the fact that I could relate to it had me gassed. So, I asked some of my DJ peeps, a couple of them had heard of it, none of them knew who’s song it was, and none of them had it.
My dude DJ Teknikz did find out who’s song it was, and a minute ago I stumbled across it on Myspace. The song is called “Polo” by Jay & Dre City, and it features Juney Boomdata, who is the guy that sings “Wuz Up Wit Dat Cookie.” (SMH @ “Wuz Up Wit Dat Cookie”).
The song is basically some Atlanta sh!t, and I don’t expect everyone to feel me on this track. A lot of nuccas don’t got swagger like me, so they can’t relate. I kid, I kid. But my Polo wearing nuccas out there, ya’ll feel me.
KJ, but you said you wouldn’t wear a shirt referencing USC
