I remember reading an earlier thread on thecoli and I think the most dapped answer was Nas.

Are you black?

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

My dad had a shape up in his senior pictures in the 70s.

Of course. But by all means go ahead and kill your time by going through my post history.

I don't really here people call it a line up

That's not a shape up

I'm learning something today cuz in NYC this is a shape up

U come in looking like this

but u leave looking like this

In NYC a line up is this:

U come in looking like this..

and leave like this

In the dmv a shape up only involves your hairline what you call a line up is what we'd call a haircut I'd be pissed if I walked into a shop and asked for a shape up and this nikka started cutting my hair

OK so what ya'll call a shape up in DMV is a line up in NYC. I learned something today.

y'all nikkas way off. In 1878 clarence jackson returned home from a night out in the big apple disappointed he aint get no bytches. He started thinking of ways to stand out from other men and while thinking he was rubbing a knife used to cut up apples across his head. He was startled by the sound of a horse buggy overturning causing his hand to slip and create a crisp lineup.

Lmao bootass. "Lemme get a line up". FOH nikka let me get a shape up and keep it dark.

Different hoods refer to it differently some people call it a shape up, edge up, or line up. Stop trying to give definite definitions to something that depends on region.

 

[...and some waffle fries]

In my lifetime I aint never seen a nikka ask for a shape up and its understood that he wants a edge up. Thats gon spark some comedy.

Ive heard edge up more and line up some...

But usually, a shape up includes an edge/line up whereas a edge/lineup only usually doesnt include a shape up.




And I'd say the 80s too. Wonder who started it tho...

Big Daddy Kane was getting line ups and putting designs in his hair in 87. Even got slits in his eyebrows
