So I stumbled across this little video shot at a private party in a fairly well know photographers studio here in Seattle. A few artistswere invited to come perform acapella (sp?) and my friend Maclemore did a fairly nice piece about Air Jordan's which eventually (2nd verse) addresses thewhole consumer aspect of the so called shoe game. You may like it, you may not, but it is what it is and at least this is not a post about Jerking or someother minstrel-esk buffoonery.

what the hell is this dude talking about.

this is absolutely putrid.

one minute he's talking about air max 95s, and in the same verse he jumps back and starts talking about stepping on the court with his Jordans?

at that point he was obviously talking about his homies who were too poor to get real adidas, so theirs had the fourth stripe.

now that I think about it, no wonder the OP said not for everyone. he just happens to feel some $!% he knows is wack.

^agreed. The "not a shoehead" well I mean if you are to stupid to unerstand the 4th stripe reference, then like homeboy said "no wonder the OPsaid not for everyone".

and "one minute he's talking about air max 95s, and in the same verse he jumps back and starts talking about stepping on the court with hisJordans?" I think hes talking about shoes, not sure though.

And also my homie from Seattle Sebino formerly known as D'Mello has done some production work for Maclemore if anybody's is interested, its real sick. Sebionmusic.com, he has a bunch of beats up there.

For the record I think the songs content is great but over all the song (at least this version) sucks. I know ben could have done much better, must have beenthe booze.

BTW: Maclemore knows the difference between jordan and Air Max's.
