The ‘Lo-End Theory is more than simply a bunch of fanboys swapping and selling their vintage gear. It’s an honest celebration of everything that is Hip-Hop. The aspiration through apparel. The underground artists who bring flair and flavor to the scene. The lifestyle of living life lavishly in your own way.
Thirstin’ Howl 3rd opens this video with a montage of 40 Deuce flicks. The Deuce was NYC’s ave for hardbody stunting. Not just NYC but the tri-state area. If you wanted to be seen on the scene in the 1980’s you had to come on the Deuce. I wouldn’t come alone if I were you tho’ because the wolfpacks are mossied up looking for meat.
Shit is too real. Chicago should have a similar history, but we’d only be able to talk gangs and shit.
A lot of these flicks were also included in the 2 part Stress Magazine history of the Lo Lifes AKA Ralphie’s Kids in issues #11 & #16. I used to have both issues but ironically they were boosted from my collection 10 years ago. *Cues up “Stole” from “Skillionaire”*

Big Vic Lo must have had one of the greatest wardrobes of all time…. 20 years plus, always dipped. Our mates racked our share of clothes as kids but how those dudes rolled was fuckin ridiculous.
That was phat. Old school spelling and pun intended.

I love when I see that the dudes that were there never forgot where they came from…I remember being 15 years old out on 42nd and walking around the Village and seeing Stadiums, SNowBeaches and Cold Waves..it was definitely a sight that will always be embedded in my memory. Big up to Chance aka Sun Lo keep your head up..NJ ALL DAY…
