For the love of the FuZz: Young Dro

Now a lot of people might be scratching their heads on this one!!! Everybody loves to talk about T.I.'s swag!!! But the man who to me is the flyest out the PSC circle is Young Dro. Further more he's one of the most underrated dressers in the rap game!!!! Yes I know your gona say he's a hood dude tryin to dress like kanye. But feel me, all he represents is how a down south dude looked around 96-01. When I used to go down south all you would see, is dudes rockin tommy, polo, guess, nautica, claiborn, and a lot of the preppy brands. A few dudes used to look just like dro with the sweater vest, long sleeve button down, with cargo shorts and kicks!!!! But what I love about Dro is that he's not afraid to rock color. Especially with him being Dark skinned!!! OH my gosh!!!! All you hear from black people is Dark skinned people are to black to wear bright colors!!!! I don't want to hear nothin about skin tone when you talk about FuZz!!!! Black people will never allow you to grow as a person because of their hatred!!! Any how, my man Dro is a style Beast!!! Man remember the top back remix video where He stepped out with the the pink and white striped polo with the apple green Chino's!!!!! i know a lot of AKA soroety chicks were in love with the style when he broke out with that fit!!! His style is too raw!!! Any man who talks about wearin salamanda sandles got to be a mean dude!!! I mean my dude wears Linen two peice summer sets(or the club suit as weused to call it back in 02-03). And as this portion of For the Love of the FuZz, comes to an end, I gots to give it to Young Dro on baggin up Fantasia!!! She's a bad round the way sexy hood girl livin the hollywood life off the rawest female voice in the industry. Keep doin ya thing!!!! One FuZz!!!

Inspiration part 3

What can I say, inspiration comes in many different forms!!! FuZz!

Better work it!!!!

I know I pull out mad joints on celebrity females. But I got to highlight the badest females in the industry. And Lauri Ann Gibson is one of my top females!!!! Yes everybody knows her from diddy's makin the band!!!! The angry mad dictator dance instructor. I mean can you blame her!!?? She's very intense with her moves. Yo imagine this is the chick who taught 112 how to dance. A lot of people really don't know they were a group of non dancers. But look what happened, they weree goin hard in "it's over now" and "peaches and cream". She does her thing!

One of the reasons the city hates me!!!!!

Ain't no reason why I be buyin expensive chains!!!! I don't know, i've just been in the braggin mood as of late!!! Don't mind mme, its a phase. I just can't beleave I stll love em but they don't love me!!!!

H-Town Hearththrobs could not get rid of me!!!!!

O.k. o.k. That headline is not directed at anybody from Hamden in specific!!!! Or is it? LOL!! Well take it how you want to take it!!! Any way, Killin ya'll with the Yellow suit!!!! I don't do much!!!

Alicia I didn't know you had it in you!!! or on you!!!!

I've been a fan of Alicia Key's Style since her first album. I never really paid attention to it uyntil now!!! Her name isn't Alicia Keys anymore ya'll!!! It's Junk in the Trunk!!!! lol!

Essential item for every man this fall and winter: The trech Coat

The must have item for the fall and winter must be a trench coat!!! I don't care if its 3/4 length or full length, a man needs a trench coat. O.k. I can't sit here and say that!! I am a lover Full length trench coats. I love the way they flap in the wind when I walk with them open!!! LOL! However I do own a 3/4 legnth joint. Trust me, that bad boy gets work too!!! But the joy of a trench coat is they're great for dressing up or dressing down. Either way they bring elegance to you canvas(your outfit). Cashmere trench coats are a vital must in a man's life!!!!! I own a tan one and let me tell you, out of all my trench coats, its my favorite!!!! in those winter months the tan joint gets a lot of work!!!! Now appose to what the majority feel, i'm a fan of leather trench coats!!! A lot of people frown on them because of the gothic influx/treach coat mafia!!! Like I always say its how you wear an item which dictates it's meaning. A black full length leather trench coat does make a bold statement when on a man!!!! Thats why its necessary to have. Many men opted out for more richer fabrics and leave the cow hide alone!!! But leather is not just a thing for jackets. A leather trench coat is very chic and lavish looking. But no matter which one you choose, the trech will do nothing but enhance your look.

What A night!!!!!

O.K. it was Friday, major pissed that I bought Clipse tickets months in advance and the suckas ain't show!!!! Instead who did Toad's Place get to perform? Speak of the devil, Wu-tang Member Cappadonna. Hey he may be the low man on the Wu kingdom, but it beat doin nothin. So ya boy rolled solo down to Toads to see the joint!!! Yo no lie the joint was live. Ya FuZz took part in one of the most monumental Freestyle session in New Haven inside and outside of Toads. A lot of dudes got a wake up call. Cats ain't no I could get it in on the bars. To tell you the truth the flow session was the livest part of the concert. The joint emptied out while under card acts wee performing to checck the battle out!!!! On the real it was needed for Connecticut hip-hop in general!!! Everybody knows CT don't get no love, yad yada yada yada!!!Too bad I ain't get no video of the battle!!! Next time trust a brotha will have it!!! But I did get video of Cappadonna's performance!!! Homey be doin anything!!! But it was a cool night. I'm mad this sex dude olled up to me, talkin bout he was the Govenor of CT but for the night i held the title!!! LOL! I told im good look!!! LOL! But ome on fam!!! The Govenor!!!! With the Boss talk that I be doin, I don't want to be the Govenor!!!! lol!! that's all i'm gona say!!! Shout out to my dudes from T.C.O who performed that night.

