i dont know what the heck up with my keyboard its trippin.. but i wont let that stop me from this litle debate war.. true neilvon hiphop comes from all over [They come from other parts of the hiphop elements (breakers, turntablist, etc.)]. ... but if so then they would be considered trend setters... right.. and but who gets the credit not them but the people who use their ideas and make it popular.. i know fablous and diddy, did not start the retro jurseys era, maybe Pharrell didnt start the buckles and nylon hats.. but they still got all the recognition.. so fact 1 if they didnt wear the the clothing would any of the style you see in all the magzines, t.v. etc.. would it be whats in.... probably not because they got the credit.. because of t.v. neil... also t.va great source of info.. it tells you whats in and whats not.. donna t.v. is mainstream.. almost everyone in the middle income bracket of america has at least 2 to 3 t.v's in the household.. thus t.v. informs viewers [you and me] what is going on in everything, fasion, news, music, trends, etc.. so to regular people t.v. is the a source, but a good one at that..
does anyone care about the underground dj's, and breakers... no... because none of them made it in the mainstream world.. so their style if they made it can be taken because they dont deal with the masses which t.v. gives to those that make the style popular....
but personally i love the mainstream style..
1 certain clothing is hard to obtain due to price..
not everyone can afford akademics, or avirex clothing.. but if SOMEONE DOES OBTAIN AND HAVE NICE GEAR THUS YOU IN A GROUP and we caLL that a bAlLER..
2. it does mean you spend this amount and get the ecko, phat farm, rocca wear, trippLE 5, etc.,. it doesnt mean anything if others dont think its hype.. you spend the doLLars so other beLIEVE the gear is for reaL..
3. UNLike other mainstream clOTHING onLY A FEW CROSS THE Line and are mainstream, whiLE KEEPING THEIR UNDERGROUND ROOTS.. YOU GET THAT then u are a genuine baLLer.. cause that expensive...
peopLE to dress reaL MAINSTREAM IS TO SPEND THE DOlLARS.. AND IF YOU CAN// YOU DO IT BECAUSE IT GIVES RECOGNITION FROM THE MASSES [MAINSTREAM] whiLE UNDERground onlYU GET RECOGNITION FROM THE PEOPle who vibe to it.. i rather have lOTS OF RECOGNITION FROM PEOPle then myseLF PERSONAlLY.. pLUS [i love the stylE\]. BUT THINK ABOUT\ IT..
THIS WORLd your judged on SO MUCH ON OUTSIDE APPEARENCE AND IF YOU AT mainstream baller stYle then your gUranted a good start..UNLike trying to make up a design and making it coOl AND CAlL IT UNDERGROUND.. WHICH IT IS NOT.. be reaL ITS TRIFT STORE.. OR NEIL stYle which one is it [question mark\] damn keyboard peace....
I TO DONT KNOW WHAT I SAID.. BUT AGAIN NEIlvon service.. ar-1 is the champion.. peace
