Black Eyed Peas Feat. Gucci Mane & 50ct WTF!!!!!!

FASHION ICON: MARVIN GAYE

Even to date, the popular media recognizes the cool of Marvin Gaye. I mean the skullys, the denim suits, trench coats, and the nylon track jacket wit no shirt! Born April 2, 1939 in the Chocolate City (Wash.D.C.), Mr. Gaye was before his time fashion wise. Check the gear, he rockin shit that went outta style and came back as vintige. I mean was he aware that style is indefinite? Who knows. My hunch is that he didn't even pay that much attention to his personal style, he just played the cut. It's like he made an effortless move onto the scene then to the forefront of the game and eventually into legend status. Marvin made it look easy.

STRIP CLUB POLITICS II: VIA THA CORNER

Okay u Atl immigrants and newbies who aint up on game, its no secret that criminals get caught. So if you plan on comin down to tha sew up the trap or get ya guerilla pimpin on i must advise u to "pump ya brakes". When u get here, remember that money is tha ultimate motivator, where as in your town cats is out for respect or the lime light. This is a town owned and operated by Mankind's biggest vice...Atlanta's main resource.....the ladies. And the collateral damage that giving tha key to the city to the ladies causes is the over all attitude of "Fuck U Pay Me". so this may be old news to most of u, but just remember that cash is king and people here act like monkeys when they smell it on you. and u be suprised to find out that drones aren't that expensive. so step 1: get in with the women cuz on tha low they run this shit.

ROWDY clothing is CRAZY

i been sleeping on this brand for waaaay too long. i been seein the logo all in the media and i only notice a select few rockin it. Dallas Austin got stoopid swagga and he expresses tha hell out of it thru his gear. The store will be openin up @ Lenox Mall up in the BuckHead area in Atl,GA pretty soon i heard. go check www.therowdycollection.com ASAP. the gear is ridicolous. and you'll be rockin what the stars is in.

STRIP CLUB POLITICS: VIA THE SKRIP CLUB CAPITOL

Whattup fellas lets get into this. I know this blog is everywhere and i'm touchin a wide range of subjects, but it should be viewed as a GQ for the urban youth. But enuff for explanations. check game: I know a large percentage of ATL residents aint from here and don't really know the lay of the land. Let me tell you now, this is the metropolis. I know the ATL represents the land of oppt!, but just as much "legal" enterprise is fueling this machine, there is just as much if not more Dirty funds funneling thru and contributing to the Black Economy. I hear all tha time the visitors that were lured here to the Promised Land and are now regretting their decision. Don't Fret. Im gonna show you how to get it on in the A. Like my man Tony Montana says"This town is one big pussy waiting to get fucked" (Scarface)...soon i will post a series entitled "Strip Club Politcs" stay tuned

THINK BACK TO GO FORWARD: IMMA FUCKIN ROCKIN ROLLA

I make it my point to pay attention to the direction fashion is goin in. I see alot of clothes inspired by 80s, Punk, and Rock fashions. Im just postin this right here for yall to draw inspiration. I've seen vest, skinny jeans, mohawks, stoopid tatts, and yall know the print tees is crazy rock. Just pay attention to the cats in these pics and think back to go forward. Wit som of these fits u could rock right now and muuurder the scene.

SHOE GAME BY ALIFE

Yo here is some new flava. I first caught glimpse of these at WISH. im really diggin the simplicity. the price tag aint too crazy either. but they got poppin colors for their spring/summer collection thats sick. the only real appeal i see is their that they hella different. and fellas i know u wanna rock the Af1s, Polo Skippas, and other traditional shits. But, Trust the real head turner is that "otha shit", them joints that got cats askin "what the hell are those?"

