Nobody wannabe old no more. :mjtf:Nowadays, it’s the 50+ brehs wearing the everything off the Gucci, Louie, Prada etc. store mannequin looks. That shyt is tacky and needs to die too. nikkas spending racks to advertise for these gay eurocac brands. Being covered in purse logos like a walking canal st special don’t make you fly. And you never know when that shyt is fake or not because the reps be 1:1 for hella shyt. But I be seeing 50+ brehs wearing $10k+ Louis jackets with Purple jeans and Louis shoes hollering at random older women at the mall. :snoop::what:Ole Charlie Wilson there goes my baby ass nikkas. Straight 19 year old super senior fresh out of high school the world is finally mine energy. You know these old heads spent their pension money to look like Money Man too. :mjlol:

I think OG's dress like their own era. Like the Ving Rhames look is for brehs born in the 60's. Older brehs born in the 70's/80s will probably still dress like they did in their prime. Hoodies, fatigues, fitteds
The problem is that early 80’s style was more classic and timeless. The flat cap Kangols, the shearlings, the corduroys, the wallabee Clarks, the butter leathers. All high quality shyt. All that style from the old Jamel Shabazz photos was fire.

Judging by how Wayne and Juelz Santana look, it’s not looking good for the 80’s babies who never got the message that it’s not 2003 anymore and they ain’t 21 no more either.

When u hit 40 we gonna see a name change ? #At40WeCashOut
Nope. 10 years ago I was 26 and trying to find my way in life. I made a mental plan of what I wanted to get to but did not have the steps...so I made a hard timeline. At 30 I was going to cash out. 4 months after my birthday I went from serving food to old folks from 6:30am to 7pm to a cushy IT job that finally paid me enough to pay down my bills. From 12.40 an hour to 21 something. Now almost 6 years later I am working with my org to switch to a Sysadmin and trying to clock 90k cash but that 150k+ total compensation package. All this with no degree. By 40 I should be more concerned with how much I contribute to my 401k and where I am taking my girl than cashing out. This is the point in my life where I just need to keep pushing for new roles and challenges as well as maxing my pay increases. The chase to get out of retail and hospitality is long over unless something goes wrong in life.

The name stays cause I think every man goes through some shyt where their late 20s they are too old to play little kid games with their career but too young to throw in the towel on chasing progress. It personally means something that I called my shot and I hope others do too.

TLDR: I get paid by the word.
