HUSTLIN’ WEIGHT.

It’s funny but sometimes, I see direct parallels with music based on whatever I’m working on at any stage of my life…this time, it’s the song by Jay-Z titled “Rap game/Crack game”. It was one of the songs on his album – In My Lifetime Vol. 1. On this song, he compares selling drugs to selling music…while you may not agree with the song itself, it’s incredible how he drew the comparisons. Pretty accurate if you ask me (and don’t worry about how I know this) and this goes to show that he’s definitely one of the greatest MC’s to have graced the microphone. So, I took the first verse of the song and changed a few words here and there to reflect our situation, and lo n behold, you have our version titled “Streetwear/Crack game”…not as catchy as “Rap game/Crack game” but it’ll work. I guess this is a case of life imitating art huh? I highlighted the parts I changed.

By the way, we in no way advocate selling drugs..it is a serious offense and we don’t ship Cookies -n- Cream products to jail so you’ll miss out on all the goodness we’ll be dropping.

We treat streetwear just like, handlin weight
What they want we give it to em, what they abandon we take
Hit a designer with a concept, let him know what’s at stake
Leave his ass in Adobe, let him cook up a take
When it’s hot, start to plan for the next phase
Much luv to Goliath, boutique spots is the gate
But first we scope shit, advertise in every area
Let the streets know hey, we got some dope shit
Goin’ need a middle man, so we look to all the blogs
Let ‘em see the product, give em a promo show
Just a breeze, not enough to catch a real vibe
Then we drop the collection and let ‘em choose a size
Ain’t tryin to kill ‘em at first , just building clientèle
So when the pieces drops the first weeks it’s on sale
But when demand grows it’s time to expand yo
You don’t want no garbage papi our joints is limited fo’ sho’

here’s a link to the original lyrics for those who may not be familiar with this work of art from Jay-Z.