Black Boy White Boy / TAKE OFF

ITS TEE TIME BITCHES

its bout to be 400 degrees in this bitch. which is perfect for us guys cuz we can go extra simple. tee and jeans, tee and shorts, tee and drawers, tee and bare-assed its all G. The only real money spent is for the shoe game when its hot. now the tee is not the holy grail of summer wear, we still got options, but it'll hold u down. i'll also be posting some other options for summer gear. geesh! u cant live ya whole life casual. whats most important is that u be reddy freddy (appropriate) for any and all occasions. and FYI the hottest tees on earth are in lil 5 points in atlanta

I dont know if its real or if jay is done with it yet but this could be a blueprint (no pun intended) for the tracklist All tracks are produced by Kayne with the exception of Eternal Jewels, Lucy, and Apostate. Guess with the lack of enthusiasm about Jockin Jay-z it will be left off, it will probably be a bonus track.

SWAG IN ACTIONpt2

my swag in action series is usually for the dude thats rockin flava ya dig. and i peruse thru atlpics.net weekly events searchin for the hella swag. but this week nothin impressed me besides this chick's fro-hawk. im not the authority on whats hot for the opposite sex, but this look seems bold and daring. the typical haircut would have made her the "average atl club chica ". tha city

is filled with dimes so ladies u gotta add tha stoopid to ya look.

THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORY VOL.II

Okay fellas at this point I hope u understand this "Accessory" thing. But allow me to warn you! You don't want to take it too far. If, for example, you choose some one as painstakingly beautiful as this one, the plan may back fire. Chicks seem to resent chicks that are too damn fine. So go down a couple notches to a strong 7 0r 8. Now ladies will be checkin her and then checkin you to see how & why this "trophy" is with U. So, in essence, she is a mean ass accessory, but those same girls will be so into her that u may fade into Obscurity. So, the best thing to do is go a lil above average. Next week i'll post the prototypical chica so u "get my drift". Till then....

P.S. and also don't hound or smother your Accessory, u wanna give the impression that this is normal for you. Like ur always in the company of Bad Azz Dimes. If u all under her skirt, you'll come off like an insecure idiot thats trickin off for this attention. Let her roam free and do her, just check in on occasion with a simple "waist touch" or "whisper an inside joke in her ear". So the patrons of whateva establishment ur in see that thats yo patna. and u will receive the thing that rivals money in its worth....... R E S P E C T. CHUUUUUUUUUCH!!! (thank me later)

CARGOS: Pimpin in THE URBAN JUNGLE

im a cargo addict just for the fact that i can hold my ipod, celly, wallet, keys, and hunting knife in one of the 20 pockets available. plus we all know the summer is when we can have everybody checkin our footwork! and then u flash the Supra's or the PF Flyers on'em and murder every scene. im rockin a pair right now sloungin in the crib.

THE ULTIMATE ACCESORY

Insider Trade Secret:
the ultimate accesory. You Got to get a Bad Chick on ya Arm ya dig. I mean u get a looker and it brings u more lookers. I aint create the science but the results is a proven fact. I dont care if the broad is ya cuzzin, get some out time wit her and go "ham". And its gettin hott, so u gotta get the summer league startin 5 drafted. This is just a trick of the trade. I feel this method is a better look than hittin tha streets stupid deep wit tha hard legs.

DRAKE: tHAT NEW sHIT!!!

Aubrey "Drake" Graham

Ok let me give u the skinny on the man Drake. My lil cuz put me on to em and i peeped his videos and music is gettin a milly plus hits on youtube!!! Well first he from Canada and he's an actor, singer, and rapper. I guess he was big in the acting game in Canada cuz he got stoopid fans out there. But as far as the states go, word is he signed Young Money thru the boy Lil Wayne. He got roots in the game too, his uncle was like the bass player for Prince. Now the kid working with errrbody from Bun B, Lloyd, Omarion and Lil Wayne, Drake just seems to take it all in stride. Look out for the mixtapes he got in the streets Come Back Season, Heart Break Drake, and So Far Gone!!! I fux wit him tha long way. His Shit Hot!!!!!

