According to Jim Jones, “Big was a fly dude to be that fat," he told MTV News. "If he was that big and telling us what to go wear, you knew he had a lot of splash to him. Back then, Coogi [sweaters] was like one of the finer things to buy. They were like 300, 400 [dollars] a pop. If you got the special-edition ones, they was running you like 600, 700 — you know, the [ones with the] fruity colors. It was just a thing you needed to have. So when you was running through [New York club] the Tunnel with that bottle of Cris in your hand and a Coogi on, girls is looking at you, like, 'That's a G right there. What's in the pockets?' Big definitely set the standard for splash and swagger when he was coming up."
And so it went.
If what you wear is a representation of how much money you have, then I’m tired of men and women in the club selling a fake dream.
You know that Louis V speedy runs about $5,000, so how did YOU get it when you live in the projects with your Mama, two kids, cousins and them?
What about the dude in the club rocking a Gucci hat, Fendi glasses and Prada shoes, but he is riding the train or passenger seating it with his homeboy?
Sigh . . . Either you do not have your priorities in order or the merchandise is fake, plain and simple.
Truth is the DIVA is not a real Diva and she spent so much money on her accessories that she CAN’T even buy her own drink therefore she needs the next dude to buy it which then in turn makes her NOT INDEPENDENT as the song goes.
The BALLER can’t call the shots or make it rain because between his Prada shoes and child support payments, his wad of SINGLES goes to the bottle of Grey Goose he has to share with his 5 homeboys.
I haven’t forgotten the ones who are really living the dream because in Nightlife they DO EXIST. Kudos to those that like dressing their best and have their situations together as in their own place, car, good job and the fact they wouldn’t be caught DEAD on Canal St but rather 5th Ave because they REALLY got it like that.