For the Love of the FuZz: Ghostface and Raekwon

Like I said, everybody's favorite Fly dust heads!!!! I'll say the whole Wu-tang have had a monumental impact on hip-hop fashion. Keeping true to the hood, they had a knack for turning nothing into something. However, it was Raekwon and Ghost who took style to the limit. It was funny how they went from being gritty grimey hardcore thugs from Staton Island, to being fly and flashy. I guess thats what money does!!! To me even though Ghost and Rae were tight, I feel as far as the clothes went, they both were secretly in competition. Even though it was Ghost who did the skit on Rae's album only built for cuban linxs, where he had visions about dying Wallabbes. But at one point Rae was known as the Best Dressed member of Wu-tang. He masterd the art of hood casual but still kept it rugged and raw. I'll never forget in the triumph joint he hit em with the sweater vest game. He even hit em in 99 in the outkast joint with the fitted, a sweater vest, Sweatpants, and kicks. But i'm ahead of myself. Both Raekwn and Ghost showed the world their stylistic capability og Wu-tang hit "so simple then" and "Criminalogy" where they killed an abundance of Tommy Hilfiger and Polo!!! And thats what you got to love about 94, 95, and the 96 era. Hood dudes were making preppy brands gutter.Then by the time they brought Wu-Wear into the fold, you couldn't stop it!!! Now that I think about it, it was hard to say who had the harder style out of them both. Cause on the low Raekwon was in high demand a lot of these rappers albums. I remember he was on the track with tash from the liks rockin the sick Iceberg Sweater vest with a sick cartoon dog on it(no it wasn't pluto or snoppy!!!). Then lets not forget how he killed the game with the Iceberg Snoopy joint with the sweat pants with one pants leg hitched up in Fatjoe's John Blaze. To me the flyest video he ever did was "live from New York". Sick jean suits, Fendi Scarf with the matchin ski hat, Louis Vuitton jumper!!!! Then nobody knows this but Raeknown was the first to wear Aeropostal. He just couldn't pronounce it right lol! He rapped about it on Cappadonna album. Then freaked and Aerospostal long sleeve T-shirt in the Frozen video with slick rick. He had a grey and navy blue long sleeve joint with navy blue jean shorts and tan timbs with a navy bandanna on his head. There was nothin like it. But also in 99, Ghost was killin em in his neverr realeased Song "mighty healthy" where he Rocked the imfamouse Tide Jacket with Teal blue kicks and a Gold chain with the Jesus Peice. Then he he was stuntin hard with the Kangols and the Jamaican hats in the Bobby Digital joint in 99. But he went for the jugular vain in "Apollo Kids" where he rocked Lavish Bathrobs, Fur Coats, Coogi Sweaters, Timbs, a sick Iceberg Sweaters!!! It took everything that was hot around 2000 and multilpied it times a million. Then by the time Ghost dropped "Chere che la Ghostface" that nigga was straight showin off. He had the sick Red White and blue bathrob with the red Iceberg pink panther T, navy blue jeans and boots. Then killed em with an apple green fur and a apple green coogi sweater. Then theres the Jean suit with the studs and the Platinum Fubu Sweater that ain't come out til next year at the pool. Then Ghost had the sickest tan fur in the dark Room. But for real, any man who goes as hard as Gostface to kill the Wonder woman Gold eagle arm join, with the Versace dinner peice on his kneck is wild insane. Yo to be real when Ghost got those two joints made, he didn't even have to dress hard anymore. Theose joints spoke for themselves. But Ghost went hard with the Fur Coat game in the remix to Special Delivery!!! OOOOOOO MmmmmmmmmmmYYYYYYYYYYY GGOOOOSSSSSHHH!!!! He stepped out with the Pure white Mink joint to the floor and killed the joint. Yo he made diddy lookin like a small fry(even though diddy was killin the black leather suit tryin carry Ghost's chain!!!). I can go on for days about these two. But the livest photo of any of them is this one up top with Raekwon dipped down in Gucci. Its been 10 years since he took that pic for the source or xxl(I forgot which one, I used to have the mag). Its befor Kanye and Pharrell. Its straight Hood Luxery at its best. Its even befor straight men were rocking Luxery hand bags. Raekwon used to actually Rhyme about Gucci Mocks with no socks on. That photo to me said it. It was needed for the growth of hip-hop fashion. People can refute me all they want. But look where we are now. it paved the way for Kanye to Rock Gucci loafers. And he's a product of the Wu era. Can it be that it was all so simple then!!

Double Dragons Without Jimmy and Billy!!!