PF FLYERS are Delicious

should i even have to speak on these? This is next millenium shit. I mean i could suggest a fit but i was thinking goin buck naked and rockin theez with the tube socks. and where else besides clotheismycrack could you catch this much swag. FOR FREE!!!. Alot of retailers only hold the basic versions of the PF Flyers so you gotta go to the boutiques to gettem. lil 5 points, Sole on luckie street, and i don't know if wish gottem but u can check the atl retailers @ www.pfflyers.com

PIMP JUICE

Fellas if you don't buy a single fragrance this year, i heavily suggest you make room for this one. Its sex in a bottle, literally. It doesn't come off like a bold Issey Myake (i know thats a bad spelling) or Curve. This fragrance is more like a Dwayne Wade, you know, short on words but guaranteed 30 a night. Now fellas im not promising that you'll automatically score upon usage, but you definitely won't ride the bench.

The COOL Whip

The Challenger is the whip of all whips. It embodies the now with an appreciation of the muscle cars of the 60s. Now as oppose to restoring granny's old chevy nova, u can throw some shoes and some beat in to this and still be the mutha****** man. I've seen a couple color combinations and even some custom paint jobs. this car is ill

Pause for the Cause....NAS

Lyrics to Watch Dem Niggas :
[Nas]They never realized, how real Nas, is so decisive
It's just the likeness, of Isrealites mist, that made me write this A slight twist, of lime rhyme, be chasin down your prime time
Food for thought or rather mind wine
The Don Juan, features the freak shit, my thesison how we creep quick,
fuckin your wife that ain't so secret
It's mandatory - see that pussy, they hand it to me
I got no game, it's just some bitches understand my story
There ain't no drama that my niggaz never handle for me
My gator brand is Maurry, walkin through rough land before mewhere the snakes put a smile on they face, hopin and prayin I'm stuck
Scopin they lay in the cut, weighin my luck
Player haters play this in cell blocks and rock stages
Winkin at some females cops with cocked gauges
Really it's papers I'm addicted to, wasn't for rap then
I'll be stickin you
The mag inside the triple gooseFace down on the floors, the routine
Don't want hear nobody blow steam, just cream or it's a smoke screen
Imagine that - that's why I hardly kick the braggin raps
I zone, to each his own and this ghetto inhabitant

on occasion i'll drop some HIP HOP Quotables to showcase MCs i respect. Doesn't necessarily have to be signed artist cuz i fux with tha independents too! so if u got heat send it to elnegrorepublica@gmail.com. The nigga Nas so heavy on some livin legend shit. don't sleep.

this Section is Called "Swag IN Action"

Now check my man right here. Its no wonder the chicks is choosin. Cuz rockin flavor. Now the fit is extra loud but pay attention to the simplicity. This is how to rock. Its an easy alternative to just the shirt and jeans. The Shoes coulda been just af1s but cuz went the extra mile and copped the vintige joints and threw the Run DmC red laces in there. You see, cool don't take hella effort. And it promises at least s 5 chick entourage.

Linen is a Manadatory Move

I aint even gone comment on this item too much. The White Linen wit tha military pockets! Stooopid. I mean the day time action would consist of this on top of the premium khakis and when the night falls you could put this with some mean denim. this shirt alone would put ya swag on a trillion. word to yeezy. I caught this on the Banana Republic website goin for 70 a pop. Now you could go super cheap with the linen but i promise you it won't contour to ya body and fall like this one. i hate usin this word in relation to men's gear, but you gotta keep it sexy.

Call Me V-Neck Shawdy

Now only if u are dumb, deaf, and blind you haven't been payin attention to the emergence of the V-Neck. Its a by product of the denim culture thats in now. The v-neck is essential to accentuating ya denim. Aint no use in droppin 250 for the jeans and they not standin out like Flo-Rida's lame ass performance on Bet's Spring Bling. You gotta get the v-neck, preferably the Hanes brand or for yall that want a black one the Macy's Alfani brand is cool. Me and the homey's coined the term 'V-neck Shawdy'. I even gotta chest tatt to add to tha swag. I don't mind if yall bite that one. The ladies love it.
