Back in 98 - 99 as a freshman in NYC, I was da same...DMX, Jay-Z were just out with their first BIG anthems (Ruff Ryders anthem and Hard Knock life) and Hip-hop was all about ghetto stylin in every detail. hahah Had to have my Timbs and ma hoodie all day. LOL I look at some of the photos from back then and I laugh at maself. I ain't no hood-rat and I defn didn't look like one, son. These days, am a lot sober. I stick to the Kanye/Pharrell style of GQing it up with hip-hop/undergound brand labels that have now gone mainstream (Bapes, BBC's, Evisu's, etc). Change defintiely is the only constant!!