After the past two days of fighting with UPS, my Stacy Adams Palisades. I've tried my best to stay away from the whole poointed toe kick!! But these I can't front on, That whole dragaon design is mean on that black denim. But wait till you see what i've got coming in for me next week!!! I can't help it people i'm addicted!!!

$FrEsH-KiNg$ since 88!!!

My mother said, she realised at this point it was going to be trouble!!!

My Favorite Designers of all time: Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld,Karl Kani and Rev Milton Brown, Sr

When the average person thinks about fashion, we tend to look at the brand itself. If someone was to ask you, "whose your favorite designer,?" and your reply is Applebottom or G-Unit, you've straight up missed the boat!!!! The designer is the person who gives the brand or fashion house life!!! And at times if a person designs for more than one fashion house, you can see simularities. Like everybody's favorite over saturated clothing brand for all of you rock stars alike... Yes i'm talking about ED HARDY!!!! the designer behind that camp is Christian Audigier. The same person who propeled Motorcycle/Surfer brand Von Dutch, to its highest height. The funny part is there are a few people in the hood who look down there noses at Von dutch, for it being out of style!!! But are wearing the mess out of an Ed Hardy trucker!!!! LOL! Go figure!!Had that on my mind, just felt like letting it out!!! Any ay, on this entry I want to high light my favorite fashion Designers of all time!!!!

Tom Ford (the gentlemen with the tux and getting into the car with shades): To me Tom Ford is Gucci!!! Matter of fact when I think of Gucci, two things come to mind. Double GG print and Tom Ford!!!LOL! What I really like about Tom is he has that American Man quality about him!! He breaks the mold of the Men's designer steriotype, if you know what I mean? I was very shocked a few years ago when I foud out he would be retiring from Gucci to go into film making. But i knew it wasn't his true calling. About a year later homeboy broke out with his own line, Tom Ford Menswear!!! And I must say his line is a serious reflection of Mr. Ford. Were talking about 70's inspired shadess, well tailored Suits!!!! And my man's choich of advertisment is out of this world!!! What goes through that man's mind is Wild!! I can't even post the pics up here thats how crazy they are. All I can say is google Tom Ford and you'll see what I mean!!!

Karl Lagerfeld (white hair don't care): The man who has been the driving force behind Chanel for ages!!! Now i've never been a fan of Chanel like that, basicly because he's into designing woman's clothing. But his personal style has always intreaged me. This man's style is so FuZzY!!!! It's always flashy and flamboyant. He's always found a way to make the most subtle colors stand out. Plus the man always has a pairr of shades, which lets you this man means bussiness!! Then pair that with the white hair and a ony tail!!! Please!!! He's untouchable!!

Karl Kani: Yes I know, huge jump from Luxery Brands to Hip-Hop Fashion. But Karl Kani has helped revolutionize, hood fashion to the 8th degree. People love to argue who started the whole huge logo theme first. Some say its a battle between Kani, Hilfiger, and Ralph Lauren. They'll be debating that for years to come, however its a known fact that a lot of Tommy and Ralph's unknown designers, used to frequenly come into his stores to see what type of garments kani was producing. If we take it back to the Godeci days of jean shorts and Combat boots, we do see that a lot of people were wearing Kani Jeans that were embroderd with his staple autograph on the back pocket. My personal memory purchase of Kani was when my mom bought these Black Karl Kani kicks in the sixth grade that said Kani on the side!! remember this was in 96 so don't kill me!! LOL! Man everywhere I went people used to ask me where I copped them from. Cause dudes ain't know Kani made sneakers. A lot of stores didn't even carry them joints. But to me Kani was at its prime around 99-00. Dudes was killin the mess out of Karl Kani Jean suits!!!! He had snoop and nas modelin for him. He couldn't be stopped. His decline came at the hands of other brands tryin to make a name. Fubu, Willie Esco, Sean John, FJ560 ect. He tried to regain the thrown in 2003 when he came out with Kani Life. But people didn't buy into it like it was expected. To be Kani Life was a very serious brand. I had bought a couple pairs of Kani Life jeans my senior year. But, they just couldn't compete with the new crayz that swept the nation at the time... Throw Back Jerseys.

Rev Milton Brown Sr( the gentlemean in the yellow and plaid suit): yes I have to save the best for last. Yeah you can say I'm a little biased on this one, but for real wouldn't you be!!!??? I mean this is my father were talking about! He's one of those unknown talents that the world needs to know. This is a man who learned how to sew in the 60's as a parashoot rigger in the Navy!! From there he went into bussiness in New Haven, CT opening up stores that catter to the Afrocentric/black power movement. The thing about His designs, are strays away from the traditional men's suit. The design spits in the face of conventional menswear. While were at it, it also gives you the finger!!!! Over the years the design has ben perfected restyled, with the help of the person who writes this blog. Its been brought to so many wild levels in the last 10 years. But before that, in 1978 Rev Milton Brown helped put together garments for what was dubbed the second best dressed wedding by the New Haven Register. He has also put together many outfits for a Dance instructor from Harlem who will remain nameless!!! With one of our garments, it forces you to step away from the things you know. By the time you come to him, you have to say I'm tired of looking like everybody else!!! I'm ready for a change. Which forces you to have to come out your comfort zone and become revolutionary!! Which is hard, because everybody can't do that. People love to think they're ready but at the end of the day they're not!!! But thank God For the Brilliance of Rev Brown!!!!

