Post Fashion Week, join us to discuss everything - EVERYTHING! - we've found dope, tight, hot, cool, and swaggy? in hip-hop fashion.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:00 PM

Oh, hi

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:01 PM

Hi Eric! I'd ask how you're doing, but I assume you're fine since you're in the same room as me and we've already covered that at some point today. So, let's just get into today's topic: Hip Hop & Fashion: The Silent Killer.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:01 PM

Why don't we cut to the chase: yes, that was us sitting behind Cam'Ron at the Mark McNairy show

Eric Rosenthal · 5:02 PM

And yes, he was wearing a brown button down shirt and horsebit loafers, according to GQ

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:03 PM

I'm not sure what horsebit loafers are, to be honest. Then again, I'm not sure what we were all doing at a fashion show, either.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:04 PM

obviously, we've known Cam for a while, going back to when we shot a sketch with him in like 2009

Eric Rosenthal · 5:04 PM

and it's always good to see him, cause he'll greet us by saying, "SOUTH HARLEM!"

Eric Rosenthal · 5:04 PM

“Horse bit is a charming way to describe shoes with holes in them”

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:04 PM

Oh.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:06 PM

Well, speaking as a fashion professional: I'd like to open up by asking what's been on my mind for the past year or so.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:06 PM

What is up with Versace and why?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:07 PM

Here's what was on my mind

Eric Rosenthal · 5:08 PM

As a Consultant who's worked in both the music industries and the fashion industries, I'm excited about this "Tawk"!

Eric Rosenthal · 5:08 PM

Candace, we're human clothes racks

Eric Rosenthal · 5:08 PM

racks on racks on racks

Eric Rosenthal · 5:09 PM

re: Versace, we've never been invited to their shows, and we're here to raise a stink about it today

Eric Rosenthal · 5:10 PM

remember when Drake spun records at the Versace party a few years ago and A$AP Rocky showed up and presented Drake with a bottle?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:10 PM

and the next thing you know, they're on tour and songs together?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:10 PM

we have not had that moment

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:11 PM

There's still time, no? Like, is Fashion Week over? (And not like "over" like the New York Times is saying, because that's vvv obvious.)

Eric Rosenthal · 5:11 PM

can we declare Hood By Air over?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:11 PM

I just declared it

Eric Rosenthal · 5:11 PM

and it is so.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:11 PM

You did it! Hooray. I'm really tired of this "hip hop goth" look.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:12 PM

I like Travis $cott a lot as a person and as an artist, but man, that HBA or Been Trill stuff really is the worst

Eric Rosenthal · 5:12 PM

#Been #Trill

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:13 PM

Thank you for correcting your typographical/desigual errors.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:13 PM

See, I don't mind people like Travis or Rocky or any of the Sad Boyz wearing those clothes

Eric Rosenthal · 5:13 PM

Why

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:13 PM

What bothers me is when Jay Z is wearing them.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:14 PM

★ Spotlighted from Jordan Birnbaum

“Would you rather create a great hip hop song or a great hip hop look?”

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:14 PM

Like, why is Jay wearing an overlong shirt with NEW RULES written across the bottom in Latin?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:14 PM

Doesn't that feel really forced?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:14 PM

Aren't you like, Jay, it's okay to dress like an adult as opposed to what's cool -- you've gotten this far, etc?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:14 PM

I don't like any of them wearing it

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:15 PM

Well, sure.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:15 PM

In regards to Jordan's question, I'd rather create a great hip-hop song

Eric Rosenthal · 5:15 PM

because the look is always gonna be secondary

Eric Rosenthal · 5:15 PM

NO OFFENSE, DESIGNERS

Eric Rosenthal · 5:16 PM

like, Kendrick dresses plainly

Eric Rosenthal · 5:16 PM

wears his hat humorously high on his head

Eric Rosenthal · 5:16 PM

but it's simple

Eric Rosenthal · 5:16 PM

oh!

