Description
Sex:
Type of clothing:
When it was popular:
Description: One of the first "by black people, for black people" hip-hop clothing brands. Incredibly popular among suburban white teenagers in my high school (including myself.) We would "keep it real for the homiez" with the Karl Kanis (shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, boots). Also popular were brands like Cross Colours, Girbaud, JNCO, Timberland, and BOSS. Found at the Chess King and Merry-Go-Round stores in a mall near you. (1992-1995)

I remember Karl Kani, used to wear it myself. Although in Holland it was more of a late 90's thing.

they're only acting like that because they're making fun you. like the way you don't know how to speak proper english, or as you like to call it your "language".

Yoo, blacks couldn't even speak English. We taught ya'll how to speak it, dummy. Nice clothes, though, aha.

Clearly kitty you are racist and ignorant. Not all black people do not know how to speak proper English, and not all of the people who adopt the "language" as you put it are "making fun". In fact, it's been very well documented by non-blacks (which I have to assume you are as well)about the assimilation of things from the african american culture into the mainstream/prodminently white culture of this country. Using the terms, dances, etc. seriously, not as a joke. This started from the days of slavery and continues to this day. Read a book and educate yourself. In addition "you" (really your ancestors) have nothing to be proud of regarding what you claim to have "taught" the africans that came to this country. Again, read a book.

Most of the people here are so bloody rude, anyone who isnt lucky enough to be white should be called a "Coloured"

DDoubleo, what's the problem? White is a color, isn't it? Everyone is colored, one way or another. Can't we all just get along?
