This nikka was a walking HOBO billboard

 

[L&HH]

I just seen a nikka wearing hobo yesterday on the train.

My era was the mid 2000's it was Bonidacci, All Daz, Shooters, Scraypuz, We R One (in that order of popularity) then Solbiato and Mchunu came around, then it was only Solbiato that nikkas really fukked with when I was a junior/senior in high school.

@horse. kills yeah it was Visionz that was asian owned. I actually had a couple of those shirts.

back in the days / robbin for Solb

I remember getting some 991's and Solbiato terry sweat pants for my birthday one year, couldn't tell me shyt




I preferred Shooters, much cheaper and black owned.


When that Mchunu, Visionz and Bondaiacci shyt started popping up

nikkas in PG, District and Capital heights loved that shyt, I could never understand

I used to live around the original Madness shop that was on Georgia & Missouri. I was so pressed when I got my first Madness shirts.

All bout the personalize shirts


We used to fukk with DDTP hard in middle school

 

[Idaeo]

they had a lot of positive messages on their shyt but da*link*went was traaaaaash clothing

yeah that Da Link Went shyt would have long ass paragraphs on the back of hoodies and tee shirts.

And other nikkas around the country followed suit

Madness was an Uptown thing nikkas on the Southside didn't fukk wit it too much. We fukked wit DDTP tho especially when homeboy ran it out of his apartment on Anacostia Rd. You would've thought it was a crack house with nikkas running up in there all times of the day