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:16 PM

But he's a rapper-first kind of guy. When you look at people like Trinidad Jame-shift-4...he made a great song but fashion is the motive.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:16 PM

lemme just add, LEATHER IS OVER

Eric Rosenthal · 5:16 PM

LEATHER #BEEN #OVER

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:17 PM

Didn't something happen at the VMAs that made you say that?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:17 PM

Was Macklemore wearing leather?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:17 PM

maybe

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:17 PM

Did Miley Cyrus finger leather?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:17 PM

it's happened at the BET Awards, the VMAs, and at the shows we went to this weekend

Eric Rosenthal · 5:18 PM

I'm really curious as to how this cycle of clothing got to be smaller, for instance, how did grunge come back so quickly?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:18 PM

Yea. I just don't know anyone who wears the leather look well. Well, besides Eddie Murphy.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:18 PM

like, wearing flannel around your waists wasn't cool when I was doing it in middle school

Eric Rosenthal · 5:18 PM

See: Cudi

Eric Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

See: Kanye

Eric Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

etc

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

It wasn't? I feel like it wasn't cool when *I* was wearing it in middle school.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

Jeff, it wasn't

Eric Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

sorry

Eric Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

sorry to break it to you here, with all these people reading

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

Oh wait, that was a typo. I didn't wear it, I just meant I was there.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:19 PM

right

“But you didn't wear leather pants with that look.”

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:20 PM

First they came for the flannel wearers, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't wearing flannel.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:21 PM

So, can we revisit this high fashion/high art infatuation? I think, with MCHG, Jay tried to speak to this entire point by saying that hiphop has ALWAYS been kindred with the art scene. But one got left behind in the gutter. So, this isn't "new"

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:22 PM

I'm really bummed out by the high fashion/high art thing, because no one's convincing me that there's any knowledge behind it. Like, Jay/Swizz/whoever else all name-check the two artists they understand (Basquiat and Warhol). And they name-check

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:22 PM

To death.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:22 PM

And I'm sure it's the same thing with fashion (see: Versace).

Eric Rosenthal · 5:22 PM

I will say this about the art scene connection, I loved that Jay had Fab 5 Freddy in the video

Eric Rosenthal · 5:23 PM

paying tribute

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:23 PM

Yeah, but it's like Basquiat and Versace and Fab 5 Freddy are all the new Cîroc.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:23 PM

That's my problem with rap at the moment: everything is a commodity.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:23 PM

Everyone should be their own brand

Eric Rosenthal · 5:23 PM

or at least not co-opt it from someone else

Eric Rosenthal · 5:23 PM

Kanye does him.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:23 PM

2 Chainz does him.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:24 PM

Well, Kanye does him by taking elements from everyone else.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:24 PM

"Good artists whatever and great artists steal"

Eric Rosenthal · 5:24 PM

I could do without the people trying to be A$APs when they're not

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:24 PM

I sort-of wish I was an A$AP, but that's another thing.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:25 PM

I think we're not too far away from everyone having their own line and repping it all the time

Eric Rosenthal · 5:25 PM

like, it used to be a joke

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:25 PM

See, I feel like that was the 90s.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:25 PM

And - sure enough - it's coming back.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:25 PM

in terms of every rapper had their own clothing line, liquor, etc

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:25 PM

When Busta had Bushi; Wu Tang had Wu Wear; Diddy had Sean John

Eric Rosenthal · 5:25 PM

yeah, I understand

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:26 PM

Right, I totally agree. I just think that now the marketplace has flattened out to a place where those kind of brands are sustainable.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:26 PM

Nelly didn't wear Apple Bottoms though

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:26 PM

Their business model was all messed up. He was making sales by swiping cards through girls' butts.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:26 PM

this is true

Eric Rosenthal · 5:26 PM

Nelly was WAY ahead of Square

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:26 PM

Ha!

