Courtesy of Billy Jam's channel and taken from a local Bay Area TV documentary called Rap City Rhapsody, live footage of Too $hort plus an interview where he defends his right to say whatever he wants on his own records. $hort might have had the Shane McGowan teeth during this era, but he also had the supa dupa fly custom Life Is... Too $hort varsity jacket. I've said it before and I'll say it again, old NorCal rappers had the best clobber. Life is... too short to dress square.
Speaking of Billy Jam, there must be something in white mother's waters because all Rap fiend crackas have rocked the Billy Jam hairdoo at some point. Peep ya host Messy Mart circa 1989 probably listening to Run-D.M.C or Ice-T.

ReplyDeleteWhat's The Martorialist's opinion on middle aged blokes wearing varsity jackets? Fan of the Martin Riggs Lethal Weapon 2 look, but these days I mostly spot women wearing them in town. Also, does it have to be oversized like the Theodore Unit album cover? Too skinny for that.
ReplyDeleteImho they're fine for 40-something British blokes as long as they're not covered in logos of American sports teams.
ReplyDelete"Holy shit! Vampire Hotel!"
ReplyDeleteMotherf**cker, I'm tryna watch The Lost Boys!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Edgar Wright's 1000 Favourite Films list on Mubi? Great to see a bunch of under appreciated movies get some love on his list.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't. Do you think they've forced him to have some French New Wave movies in there? 😄
ReplyDeleteFrench New Wave - the Ponzhi scheme of film.
ReplyDeleteWright gets props for not picking any of that movie Marmite in the Criterion broom cupboard.
Thankfully no The Piano.
ReplyDeleteDude bro dawg ... messy mart!