MY THIRD FAVORITE TOP MODEL GIRL!!!!

My three favorite top model girls have to be Jade,thick tocarra, and this beauty Eva Pigford!!! Man There are no words to describe this brown suger bombshell!!! Number one thing that makes Eva sexy are her eyes!!! In this case her eyes do more talking than anything. I mean the way she lowers them so seductivly just invites you to come over!! She most definetly deserved to win the show!!

Are we real COOL!????!!!

Its funny when you look at Pop Culture, we are always drawn to what's hip or what's cool. Specially for us as men. Woman struggle with images of what's sexy. But men struggle with images of whats cool. I mean hopefully if we try to act cool, we can attract a woman who is the opitomy of what women are striving to be. But back to being cool. Remember that poem, We real cool by Gwendolyn Brooks? There is so much truth behind that it. "We real cool. We Left school. We Lurk late. We Strike straight. We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon. Yeah its very simple but its real. I mean all over the world the image of what cool comes in many different faces and forms. But what amazes me is the majority of the images
that express what cool are negative. Its like how the bible says, what profits a man to gain the world but loses his soul. Look at what makes whats supposed to make us as men cool!!!! Drug use, Alchol Consumption, Cigeretts, over the counter medicine abuse and ect. Not so appealing when reading it. But if its a picture of the great Italian Menswear Store owner Lino Luluzzi Sparking a cancer stick on the Sartorialist Blog page, we call if fashionable. If its Lil Wayne walking around with a white cup like he's at bbq, its hot!!! Or better yet if Jay-z tells everyone to stop drinking Crystal, we drink Dom and Ace of Spade now, its considerd another trend he set!!! I mean this nothing new to us. Back in the 50's cool was the likes of Motorcycle hog James Dean. In a white T-Shirt and jeans he spoke to the youth of that generation. But what made him cool? He was a huge smoker!!! And through out the years living on the edge is whats in. Even though women say different, what woman is really attracted to a clean cut gentleman? He's probably the best for her, however, the female is searching for someone full of life and excitement. Not someone who plays it safe. So she marries the life of the party. Never noticing the life of the party always has a bottle of Henny in his hand. Soon she wants a divorces,the life of the party!!! Why you ask?!! Because he's an abusive drunkard who has kids all over town. Now that's cool!!!!! I mean how long are we going to go, until we smoke and drink ourselves to death? How many bags of weed we got to smoke til we get the point? How many more Huston rappers have to die at the hands of Syrup overdoes!!?? The new face of sippin on sizzurp is Lil Wayne!! But, what I'd hate to hear everyones favorite rapper ends up like Pimp C. Everyone was shocked when he told the world he was hooked on lean. That just shows me a lot of people didn't know what he was refering to in his songs? I like my Sprite Easter Pink!! Look at the videos!! If you tally up all the videos and pics of hiim with a cup in his hand, you have to say to yourself thats a lot of promethazine to be consuming. But to defend his usage he says if he stopped he would go into withdrawl!!! Which can be worst than actually staying on it. So now if you look at it, theres only one way to go if he's never to stop. Hopefully it doesn't kill him. But he's never gona quit drinking it. So its like he's signed his own death certificate and he's willing to accept it. But its wild the Hottest Rapper(I'm still not a wayne fan, he's not the best rapper!!!!) in the game is addicted to the concoction. A lot of people look up to wayne!!! I ain't tryna hop on this role model junk cause everybody has a vice to kick. But his drug use has been sensationalized by the people and the media. Which will hype e stans(Eminem thank you) even more to try to use. I mean and it's not just Wayne. For years Snoop has been the spokes person for smokin that sticky!!!! Which hyped everybody to Smoke weed even more. Back around 93-97 Wu-tang were the flyest Dust heads out!!! Its wild, people can create these live above the influence commercials, but to toast the success of the it you pull out that bottle of vintage 79 Merlot!!! Wow a huge statis symbal!! Just pray to God the producer isn't an acholalic!!! So we're celbrating saying no, another no!!! I guess the poem was right, the cool do die soon!!!

Whined Up!!!!!

Yo i've been wanting to blog on Kat Deluna for a long time. Everybody's always on these mainstream spanish starlets and most of all we've been JLO'D to DEATH!!!!!!! But Kat has a different type of beauty that you don't see in most of these exotic spanish chicks! yo im a come out and say it, she looks like she straight out of FAIR HAVEN!!!! Everybody from New Haven knows what i'm talkin about!!! She looks like she was gettin it in at Salsa Night at the Van Dome!!! LOL!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY MOM AND DAD!!!!!!

