Peep the newswire to see who is in hot water now with the Humane Society for using Asian raccoon dog fur. Roc-A-Wear and Sean John shit is so expensive I don’t see why they can’t use actual fur and call it such. I understand that the raccoon dog is pretty plentiful in parts of Asia but it is still a low grade skin. These two brands both have opulent and excessive figureheads promoting the clothing lines. The least that the manufacturers could do is let the garment construction meet the international player status of the respective icon shilling for it. Here’s a look at some of the faux fur(raccoon dog?) items from the Roc-A-Wear brand…
The truth behind all of this nonsense is that the same person that OWNS Roc-A-Fella OWNS Sean John, and SouthPole and a few other brands. JAY-Z and PUFF are used as well paid models to promote those garments. You aren’t one of those people (read: numbskulls) that actually thinks that JAY-Z bought all the factories required to produce a clothing line?!? You don’t think he spends his time reading the invoices, shipping manifests, fabric weight documents and all of the other shit that you have to maintain in order to produce clothing? You aren’t that stupid are you?
This is not an enterprise like making t-shirts in your basement with a silkscreen machine and that means it’s a full time job to keep the operation on point and in the black. No time for vacations in the Bahamas or San Tropez, and no time for the pursuits of rapping. Even when you’re rapping poorly. This is why I give respect to NaS. He didn’t allow his namesake to be put on someone elses clothes just so he could walk around acting like he owned something he didn’t. NaS keeps it realer than most and so do I. For all my jackets that have a fox or mink trim, I wear my fur with the faces attached so that they can see where it is we are going.
1. That picture of Jay is priceless. It totally explains why “Kingdome Come” came out the way it did. Channeling young Clyde Frazier in 2007 ain’t fresh, especially when you can’t grow the facial hair.
2. This is why I give respect to NaS. He didn’t allow his namesake to be put on someone elses clothes just so he could walk around acting like he owned something he didn’t. NaS keeps it realer than most and so do I. – Its funny that the youth of America vilify Nas for his “lack of business acumen” (sorry “he ain’t no hustla” for the crackbabies) but I admire the fact that Nas understands he’s an artist and its what he’s primarily concerned with.
3. Fuck the Dunks you’re purveying over on your previous entry, where can a Figaro Nigaro get that fox fur at my dude? My two beloved grandmothers have passed on along with my great aunties so scoring such accoutrement from their closet ain’t happening. Dallas, my born day is next Friday. Yodel at your canine…
^ 40Diesel,
real talk is that I have a red fox in my refrigerator right now just waiting to go on someone’s snorkel. Because it’s your born day I’ll do you like the Clipse and tell you that “I got it for cheap!”
what about Willie Esco?
Dallas Penn can you get a dead red fox by 2:00 clock this afternoon.. Don’t ask how. There are ways, dude.
Dallas continue to school the youth.
^^@40
like Pete mentioned and Jay Z so eloquently put it, Nas “Used to Fag model” in Willie Esco ads.
Not being a hustla for the crack babies…………………, I don’t know about that. Peep these memorable lines.
“Loose Cracks Produce Stacks,…. I cut small pieces to get my loot back Time is Illmatic, Keep Static like wool fabrics Pack a 4matic to crack your whole cabbage. 1993 Illmatic
“Look I used To Cook before I Had the Game Took, either way my Change Came like Sam Cooke. 2005 Late Registration
Classic. Great way to start the double 0 7 Dallas. What is funny, was reading the response to what went down from the peoples over at Rocawear saying they were unaware of what was being used. Yea, maybe Jay didn’t only because he was too busy watching Dreamgirls at the time, but them people knew what they were using. We all know that, Diddy did not throw a Chinchila jacket in the crowd at Jay’s “I Declare War” concert. Whoever has it, got them a nice furry Racoon Woof Woof.
Oh yeah, I am waiting for a pic of you with some gators with their heads in the front. Make it happen captain and bring a new meaning to bite them fuckers in the ass.
Big Homie (founder of Deaf Jam Records)
Nice. Although the Jay pic was taken waaaay back during his REASONABLE DOUBT days.
