Bangin' Album of 94

Let's go back in time.... back to 1994 

Remember how fly you were in a Polo bear sweater, Guess jeans and Tims but what I remember the most was much great hip-hop was being released at the time. One of my favorite albums back in 1994 was Gang Starr's Hard To Earn . Hard To Earn was Gang Starr's  was there fourth album and arguably there best album thanks to Dj. Premier's conduction of this symphony. The featured many hits like DWYCK, Code Of The Streets and Mass Appeal. So if you don't have this great album pick it up now and listen to a piece of 94.

Lesson 3........ Building A Lo Mansion

Now that we learned history and to be innovative, here is are next lesson

Building A Lo Mansion...

Here is where it all starts.. your closet aka Lo mansion. Buy and collecting the illest Lo you can get your hands on and rock out. There is a lot of competition out there so you got to be fresh, now what I mean by fresh is stunt on everybody at all times. Don't just buy vintage Lo or new Lo mix and match your pieces to show some diversity in your mansion. Not only buy clothing items but collect things of value like Polo bears, Lo towels, hats etc. this beefs up your collection. Last but not lease pick outfits that rep your swag... don't and I MEAN DON'T steal other people steeze that's not original and real Lo heads or Lo Lifes will call you out on it. Remember real recognize real... just because you wear Polo don't make you a Lo head. So become a construction worker and build mansion.

A Message of HOPE....

Here is something I love.... 

Artist getting involved with causes they feel are important. One artist took to the streets and showed his support for Presidential candidate Obama by putting his talents to work. David Choe decided to print up his painting of Mr. Obama and post them up around the city and spread the message of hope.

Lesson 2........ INNOVATIVE

LESSON 2: INNOVATION

It's cool in all to spend large amounts of cash to buy vintage Lo from Ebay, friends or vintage gear shops to fit in to this culture but there's no innovation in that. Now I'm not knockin' kats for buying the vintage gear but you got to make your own mark in the culture. 

Examples..... 

1) Rock OUT... by this I mean go all out try something that nobody would try (red Lo pants with odd color shirt).

2) Get out and put in work.... Get know for your Lo collection... rock your Lo every where and I mean EVERY WHERE thats how you get put on the map

3) Last but not lease... Put your own swag on the items you buy.. bitin' the Lo Lifes or anybody else steez will get you nowhere but blown down because you got to put you into Lo you wear. 

So it doesn't matter if you got old school or new school Lo as long as you be you.

Lesson 1..... HISTORY

Some people are new to this Lo culture and don't have knowledge of the history behind it at all. So that's why every few day (or weeks) I will drop a few jewelz to keep you sharp as your Lo game begins to grow.  

Well Lo Heads here is your lesson for today........

The Lo Lifes: Back in the mid 1980's there where two well known Polo clikks, the one crew was Ralphie Kids (Ralph Lauren's Kids) that came out of Crown Heights, the other group came out off Brownsville and there name was The Polo U.S.A crew (United Shoplifters Association). Both crews were known for there innovations in urban fashion by putting there swag on brands that where look upon at the time as preppy or too expensive. So in 1988 the two crews joined together and became the Lo Lifes (the boostin' Voltron). The Lo Lifes became notorious for tactical shoplifting prowling across the Manhattan shopping district. 20 years later the Lo Lifes are known to most as the founders of the Lo head culture.
