To keep it a buck...who had fresher style than 80's d'boys?

[86\*/98]

You always knew who the d boys were becuz they always had the flyest cars with the best systems. You were the shyt if you had Benz or even an Acura back then. Summer of 88 they'd ride up and down my street all day blasting It Takes Two or Groove Me


Me and my boys would always claim which cars were ours

I've heard nikkas on rap songs, and in person, down south, up north, and out west go on and on about 1988.

Money must have been chasing people instead of the other way around back then.

The 80s was when nikkas starting getting shape ups

Theo came on TV in 1984 like

But when the show ended in 92

80s barber skills were

Late 80's, Black was so much more BLACK, if you know what i mean. nikkas still had SOUL. We still were A PEOPLE. Now, we just some folks.

Love how you say 88. I ask my brother all the time whats the fascination 88 and he screamed at me. Thats when crack became a felony lil nikka. I laugh because im a 88 baby something about that number man.

That's prolly the first year I fully remember. Turned 7

Got the Nintendo

My big sister and cousins bumping all that LL, Eric B and Rakim, Slick Rick, EPMD, and Big Daddy Kane


A few stand up adults from around the way started to look and act a little different tho

Notice they weren't doing the overly baggy sh1t like in the 90's? My pops told me that dudes that wore baggy clothes got clowned.

it's cause baggy clothes happened cause of low level damn near homeless dudes getting their clothes from places like salvation army and it was better to get them too big than too small.

rap music and videos made that shyt popular.

In LA they would push the lowered Nissan truck with the ski rack on top...or the Sentra with the Epsilon rims and the gold flakes in the paint

Dapper Dan was on
Shirt Kings was on
Lo-Lifes was on

Fila putting out their best designs.
Gucci making the move towards athletic wear and making the iconic 1984 low and high top.

So many fly waves at 1 time, a fukked up time.

To keep it all the way real...back then it was
1.Fila
2.Polo
3.Adidas
4. Puma
5. and dead last...Nike