Yo D. YOU SLACKING MAYNE! WHERE THE FANTASY cRAPPERS TALLYS AT? I NEED ME MY POINTS WITH ALL THE JAY Z JIM JONES BEEF FROM LAST WEEK. Also, I know it’s early in the week but I want to trade Game for Uncle Murda!!!
Siskel and ebert says dallas Penn is “…Funny and Brilliant…” and gives it one swol camel toe
^^^Trust me hit up any hip-hop message board of note and the biggest knock these crackbabies use on Nasir is “he’s broke” which is foolish anyway you look at it. Yeah Nas may not be worth $300M like Jay or Puff and his overall value may not even be close to Percy Miller’s or Curtis “Urban Action Coon” Jackson’s. But in this current conundrum of cRap music where lyrics and artistry are so low on the “What makes a cRapper dope” criteria, for the youth Nas will never be in their top ten because he doesn’t have a label, a clothing line, or any other business ventures aka “hustles” (ahem money laundering schemes) that puts him in the Forbes top cRappers list. Yeah Nas has modeled for Willie Esco, Karl Kani, and Sean John, point being? If I understand correctly Dallas was saying that Nas has been more than comfy just being an employee/artist albeit it a well paid one. To clown him for that is like getting mad at LeBron because he “only endorses” Nike and doesn’t own it.
In regards to his lyrical quoteables… WELL THAT’S NEVER BEEN IN QUESTION!!!! –
“How you a man waitin’ on the next man to get rich?
You’re plan is to stick out your hand real quick?
Well if he’s taking care of you and serves you shit,
Then he deserves the head he’s getting he deserves your bitch…”
The Japanese word for raccoon dog is tanuki…meaning that Super Mario has been rocking those coars since 1991 with nary a word of backlash.
Yodel at your canine? LUVS IT!
I second the faux knock on Nas. That’s like saying Basquiat doesn’t own a paint company. It wasn’t about that. These cats need to stop mixing genres and look at some cats that really own things instead of trying to make a one-for-all out of people who rap. I been telling these young boys they need to get studios and make money of the psuedo-gangstas that wanna record their crimes. You’ll have a house before they get shot for the first time.
Racoon dog….is that like SQUIRREL RAT?
LOL Dallas you are a fool for this one.
Hustler’s don’t care what kinda racoon dogs is used for they fur, do they?
Nas has always been an artist’s artist. Never cared for outside hustles, just the music…
Diversity is a good thing, except if you don’t know what your doing it’s just a waste. Take the DIPSHITS, they copied every jack move Dame and Jay made when building the ROC dynasty. But they sucked at it and still look like broke ass Crack babies playin at being buseness men. The liquor is nasty, both labels (diplomats and purple city byrd gang) put out garbage, low quality product that barely sell enough to go wood…..not to mention all the other BS clothing companies that nobody wants….VOKAL, SNOOP, CLIPSE, need I go on? All these dudes do is recycle other designers lines and put ugly logos on them.
Maybe Nas is smarter than most because he didn’t fall victim to the BS, possibly understanding that being an artist is his gift, that other stuff is extra and may have been stretch for him in his early career. You gotta understand Nas never held a J in his life, not even hustling. He went from 0 to 60 in about half a sec., everything else to him was extra.
i wanna slap somebody about DPs fox. that shit made pee just a little bit, too funny. lemme get over that then i’ll come back and speak on jay looking like a paid amishman in that first pic. i’m not inspired.
good post DP. that fur on the rocafellayall clothes looks nasty as shit! lmao at the last sentence in your post and the dude talking about mario wearing racoon dog for more than a decade and never getting busted!
and lion xl, clipse doesn’t have a clothing line i don’t think, they usually just rock BAPE or BBC/Ice Cream, both of which they don’t own…
Hi, I want to subscribe for this web site to get most up-to-date updates, thus where can i do it please help.
my burnham freedom 120 is coming up with a ” E 29 ” error code, the book says that means the blower fan speed has not returned to zero rpm. an it says the causes could be a miswied fan speed harness or a defective fan. how can i test to see wich one it is? if i unplug the fan and plug it back in the boiler will work, temporarily until it errors again.
the boiler is less than a year old and is covered under warranty but the diagnostics and labor are not.
