What is up with Fubu lately? Why are they on the outs? I fell out of the loop on this one. We were talking in class the other day, and Fubu came up and homeboy was like they still make that mess? It's rare to see any Fubu walking on the campus anymore (who still rock the shirt is me) other than the Fat Albert designs...

What did I miss? To all the fashion forward people out there...

I believe FUBU fell off b/c they sold that part of the company to Ralph Lauren or one of those companies out there. I think they really only promote the platinum fubu line and their label b/c they still own that part of the company, so more money for them.

Did you know that Ladies FUBU is actually Jordache w/ Fubu's name? If not look at the logos and the style of the jeans, they are Jordaches old jeans.

So *THAT'S* why they say FUBU is no longer For Us By Us. Folks were calling it For Us By Them, an refuse to buy some of it now... So they only own the Platinum line? SO THAT'S why they had a crazy FUBU sale in the mall last month. They were selling stuff like they were trying their best to get rid of it. Who bought two FUBU dress shirts was me...

For real?! Now THAT'S just trife on a stick... Scheisty....

Yeah Fubu went out years ago...I NEVER see a Fubu around where I live and if you do wear one you will get clowned to no end.

YEARS ago?!?! Great Day! Where have I been? Look at me STILL rocking the jersey, hat, and dress shirts like whoa... Wow... Now I feel dumb (but who paid too much money and will continue to wear it until it fall apart or no longer fits is me) So people around that way don't even wear the Fat Albert stuff?

OH MY GOD!!! You guys are on a roll. ROTFLMAO. Eboni, you know I don't have any qualms about that signature, I was the FIRST to make my voice heard. That travesty of justice was stomped out of sight a LONG time ago, thanks to me. ::ahem::

Now about Fubu, not all of their stuff has the logo's and insignia's all over it... I have some of their basketball shirts (sorta like a beater but it's loose like a shirt without sleeves) and a few pairs of their jeans (which are CRAP BY THE WAY!!!)

Basically, if I were to rock it you wouldn't know I had it on, Stevie would just look damn good as usual. But I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy that I did not spend $200 plus on one of those Fat Albert leather coats. They're played out after just one winter season. I prefer Avirex or just gimme a peacot and I'm fine.