Eric Rosenthal · 5:27 PM

There's a difference between style and fashion. We can't always be cynical about its place in hip-hop and the buying power of both audiences. Run DMC/Adidas/MSG 1986, anyone?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:27 PM

Dammit, Candace, stop making good points!

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:28 PM

I think the problem lies in the fear everyone has of being an individual.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:28 PM

that's right, Jeff

Eric Rosenthal · 5:28 PM

BE YOURSELF, YOU SHEEP

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:28 PM

Where it's necessary to glom yourself onto Versace, because Versace is the proven brand (not yourself).

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:29 PM

★ Spotlighted from Jordan Birnbaum

“Did you see diddy at burning man? He's bringing back the glove.”

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:29 PM

Like, this is weird to me.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:29 PM

Why is Diddy at Burning Man?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:29 PM

wait wait wait

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:29 PM

Sorry.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:29 PM

this is about #NYFW

Eric Rosenthal · 5:29 PM

Diddy-Burning Man can be another Tawk

Eric Rosenthal · 5:30 PM

but Diddy sitting on a runway is another

Eric Rosenthal · 5:30 PM

lemme ask you this, Jeff

Eric Rosenthal · 5:30 PM

Yesterday, I walked into that McNairy show, ready to wear my sunglasses indoors for the whole event

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:30 PM

Right.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:30 PM

then you pointed out to me that everyone else had taken their sunglasses off

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:30 PM

Two days ago, but yes.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:31 PM

right

Eric Rosenthal · 5:31 PM

and then I succumbed to peer pressure and took the sunglasses off

Eric Rosenthal · 5:31 PM

am I not an individual

Eric Rosenthal · 5:31 PM

and if I was an individual in wearing them inside, was I just a stupid-looking individual?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:32 PM

I need help with this, 48 hours after the fact

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:32 PM

But that's because you know how stupid people look when they wear sunglasses indoors.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:32 PM

Are you okay?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:33 PM

I need sunglasses to hide my fashion tears

Eric Rosenthal · 5:33 PM

Warby Parker! sunglasses

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:33 PM

Man, we were just getting somewhere and then you had to ruin everything with that weird tangent.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:33 PM

how so

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:34 PM

I think we were talking about how rappers latch themselves to brands to up their own stocks

Eric Rosenthal · 5:34 PM

★ Spotlighted from Tom Lorenzo

“Jimmy Goldstein: fashion icon or fashion novelty?”

Eric Rosenthal · 5:35 PM

Tom: he's a fashion icon, but not even in the same league as Walt Clyde Frazier

Eric Rosenthal · 5:35 PM

Eric, you could've worn your sunglasses to a gallery opening

Eric Rosenthal · 5:35 PM

Candace: I should have just gone with it

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:35 PM

Okay, say Trinidad Jame-shift-4 starts dressing like A$AP Rocky.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

yeah

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

Because everyone else - B.o.B., Big Sean - already is.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

that would be terrible

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

But is it any better than what he's currently wearing?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

Trinidad?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

yes it is

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

Which is, I dunno, a Jimi Hendrix costume that he bought from Ricky's.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

Trinidad should do him!

Eric Rosenthal · 5:36 PM

sort-of, Jeff

Eric Rosenthal · 5:37 PM

no one else is flattening their hair like he is

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:37 PM

Andre?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:37 PM

He's still around?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:37 PM

Old Snoop? (As opposed to OLD Snoop?)

