Olu and Ed
We’re in a rebellion against the whole concept of how a man should dress. Why is it that if I want to wear a suit, shirt, and bow tie, I get ten straight compliments, but when I wear a motorcycle jacket and some baggy drop crotch pants everyone says I’m crazy? I remember I was at the bus stop and some dude came up in his car and screamed, ‘Yo, why you wear those? You look gay, nigga!’ That’s when I realized it’s a great thing to offend people with the way you dress.