O.k. Saturday was my Mom and Dad's Anniversary!!!! yeah ya'll they celebrating 30 years of being together. So me and my Pookie decided to take them out. Yo we had fun laughin and joking. Looking at my parents and seeing how no matter what they've been through, they've managed to stay together. Even though we live in a society where love is looked at a fairy tale, its good to know love still lives. Not for nothin, i'm mad my dad has the wild GAS FACE!!!!! LOL!!! But we had a great time at dinner. In a couple yers me and Pookie will be celebrating 30 years. In December it will be 2 years that we've been together. It doesn't even seem that it's been that long. Oh and i'm tellin ya'll right now RICE PUDDING IS NASTY AS EVER!!!! lol!! Oh and pookie wants to tell you birds, her shoes are FLYER THAN YOURS!!!!!!!! Heavy Hittaz!!!! Suckazzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A knew mind!!!

In this entry I want to be up front with you guys!!! On this blog you get to take a look into not only what being FuZzY is all about, but what really goes on in my head. My views on things and on life. Yes I do get preachy up here!! And guess what?? I DON'T CARE!!!!! Yes we know i'm Fly, Yes we know I dress different!!! But through everything I do, people tend to lose sight or maybe even miss the whole concept of this FuZz lifestyle. It's more than dashiki suits, hats, gold chains, flashy shoes and ect!!!!Its about feeling great on the inside as well as the outside. yes we hear this so many times on makeover shows, but what happens after that party they throw you to celebrate your transformation is over!!!! Stacy and Clinton can only get you so far!!! What happens when the stresses of life start to weigh you down, when the cameras disperse? I mean do you really feel great? There has to be something that keeps us stable through the times when life is hard to bear!! And thats the love of Jesus Christ!!!! To be plain and simple, thats what the basis of this whole FuZzY entity. Its uplifting people, showing them what God can do for them. Its about having faith that the power of God will bring you out of anything!!! We don't even have to take this from a religious stand point, cause a lot of people can't handle that!!! But lets look at it from just the idea of being a better indiviual!!!! I hear people always saying, there are no positive role models in the black community!!! We've gone through the stage where the richest person in the neighborhood was a drug dealer. I'm here to prove that statement wrong!!!! Meaning everything on my back, every stitch, I earned honestly!!! I didn't have to kill anybody or string anybody out to do so!!!!! And others can do the same!! You just have to see your way through your situation. But people have to want to change and most of all, have faith on the change!!! People are so scared of themselves its not even funny!!! People are afraid of what they see in the mirror!!! Thats why I use the statment 'FREAKS COME OUT IN THE DAYTIME". cause a true freak is what they are 24/7. They're not waiting for dusk to turn into a wolf and wreck havoc on the city!!! They wreck havoc on the city when they see fit!!!! And this is what its all about, feelin comfortable about who you are as a person. I mean lets take it to a style stand point!!!! It's easy to follow a trend!!! Its comfortable knowing that theres somebody down the street that looks like me and dresses like me!!! I might not be laughed at as much if I dress like homey over here!!! But it takes balls to step away from conformaty and break the mold!!! I've been doin it all my life!! To the point where when I did conform for five mins, I felt more like a clown. The day I walked into Hillhouse high school(my freshman year) with Navy blue Sean John Jeans on, with the Tommy Hilfiger T-shit and Jordans; I felt the most like a poser!!! Because I was stepping out of my element to be accepted!!! And let me tell you, its not even in the clothes!!! Its in the miind set. The inside, the feeling, the mind, dictates your outside!!! I still wear Tommy, I still wear Sean John. But Tommy and Sean John have a new meaning when i'm wearing them on my body!!! Man is living in an enslaved mentality!!! We let the bright lights, the glit, the glamour and fame poison our eyes!!! I can talk about it, because i've tended to the feilds full of light bulbs, where the shine dwell!!!! I've been sucked into the neon signs and the lights. But, everytime, god whispers in my ear to bring me back to reality!!! Yes I brag, yes I boast about being the BEST DRESSED MAN ON THE PLANET or the $FrEsH-KiNg$, WETHER ANYBODY LIKES IT OR NOT!!! Nothing against any other gentleman who dresses, who has style, or whose into fashion, but God has allowed me the chance to be this way!!!! At a point where I saw no hope in myself, no hope in my future, never thought I would amount to anything; God stepped in and made away for me!!!! That title ain't about self!!! It's about showing people where god can take your life!!!!! It's like that R-Kelly and Nas joint they did back in 99, "did you ever think you'd be this rich, did you ever think that you would have these hits?" R-Kelly's verse was so real!! "I used to think about, how I was going to make it, Strugglin day to day, just tryna get this paper, hopin, the day would, come, when things would go my way, and now i'm livin lavish!!" Thats real, my only thing is he never said, who made the dream possable!!! And that was Jesus!!! Yes ladies and gentlemen I am one of the most materialistic people you will ever know!!! However, I know that material possesions can be gone in the blink of an eye. Statis, can be gone in the wave of a hand!!! Popularity can fade the next second, but the love of God will never die!!!! There is nothing wrong with havingnice things!!! You just have to know who allowed you to do it!!! I'm sorry to say, there are some people who aren't meant to hae power or statis. Because they will straight up abuse it!!!! I mean cats out here don't even want to wait they're turn to be the man!! Thats why theres so much hate!!! Cause instead of people waiting their turn to wear the crown, they want to kill the king to wear the crown!!! It doesn't go like that!!!! I mean to get this far, I had to watch and wait!!! In my younger, real younger days, I had to sit back and watch the dudes who were on top go hard!! I learned the do's and the don'ts from them. So when it became my time to shine I would know how to minover. But people don't want to study any more. People want it now!!! Without work, without sacrifice, and that just doesn't happen!!! Well I got to go, but i'll be back with part 2. It's too much on my mind to keep locked inside of me!!!!