Eric Rosenthal · 5:37 PM

Eric Rosenthal · 5:38 PM

Here's the thing

Eric Rosenthal · 5:38 PM

At the Isaora show, we were standing on line

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:38 PM

NO BIG DEAL

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:38 PM

STARS: JUST LIKE US

Eric Rosenthal · 5:39 PM

and some guy there had leather pants, a black leather Miami Heat Just Don hat (I thought it was fake, but it was real), and a red flannel shirt tied around his waist

Eric Rosenthal · 5:39 PM

and a long tee

Eric Rosenthal · 5:39 PM

WHAT IS HE GOING FOR

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:39 PM

See, that's the problem with 'style' as opposed to 'fashion', I guess, which is what Candace was saying.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:39 PM

HYPEBEAST HAS GONE TOO FAR, etc.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:39 PM

is that fahionable?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:40 PM

we weren't fashionable, right?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:40 PM

I have no idea. I think it shows that you care too much. All I know is: I love it when it rains on hypebeasts.

“It's not anything. Just a bunch of things all together.”

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:40 PM

I love love love seeing a pair of Red Yeezys ruined by a dirty puddle.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:41 PM

shoes are not meant to be worn, Jeff

Eric Rosenthal · 5:41 PM

we performed down at Bonnaroo 2012, and that there is a huge farm with nothing but dust blwing all around

Eric Rosenthal · 5:41 PM

and what'd we do after the last day?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:42 PM

with our adidas Stan Smiths??

Eric Rosenthal · 5:42 PM

DUMPED THEM IN THE TRASH, BEFORE WE EVEN MADE IT TO THE AIRPORT

Eric Rosenthal · 5:42 PM

Burner shoes

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:42 PM

I lost a good pair of Nike Terminator Hi's to that garbage can.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:42 PM

true

Eric Rosenthal · 5:43 PM

I mean, we say the same thing about the Tory Burch flats. It's all a trend that people use to tout their tax bracket or level of cool

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:43 PM

CC: Nike CC: adidas

Eric Rosenthal · 5:43 PM

Candace: And Tory Burch was dating Lyor Cohen, last I knew

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:43 PM

I'm surprised we got through the recession without rappers turning their backs on brand names.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:43 PM

CONSPIRACY?!

Eric Rosenthal · 5:43 PM

that's a good point Jeff

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:44 PM

And now - QUICK FASHION POINT - the runways are showing that Alexander Wang and others are bringing back the big logos of the 90s.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:44 PM

Hip-Hop has become so mainstream and valuable that brands will give and give and give so that the kids will attribute "cool" to them

Eric Rosenthal · 5:45 PM

Wake me up with Ricky Hil is wearing Tommy Hil again

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:45 PM

I want Ricky Hil to wear his father's skin like a jacket.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:45 PM

that's strange

So, forget it.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:46 PM

Nathan: wearing money is The-Dream

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:46 PM

Like, "I like my rappers to embrace 'non-commercial' values" or whatever. Kill me.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:47 PM

I don't care if they wear Versace, just make it their own

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:47 PM

I don't care if they wear Versace, just don't show up wearing the same Versace to the red carpet.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:47 PM

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:47 PM

DJ Drama, J Cole and the other guy

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:47 PM

The Other Guy would be a good rapper name.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:47 PM

TRU

Eric Rosenthal · 5:48 PM

think about how much 2 Chainz did for Try Religion

Eric Rosenthal · 5:48 PM

he knows how much he did for them

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:48 PM

Right, he resurrected that brand.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:48 PM

Tru

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:48 PM

He and Chief Keef.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:48 PM

Hooray for that!

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:48 PM

(I'm surprised how much I know about what rappers wear.)

Eric Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

yeah

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

(Maybe I should go to therapy?)

Eric Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

Imagine if Rocawear as we all knew and loved it, had a big runway show?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

like in today's NYFW

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

Oh, that'd be amazing.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

it'd be epic

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

Who would walk for them?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

with Dame and Jay

Eric Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

besides us?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

Bleek

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:49 PM

BESIDES US

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

Rihanna

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

I bet Jay Electronica would do the closing look.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

Kanye

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

Cole

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

Cole wouldn't.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

Come on.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

why not?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

he sure would

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

I bet he'd want to, but I bet they wouldn't want him to.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

they absolutely would

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

J. Cole is not a model.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

is Pusha?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:50 PM

come on

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:51 PM

No, but Pusha at least has some (LOLOLOL) "swag"

Eric Rosenthal · 5:51 PM

Cole knows how to walk in one direction and then back

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:51 PM

Yes. That's a good way to describe his music, to me.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:51 PM

"Capable."

