Is licking your shoes a new trend?

We all know Fat Joe aka Joey Crack started the epidemic of licking the bottom of your brand new shoe on a show of mtv cribs a couple of years back. Have you fallen victim to licking your brand new pair of shoes? Personally, I wouldn't do it, however a great amount of people are following this trend. Recently, a passenger on the nyc subway system has been caught licking his entire shoe on various occasions. Fat Joe now has competition as this man is overdoing it. What do you think of this man's actions? Is he doing it for attention or is he indeed homeless? Watch the following videos and share your thoughts below.

Thoughts on the brand Ti$a.

As you may or may not know, the brand Ti$a (Taz is so Arnold) created by Taz Arnold has recently received a ton of hype. Some consider Taz to be a genius, but who can argue. He takes a vintage snapback and attaches his logo, then raises the price by $40-50. He also takes a regular Fruit of the Loom fabric shirt and places his logo. A pack of 5 Fruit of the Loom t-shirts can be purchased for under 30 dollars, however, one Ti$a t-shirt can cost up to $75.  Taz Arnold is an artist signed to Big Sean's label "Finally Famous". They began sporting the brand and the hype grew within no time. So what are your thoughts on Ti$a? Do you own any of their clothing? Be sure to watch the following videos and share your opinions below.



Dipset aka trendsetters

As we all know, New York City is the fashion capital of the world. Harlem is arguably the town in which starts all trends. Over the years we have seen great change in the fashion of ordinary civilians. Is this a result of the Harlem based hip hop group The Diplomats also known as simply Dipset? They did the over-sized jerseys, lv and bb simon belts, and also endorsed plenty of brands through their music. What do you think? Let your opinion be known through the comment section.