Classy Lady!!!

Now thats the type of first lady i'm talkin about!!! To sexy!!!!

For the Love of the FuZz: Mr. Willie Brown (no relation)

Class, elegance, suave, old school, all words that come to mind when * hear the name Willie Brown. This Gentlemen is known as the ex-mayor of San Fransisco. But, he's more well known for his dressing ability. This gentlemen is known to have over 100 suits and over 300 pairs of shoes!!! This is the way a mayor should dress(take that Destefano!!!). And number one, he is a hat man!!!!! In my family we've always said, a man isn't dressed until he has a hat!! Most corperate or conservative men go wrong, is the majority their suits are a bit bland. The suit itself may cost an arm and a leg. But the fabric that its made out of can be rather dull. I mean check out the way Mr. Brown does conservative. Window paign plaid joint, browns, navy's!! But the way he puts it together makes it have gumption. His posture breeds confidence!!! Thats the type of individual you want leading you. This is why he's had multiple wins at the primary!!! I'll agree with the statement he made when he urged people who were seeking public office to hire an image consultant. In this day and age image is everything!!! What you say, do, and look can make you or break you in any walk of life.

Tommy Hil ice rockin brotha!!!!!

Yeah ya boy is love with the sweater vests!! This my new latest joint!! Straight Tommy Hilfiger argyle joint!!!Peeped this today and a brotha had to have it!!! Had to 85' certified!!!!! lol!!! It take a real N!gG@ to rock Tommy Hilfiger. I'm bringin Tommy back!!!!

Relax and take notes!!!!!

O.k. normally I don't do Urban brands unless its Sean John or Ecko. However, while in N.C. this Enyce shirt did catch my eye. I was really diggin the design. So ya boy had to have it!!!!

My dad wearin my Ralph Lauren Hawiian POLO!!!!

O.k. back from North Carolina, had to post this pic of my dad!!!! my dad think he FuZz right now!!! lol! I'm mad he told me, he wants to chill and post up!!!!

This was wild to watch, Mtv true life, i'm a compulsive shopper!!!

You I saw this episode of MTV true life on Sunday and it was very interesting. This weeks subject was on two girls who were compulsive shoppers. Meet Gabby(brown). haired chick with the shades) and Ali (the blonde with the uggs). Both of these girls live for shopping. I mean everywhere High end botiques such as Saks 5th to malls to low price shoe outlets. The problem that these girls faced was going in debt with their shopping habbits. To me Gabby had a problem, but she was just a shopping to be shopping. However, Ali was more like meth user with shopping. Every bit of money she made or found was put towards shopping for clothes. And she would be the one with the sickest style. It was so bad that she had to seek professional help from a psycologist. Now i'm cool with accessive shopping. Like Jay-Z said, "i've been rich, i've been poor, i've saved and blown bread." My problem with it, is when you have problems paying your bills and your rent. I mean you can't live large and having the repo man coming for your things. People would love to see that. So you do have to know your limits. I can say that because I have a shopping addiction, I must say i'm three notches away from being like these girls. The only difference is my pride won't allow me to go off the deep end with it. Cause number one I have an image to uphold. Not just with the clothes. Just in general!!! And i'm telling you, shopping is my drug!!! Having my boys order those Stacy Adams shoes, buying that latest Fred Perry Bag, finding new fabric for a suit, then getting that ill hat!!! OH, my god its sending chills up my spine right now!!! But, people would love to see me down and out because I can't fend for myself. I know its hard be we just got to set limits!!!!I mean look at the outcome of Ali's life. Finally the Rent-A-Center came and repossesed her firnature. Her wigs were on the floor, her place looked like a bull and ox made love all over he place!!! The show was kind of a wake up call. It connected with Ali deeper because it proved she had self esteem issues!!! Like they say the man makes the clothes. not the other way around!!!!

In other news, MILT-FRESH FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

Next on the list of o.g. joints!!!!

Ask me do I care about white after labor day!!!

THE BATTLE OF THE LEGS RAGES ON!!!!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHO SHOULD WIN THIS ONE!!!!!! WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE!!!!!!

She can take my energy!!!

She can take it to me in the ring any day!!!!

Unleashing your A.C.E!!!!

