If I can find my brothers' African medallions boxed up at the crib, I'm gonna start rockin those again. That's sure to confuse some people.

That's why I gave the year brackets.... in NY, we didn't start rocking the black medallions until the end of 86 - 89.... that's when Tribe Called Quest, The Jungle Brothers, De La Soul (and the rest of the Native Tongue), ruled our airwaves along with Public Enemy....they made hip hop more self-aware.

Dag..... all this talk is making me nostalgic. We had FUN back then. These kids don't know what fun is. But then again....I'm sure our elders will tell us the same thing....

Hold up don't forget the ponytail on the side of your head with the baby hair all slicked down to your face. Or the jordache jeans with the yellow or light blue stitching with the shirt to match the stitching. And don't forget the bubblegum reeboks and the two pairs of thick socks that were color coordinated to your outfit.

Ok..hold up. You're going back to the early 80s again, except we didn't do the thick socks. LOL

You are too funny! @ baby hair slicked down
