Crazy these guys went from robbing department stores to being embraced by Ralph Lauren himself

Lo-Lifes deserves a Netflix series with actors and all that set in 80's and 90's NY

Thirstin Howl OG Checked me in cypher, true story.

I met him kicking it outside a venue 10 years ago, when I was still having fun with the rap thing. Everyone outside gave him the necessary tributes & salutes, then a cipher broke out. He was just chilling, listening.
I remember when it was my turn to go, I had a verse picked out in my head that I thought he would like. The only problem was, everybody paused after I finished the verse, and there was an awkward silence.
Eventually someone picked it up, then he turned to me and told me "You had it, you was supposed to go right back in". I respected it, cause he's from that cloth where you keep going until you get cut off. And an older head might let you go for like 5-6 rhymes straight, just to see where your skills are at.

So it wasn't a "G-Check", but more of an "OG Check". By 2007 ciphering was already a bit of a lost art, so I don't fault myself too much. But still it just shows how the emcees of today are so prone to having limited skillsets. I respect the business lessons being handed down from well do to guys like Jay & others. But we need the same thing on the artist side as well, because the bar is too low.

for like 10 years ive been asking for re-re's of peices that i had when i was a kid, or shyt that dropped when i was a kid that i could never get . now RL is finally doing it and I dont have the money or the time to cop
i dont think i could pull off any of the cold wave stuff at my age anymore but i saw next year they're revamping the whole Hi Tech collection. i still have a high tech coat from 95 in great condition that i still wear

people sleep on the new stuff though. every olympic, us open and wimbeldon collection has been worth getting something from

I remember wanting the jeans with the RL Flag label on the back so hard back in 99 when I was middle school. I hope they bring that back.

I agree.
the only stuff and direction I did not like was that whole fascination with denim run they got on. All that bullshyt was huff. I m hoping we get the real vintage polo sport jackets and the like back tho.

plus I still want an Olympic year tank top from the nineties.
along with the nasa inspired line stuff, too.