O.k. the gentlemen you see is non other than Frank Kelly out of Florida!!! What's so special about him? Well he's the Esquire Magazine's Best Dressed Real Man in America for 2007. What I like about Frank's look is its well put together. The Tailoring on his suits are impecable. He can go anywhere!!! I mean from the office he can go straight to a dinner at a classy dining establishment and be presentable. What this gentlemen is also doing is showing the world how to be more assertive and leave lasting impressions on people. Which helps when your going for job interview and board meetings. Since winning the sartorial challenge, he's used his program, Unleshing your A.C.E to propel less forunate individuls into greatness. He's gone to numerous Colleges and homeless shelters speaking on the importance of lasting impressions. And not only lasting impressions, but positive impressions. I had the chance to check his program out on Youtube and I must say I love approach. With him you would think he's uptight and stuck up, because he's got on a fine cut Zegna suit and Ferragamo shoes, but he's really a down to earth dude. That man can breakdance like no other!! LOL! I mean check him out on Youtube!! At first it looks like the white guy showing he can relate to our culture. But when you look at the whole entire picture, its what he's trying to break us away from. And that I can respect. Besides the dude is a mean dancer!!!! lol! Plus i dig his style. He's one of my favorite conservative dressers. He's in now way what his appearence perceives him to be. However, he does take style very seriously. In which it should because people do need to understand the power ones appearance does have. In one segment on his page(www.frankkelly.net) he takes a two men shopping for a job interview. Even I must say there is a right and wrong way to dress for one. However, many just don't know how. Mr. Kelly proves to be a humanitarian. He's used his five mins of fame to inspire others to live better lives.

MORE TOYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not talking!!!

Style Break Down: Hood Fashion Featuring Shiest Bub from Purple City

On this blog I'm starting a new segment called style breakdown. This is where I breakdown different looks and styles, and peice together what they mean to pop culture. Today I'll be focusing on Hood fashion. Hood fashion as I would call it, is very fun to observe. For one, it's what got me into liking fashion all together. I mean as a kid I grew up watching my favorite rappers( wu-tang, biggie, nas). Their style was so incredible. It was what they were saying, plus what they were wearing. Like biggie in "hypnotized" killing a versce silk shirt and Allen Iversons!!! I mean thats what hood fashion is all about. The idea that I come from nothing, never had nothing, but don't mess around and let me get my money right!!!! I'm gonna buy a pair of Gucci shades, get my kneck blinged out and rock it with oversized jeans and a white T. I love the thought and the idea behind it.The thing with Hood fashion is the majority really don't care about being in the loop of coutur fashion. Every dude in the hood may not be up on Paris Fashion Week. But talk about coppin Gucci kicks for the club, you'll see every hand raised. But, how many with their hands up can tell me about the accomplishments of Tom Ford? Well anyway,this brings me to the subject of this segment. Shiest Bub the Emperor from the Dip-set affiliated crew Purple city. Now being associated with Dip-Set there is a level of fly you have to uphold, or MAYBE NOT!!!! LOL! But for Shiest Bub, he's known for wearing fly junk. What people don't know is, he started wearing the color purple to represent... Well i'm not going there. lol!! But he gave Cam'ron the idea to wear Pink. Shiest bub was wearin custum purple fur coats, Purple Mauri Gator kicks, Purple basketball jersey's. So as we look at him now, he's got the jean suit (which just made their way back)and a printed shirt underneth. However what brings this into a more fashionable look, is the paten leather Pradas and the Louis vuitton shades. I have nothing bad to say about shiest on this one. For one his Prada's are Authentic, so he dropped the $500 on them. The LV's are hot, he didn't do the still hot but over killed LV Millionares that every rapper and their mother( Kanye, pharrell, Jay-z) are wearing. Which is a plus!! I'm just mad he cut off the easy-e joint he had!! I would have never went bald!!! LOL! He look like my dude Bacardi!!!LOL!!

LOVE IS DEFINETLY IN THE AIR!!!

Ya FuZz maybe late on this, if so chalk it up to me being consumed into mysellf, but I didn't know Angela was dating Terry Kennedy from Pharrll Williams Skateteam!! O.K. still don't remember who he is? He's Compton A$^ Terry who used to be on MTV's hit show about skateboarding and mutilation Jack@$$(what I don't curse!!)!!! They kept that junk under raps good. I wouldn't have known anything about it if I hadn't of went up on Terry's myspace page. I saved him as a friend back in 06 when I first got up on myspace(who didn't?!! lol!)and I never checked it out again. But I couldn't beleve it. Yo Angela ia toooo freakin sexy!! I'm kind of mad!!! LOL! But, from what I see on his page he's seriously in love with her. And thats whats missing in today's time. It's time out for all that playa junk!!! I ain't gona even get started with that. I've been there done that!! Oh and another thing Terry's style is mean!!!I hope they last.

What a fiasco!!!!