Eric Rosenthal · 5:51 PM

and don;t kid yourself about Pusha's swag right now

Eric Rosenthal · 5:52 PM

he's a great guy and can rap better than 99% of the guys out here, but hot he is not

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:52 PM

That's true.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:52 PM

and this comes the day before his listening party

Eric Rosenthal · 5:52 PM

which, might I add, I'm looking forward to

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:52 PM

Yes. But that's also because we're in the dead zone before Drake's album drops.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:52 PM

it's interesting to me how he's tried to cross over into that Paris world

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:52 PM

And because it's something to do.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

Pusha

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

but he wants to remain "dangerous"

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

Yea, but that's Kanye's influence.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

and of the streets

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

right

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

And as we all know, Kanye is not infallible.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

but it's hard to do both

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

and be accepted by both

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

The man made Ryan Leslie rap.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

thankfully, we did not see Ryan Leslie at any shows

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

that man takes himself WAY too seriously

Eric Rosenthal · 5:53 PM

Black Mozart

Eric Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

his self-proclaimed title

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

Ugh. It's fashionable to have a huge ego.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

great producer

Eric Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

good singer

Eric Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

bad rapper

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

the worst.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

not-great dresser

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

What rapper would you like to have their own clothing line?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

not Wayne

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

Who doesn't currently, I mean.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

right

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:54 PM

Well, yea. Wayne's should be taken away from him.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:55 PM

And given to a 12-year-old.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:55 PM

Because that'd be a real FUBU aesthetic

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:55 PM

for 12-year-old Kohl's shoppers, by a 12-year-old Kohl's shopper

Eric Rosenthal · 5:56 PM

I keep thinking of all the rappers who do have lines and most make me shudder

Eric Rosenthal · 5:56 PM

remember Eminem's line?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:56 PM

Jim Jones' Vampire Life

Eric Rosenthal · 5:56 PM

Busta has Bushi

Eric Rosenthal · 5:56 PM

Juelz had a bandana line

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:56 PM

G-Unit had good shoes but terrrrible clothes.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

and a store uptown

Eric Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

TI has Akoo

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

But I mean, the mid-2000s were also just bad for clothing anyway.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

Snoop had Snoop Dogg Clothing

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

I'm just thinking about all the trucker hats and wide-legged jeans.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

Birdman's various Lugz

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

and J. Lo glasses.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:57 PM

Fat Joe had Lugz.

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

Funk Flex had Lugz.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

doesn't Luda have a line?

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

Probably. "The Chris Bridges Collection."

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

Wale has a headwear line

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

Is that true?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

I'd like to see Ross' clothing

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

honestly

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

What would it look like?

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

huge, unbuttoned

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

floral, I imagine

Eric Rosenthal · 5:58 PM

lots of money signs

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:59 PM

He does love #art.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:59 PM

and all made of fake fabrics

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:59 PM

So it'd look like a Pen & Pixel cover.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:59 PM

ha ha ha

Eric Rosenthal · 5:59 PM

this was fun

Jeff Rosenthal · 5:59 PM

I'd probably like that. I wouldn't wear it, but I'd like it.

Eric Rosenthal · 5:59 PM

Eric Rosenthal · 6:00 PM

It's not anything. Just a bunch of things all together.

@candace i agree with you but what about when the fashions they're choosing suggest a LOWER tax bracket? there was some talk of that with miley, i'm reading a lot about how she's trying so hard to look "ghetto".

No good point. It's crazy that A$AP came up in the recession, and didn't even notice.

I'm watching Ye on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon performing in a leather rap skirt. There's a difference between performance outfits and go to the store outfits. At least in other genres.
