Freedom!!!

Why are all our favorite rappers getting locked up? What cracks me up is how sometimes I don't know until a shirt such as these pop up somewhere:





This second shirt was created by a really dope artist by the name of Demont Peekaso. He's based in the DMV area, but you may have seen him doing live art while on tour with Raheem DeVaughn (one of my favorite artists. Ever. Don't know why? Check out one of his shows!). If you want to learn more about this talented guy, check him out at www.demontpeekaso.com or on MySpace. He does customized clothing as well!

RSVP

Anyone who's ever been to an event where you have to RSVP knows the drama and shenanigans which surround doing so. Sometimes you get rejected right off the bat...sometimes the list is closed by the time you find out about a dope event (bummer.) - but the worst is when you go to the spot to find out that the people at the door completely forego the list and let in whoever they want to let in. This is where "it's who you know" comes into play, and woe to you if you don't know anyone or don't know someone who knows someone...

Anyway, this shirt sums up our lives as RSVP'ers quite perfectly:



Thanks Lynette!

Dilla

Found most of these at J Dilla's Tribute Show @ Southpaw earlier this year...

My Nuts

No, it's not just a song by Homeboy Sandman (who I'll be posting about soon). I love Snoop Dogg. Something about him...his luxurious locks? Maybe. His swag (for lack of a better word)? Probably. But he's dope. Plain and simple. Remember his first album? Classic.



No doubt the maker of this shirt was inspired by some of Snoop's lyrics:

+ & plus & and...

Started seeing these shirts popping up around town:







BTW, ?uestlove always has a way of popping up with a shirt that addresses current events with a speed I can't fathom! You'll see him 'round these parts every now and then, so stay tuned!

@&*%$#!

Ya'll have some potty mouth tees, if I might say so myself!!! Check these out:















BTW, I DO love Raye 6! She's the lovely lady on the right - but she's more than just a pretty face...her live show is one that you're sure to enjoy! Check her out on MySpace: www.myspace.com/rayesheen

Let's Get Political

Following on the heels of the last tee in my last post... with exactly 2 weeks away from Election Day, let's look at some of the tees I've seen around that show people's political side:
















And my personal favorite:



Next post will explore other potty mouth shockers such as this one...Stay tuned!

Black

I've come across several tees that make mention of the word "black":






And my personal favorite:



I wonder if the latter constitutes as the type of clothing that would be considered as campaigning on Election Day? Remember folks: No pins, shirts, etc. making mention of any of the candidates are allowed at the polling locations - you WILL be TURNED AWAY!!!

It's Been a Long Time...
