I have a whole new respect for this man Lupe Fiasco.
And I know ya'll might hate me, but look at this verse about the illuminati
Kill your own peoples, but fear Illuminatis
and they ain't even real, or are they?
But you ain't even know, cuz you partay
too fuckin much, if you start to doubt
they already in yo mind, and comin' out yo mouth
Its not a trick, nigga, it's a trap
Survival of the fit, is what they aiming at
And niggas aint fit, fat as hell!
Lupe might know something we don't.
Anyways today's blog I'm addressing some of my least favorite things. I may get vulgar if so please excuse me. Shoes and clothes. But more so shoes.
Rich Central AKA Hell Hole High, there was a very big thing about Jordans. The New Mikes. You got people standing in lines outside shoe stores to get these shoes. WHICH AREN'T EVEN CUTE most of the time. Like there's unlikely and ugly color combination and just extra stuff that doesn't need to be there. But not only were people buying these expensive shoes but they had to buy a shirt to go with it, also expensive. And half these nighas did not even have jobs. Like nigha are you serious? Why is your parent even giving you that much money to "up your shoe game"? And why are you never in class??!! Too busy in the hallway showing off your new fit to go get educated. Now when college applications rolled around I BET there wasn't a section that said "How Many Pairs of Mikes Do You Currently Own?". What blew me even further out the water was the 2008 i believe yearbook that had the picture of someone's ridiculous closet. WE DO NOT CARE.
And then nighas wanna talk about someone who isn't wearing the new mikes. EXCUSE ME?! You stuntin on some shoes your PARENT paid for?! From age 16 to 18 I made my own money and bought EVERYTHING i ever needed or wanted. After that I gradually stopped buying stuff because college started and I didn't have a job. But you're cool because you have new shoes...that you didn't pay for. Yea OK!
One time i came from soccer practice, had took my cleats off because i was in the building and i had my "Gym" shoes on which were K-Swiss right. This boy said something slick and i was like EXCUSE ME?! Nigha do you not see im dirty right now?! I Clearly just came from practice, im supposed to wear clean mikes to soccer practice?! Bye!
Omg people be killing me when they put themselves on a pedestal. Trying to down someone for the clothes they're wearing because of the brand or because of their shoes...last time I checked K-Swiss were ranging from $40 to $50 so its not like they're cheap. Its actually a fiscally responsible decision that YO DUMBASS didn't make. And people don't even stop to think like "damn well maybe they're not well off, maybe they're poor" so now you making fun of someone whose poor. But that's fine. I can't wait til all these nighas FEEL it. Karma my sistah, my sistah.
This is part of the reason I hate people. Cuz they SWEAR they better than someone. I never consider myself above someone due to my financial means or material possessions. One day they gonna lose it all. And lose their whole sense of self.
P.S I hate shoes, Like if i could just wear socks all day I would be a very happy individual.

I am soooo glad you wrote this blog Kristin... I didn't really grow up with much money so I don't understand the mentality of people who make fun of those with "bad" clothes. Even in college this is still evident, and its pretty sad. Niggas trying to impress people they don't like with things they can't even afford. This whole mentality is backwards and pretty sad.. But just like you said Kristin, the people who are spending their savings on Jordans are DEFINITELY going to feel it later on life.
