When I was a child I rode around with my cousins great uncle Johnny Starks, a relative of Former NBA player John Starks, all summer long in the 90s selling produce, I would knock on the doors, tell the people what we were selling. Now it's 2023 and I'm riding around making deliveries in a legal way. I really understand what he's saying.

[@frankwright9774]

[@marquisdadon]

[@magnumxlpi]

Selling overpriced hype to people who can't afford it is giving back to the community?

[@Mingaoisfcb]

RIP Michael K. Williams ❣️

[@L_E_L_0_U_P]

Hearing the word booster like its a trade or a degree or something is hilarious.

Why all these entertainers getting deals , but the asap with Gucci after what they did a couple years ago is wild

[@dezske197]

All he selling is reps😂

[@CassCream]

Haha do you think same design and same material doesn't equal the same product? One of the more problematic scams in capitalism.

[@ChefZaddy]

I Hate Vice, so Much! Still pedaling Mike post mortem better be paying Fam!

[@regg217]

Is that international P of the fight klub fame.

[@ryanm4319]

Cool so dude got arrested as a child with his rat mom, learned absolutely nothing, and is doing more trash with his own life. Nothing learned, no one gained, trash beget trash. A hood legacy, crime handing over crime. Charge the parents, keep charging the parents of these kids.

[@MiddleManT0m]

[@AliBaba-kr5sm]

Its funny how real millionaire and billionaire dont care about these brands and paying over priced clothes that was made for only 5$ but only the black young broke kids spend money on that...what a world we live in 😂😂😂😂😂

[@gee7840]

Fight Klub

[@earlduckspencevsterencechi8835]

Seems counterfeit products

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

It appears so

[@Duke_James]

Funny thing to consider yourself anything bigger than a biomass and even funnier to call it culture. Yo people forgot them roots, the origin.

[@djjlc]

I can’t believe these big brands are falling for this grift. Also why I don’t wear them lol 😂 who wants to look like that Muppet or any of the rest of the Muppets cast lol 😂

[@Moneyy9]

You just lack taste. Like Kanye said “your taste level ain’t even up to my waist level”

[@relltalk4549]

I mean not condoning however you put a lion in the jungle with no food. This will come about. However Blacks and hip hop culture made labels. A thing. So You can thank us regardless.

[@beard_belichick4216]

bunch of knock off stuff smh

[@EVHORIA4EVER]

jesus, dominican ……. nuff said.

[@user-qt7ku6ks6h]

Who the fook is this guy??

[@apemancommeth8087]

Promoting the theft and resale of goods is disgusting, but this is what is happening across Democrat run cities! Where violent criminals don’t even spend a day behind bars for robbing stores blind and assaulting anyone who gets in their way! Than they cry racism when stores are leaving their area because they can’t afford the losses! We need more jails and less bail!

[@ima8533]

Cry 😭 more

[@konkeydonged]

Oh, look, a wild Trumpanzee

[@WeaponOfMyDestructio]

Bruh this ain't the side walk, save up and get some marker

[@jabnewmedia]

Allow them to stand out with labels on the outside. Terrible design and lack of vision speaks for itself. No need to explain the obvious. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

[@CassCream]

Stealing back what was taken from us.
