Learn to speak you fuckin guy. Couldn’t even understand the interview.

Yeah first of, learn how to speak…then take a look at your style and just do a makeover, cause you obviously can´t dress…
Some of the kicks are nice though…would like me a pair of Yeezys though
May 19th, 2009 at 11:26 am
dudes a tool. a person couldn’t be anymore conceited and confident. thing is, he has no idea how much of an idiot he is. truth be told, we’re all hating on his personality over style. act a little more humble, and speak proper english then people will ease up

May 20th, 2009 at 5:16 am
I think the gear looks great but I couldn’t even finish the interview. Hearing people talk like that is bad enough but reading it is twice as bad.
May 20th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Some of the outfits are on point but them CARGO shorts?! come on man at least wear basketball shorts uh sumthin!
And that interview was straight trash!
May 20th, 2009 at 9:41 am
Seriously fam is a white dude tryin to be from the hood he is probably chillin in his parents crib right now feedin off their money and completely oblivious to whats happening in the real streets and his album will most likely be filled with usual non clever thug wannabe lyrics. I Bet money he doesnt talk like that off the internet nonetheless i can deny the fact that his fits are fresh for the most part but everyone knows his parents copped em for him
May 20th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
my guy does look like he’s tryin way too hard. but i do still want a pair of concord xi’s
May 20th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I don’t think I remember the last time I laughed so hard at pictures lmao. keep doin’ ya thang A POWERS
May 20th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
GOODs fitted! That’s what’s up!
May 20th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
holy sh!t bro..honestly i type stupidly a lot to but omfg that was actually hard for me 2 understand..i like some of ur style like the heinekens but honestly ur prob the biggest joke ive ever seen..y every1 bin hatin on ya boi since 2…r u fkn serious u sound like a retard..and ya boi dont rock chains cuz its 2 materialistic..more like because u dont have any money 2 buy that shit so do every1 a favor adn stfu and good luck with the rap album…im sure it will win at least best album of the year
May 20th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Although, the interview was difficult to read. I enjoyed looking at the pics…that camera is definitely on point. VERY fresh concord XIs are always a pleasure to see.
May 20th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
LOL at his face in the knicks colors! lmao!!
May 20th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
this kid is a joke..

hhhahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahaaaahahha
May 20th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
he looks like he is in pain
May 20th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
What’s so special about these fits? Zero creativity…. Anyone can match blue with blue, yellow with yellow and so on.
May 20th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
That guy just played himself..I liked the Kid N Play shirt though.
May 20th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Whaazup A Powers im represnting for NT,i like all the kicks you be rocking but that’s not what impress me,all i wanna know is where you get your T-shirts from especically the playing and yellow’GET IT TOGATHER’ t-shirt,and the kid and plat one as well,holla back and let me know,i could really rock that out here in The Bahamas man
May 20th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
i meant to say kid and play,and i also mean to say black and yellow not playing and yellow,lol smelling fault
May 21st, 2009 at 12:51 am
this guy is a complete douche! can’t finish reading his interview, but aren’t you suppose to act legit, I mean come on you have the spotlight shined on you and you fucked up
May 21st, 2009 at 3:42 am
What a jack-ass, dude looks like he’s either constipated or wants to kiss you on the mouth in every pic…
May 21st, 2009 at 4:37 am
Funny.
May 21st, 2009 at 8:09 am
I can understand the hate but dam lighten up. I found the interview funny. I think dude is jus joking and using a gimmick. Fits were on point too, except the hats cocked sideways. Purple 12s were str8 heat. Be easy man
May 21st, 2009 at 8:47 am
This guy needs to learn he’s white, how to spell and how to dress. This dudes a dunce and a loser living off his rich parents.
May 21st, 2009 at 9:31 am
woww how can someone be such a douchebag? his fits aren’t even nice at all -_-
May 21st, 2009 at 2:22 pm
He has some dope kicks…nothing I haven’t seen in person recently, but I have no hate for his style…do what you do. On the other hand, it does look like he is about to cry in the next to last pic(Blazers)…and I don’t understand why somebody would be interested in flexing some concords in front of a Hyundai(nice try on hiding the emblem)…get your priorities strait son….lol
May 21st, 2009 at 3:16 pm
“This guy needs to learn he’s white”
I keep seeing people say quotes like this. Like “he needs to act white,” “he’s trying to be black” or “doesn’t he realize he’s white,” and even worse “he’s a wigger.” What is that about?
I don’t get it, do you guys believe that only black people dress in baggy, color matched clothing, goofy sitting hats, have swagger and type terribly? I’m not saying I support his style but if it’s his then let it be “HIS.”
You can still hate but hate on his style, when you say things like those quotes before it makes it seem as though you hate him for “trying” to be black which in turn comes off as you “HATE” black people. You guys just need to get out of here with all that white/black ish and let him do him and MAKE FUN HIM for it!!!!
May 26th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
i feel dumber after reading that.
May 29th, 2009 at 11:40 am
lol cornbread
May 29th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Cmon guyes,
You know that a powers is doin the damn thing. You talk all this shit yet you know he wound stunt on you anyday. Man, is this what solecollector has turned into? A bunch of haters?
June 5th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
“* Do you have a Go-To Accessory? (watch/band/fitted/etc.)
Yea, Mah go to accessory are watches fitteds an shades. Ya boi don’t do chains cuz I try to stay away from da 2 materialistic stuff.”
but yet you have every shoe, every piece of clothes, watches, fitteds, and shades but a chain would make you materialistic???? LMBO & GTFO! Your a hypebeast with half style (some is you which i like but then you just do stuff like Kayne) Yes you have heat. Im not knocking you for that but the way you carry yourself is all wrong.
* Who are 3 other members in the WDYWT post who have style?
No 1 really got good style on dere. It sad 2 say. I respect mah man Ty’s style cuz he doin dat weird lupe look and doin it rite.”
“No 1 really got good style on dere. It sad 2 say.”
“No 1 really got good style on dere. It sad 2 say.”
“No 1 really got good style on dere. It sad 2 say.”