I've been meaning to do a post on this for a while, but I have never found time!! Well through some wild chance(I know I shouldn't say that!!) Lupe Fiasco has been named as one of the men on Esquires Best Dressed List!! He will follow in the Foot steps of Hip-hop's alumni to grace the list such as Andre 3000, Pharrell Williams, and Jay-Z. Its funny when you really look at Lupe's style. Nothing wrong with it, because he sports some ill FuZz!! However, the guys who are on that list are known for sporting a suit at one point or another!!What probably pushed him into sartorial greatness is the "paris tokyo video". Homeboy was killing them with the long over coat, grey suit, with the scarf. Then not to mention that light yellow suit was rather delightful!!! I guess by the time he pulled out the Goyard trunk reference with the matching Goyard carrying cases, it was a done deal for them. Then there is the "superstar" video!!! Whoever style that joint did an ill job. But most of the time Lupe is in Japanese denim and converses, with an ill streetwear shirt or a hoody! Some would argue he's reminiscent of Pharrell befor Bape or BBC. I would agree with that statement. Another statement that gets me, "the reason I get fly is Ibn Jasper!!!!" Half the people don't even know who Ibn Jasper is!! He's Kanye West traveling Barber/sort of stylist/friend who shops with kanye. He's the reason why dudes are rocking designs in there haircuts again. Yes Ibn gets it in on the style tip, but they both get down together because they are skaters and their natives of Chicago.( that was information that had nothing to do with this, I just felt like showing off my knowledge). But i'll give it to Lupe, my man made the list. Its hard to make Esquire's list. This year the majority of guys who made it are rather ecentric. So much so until they were outcasts from last years list. You have a better chance making it on Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed list. They have a lot of ecentric dressers in those pages. So for Lupe to make it on Esquire's says something. But, there is one thing though. The fashion world is in love with streetwear at the moment. Fitted graphic t's that nobody has ever heard of, like HORMONE(that's no a real brand) and tight skinny jeans or japanese denim jeans called Hiku or something, with Nike SB dunks. I mean its a skater look that black people have started to buy into. I hate to say it like this, but white people love it when black kids dress like this. Guys like pharrell and Lupe have bridged the gap between the hood,skater culture, streetwear, and high end couture. They make it popular for these kids to do what they do. So in that notion, I raise my glass to Mr. Fiasco!!!

My rockin timbs chick snd the Gucci loafer girl!!!!

Now everybody is gona look at me strange when I say this, but I had the biggest crush on Foxy Brown, the ill na na since the sixth grade!!!! The ill na na album was rather raw! Def Jam put a lot of money into Fox Boggie back in the day. Everytime you turned around she had a video out. That joint she did with Jay-z back in the day "how nasty"(screw what ya'll say, jay been rockin suits, he just more professional now in his approach, compared to back then), then she did the joint I call "you can catch me at the bar ya'll"( I forgot the name of it LOL!!) then there was the classic sensual remake "got to get you home with me tonight" with Black Street. Oh then there was thhe joint she did with total in 97 "I can't rock with you no more" (had her brother young gavin in a jean suit and stockin cap killin the dance, pretty boy!!!). To this day Fox is my favorite female rapper of all time. Her lyrical ability is far greater than half these broads. i don't want to hear about Jay ghost writtin for fox!! Fox got bars!!!! When Lil Kim came at her on the Mob deep remix to quiet storm and then on Rap city the basement, everybody hought fox was done!!! But the most revolutionary track in beef history, has to be the joint on Capone and noreaga's reunion album "bang bang"!!! I mean, when I first heard it on the DJ clue mixtape I couldn't beleave it, she just straight pulled kim's card!!! I mean that track was befor Ether, takeover, any other beef track you can think of!! But to tell you the truth Fox is my girl, but she be makin some wild descisions!!! like her love life has always been jacked up!!!! She was about to marry kurrupt from the dogg pound, but he dropped her because she was supposedly sleeping with DMX!!! Which caused the biggest beef between 99-2000. A lot of dudes never paid attention to it but that joint DMX did back in the day where he he goes "DMX, what ya'll really want"(once again forgot the name of it!!! LOL! i'm slippin), is directed at kurupt and mobb deep(mobb deep always in somethin, prodigy will never shut up!!!). Then years later she was datin other dudes in the indusry. More recently since her going def, she had been datin male model Tyson Beckford (his stank attitude!!!)!!!
Now as recent as two weeks ago she was datin Rick Ross(please tell me you wasn't a cop for real!!!). Now it looks like Mr ross has dropped her for flavor of love star Bucky or whatever her name is!!! Then lets not forget her wild temper, assaultin a hair store clerk!!! Come on Fox boggie, you too sexy to be buggin like that!!! What I do like about Foxy is no matter what she keeps it hood. Some would say she's copying Lil Kim's style with tryin to be a hood fashion diva who be holdin weight in BK!! Well to me I beleave Foxy befor I beleave Lil Kim. Kim is made for pop culture. Kim is what I call a victum of circumstance!!! What I mean is Kim was born in Brooklyn, but brooklyn really isn't for her. Where Foxy to me is BK all day regardless if she's wear Gucci, Fendi, Dior, Hermes, or whatever!!! And both was of life are great. You have one whose popularity surpasses everything of the old neighborhood. Then the other is defined by the old neighborhood. The only problem with number two is, for foxy, that old hood mentality winds her in more trouble do to her BK attitude. Fox is my baby though!!! Her style is too sick!!!! purse game and heel game is out of this world!!!
