He should've just inked a deal with Ross, since that's where most of these celebrity clothing lines end up eventually.

Sears used to be good.

/still like to go to Sears when tool shopping. Craftsman, FTW

I can see the commercial now


"Don't call it a sell out
My clothes are at Sears
Rockin my pants and puttin Penny's in fear..."

Maybe they should have thought of this when LL was relevant.

Wintermute6: He should've just inked a deal with Ross, since that's where most of these celebrity clothing lines end up eventually.

As someone who just went on a shopping spree at Marshall's and Burlington coat factory, I resemble that remark.

But... but there's more for your life at Sears!

There's already enough urban streetwear.
Dear Uncle L (I call him that cuz I'm old skool.. whatever) and all other rappers/urban streetwear developers-

Instead of making more streetwear for kids to look like thugs in..
make more dressy clothes. Nice pants, decent shirts.. start a new trend.

Kanye West sort of did this, where he wore a lot of collared shirts that looked decent. Of course he still had some wild outfits.. but i did appreciate him being dressed "well" more often than not.

It's jinglin baby

I still can't believe he was going to be Dolemite.

Dr.Knockboots: Instead of making more streetwear for kids to look like thugs in.. make more dressy clothes. Nice pants, decent shirts.. start a new trend.

Sean John tends to be the classiest out of the group. I have a few long sleeved, classy Sean John shirts. Though most of the time I'm an Ecko brand whore.

There's a Sears just around the way from here.

[LeShaun] Doin it and doin it and doin it wrong

I think Sears is the one who should be embarassed...

Well it be on the soft side of Sears?

Well, in the song lyrics, and I'm quoting:

"He'll rip you off, he'll take your money,
make you work for free.
Though you might scoff,
it isn't funny, he's the devil, see.
"Kill Whitey."

How can you listen to that and think...

we talking about killing all white people?

We was talking about one specific Whitey.

Whitey Dilucca. Our ex-manager.
He ripped us off for $.

Right, and Whitey Dilucca
wasn't even white. He was...

He was Italian. He was one of them
olive-complected motherfarkers.

Wintermute6: He should've just inked a deal with Ross, since that's where most of these celebrity clothing lines end up eventually.

Don't forget K&G! I wander my white ass in there from time to time to check the selection of big & tall sizes, and 30 minutes later, I emerge with bags full of urban wear by the likes of Phat Farm, Koncrete, Girbaud, and others.

Thank goodness the trend in hip-hop styles still runs to oversize clothes, because they fit my 6'6" frame and larger-than-I'd-like waist perfectly, and for a reasonable price. No doubt I look like a tool, but what can you do.

HighOnCraic: Well, in the song lyrics, and I'm quoting:

That was some Wile E. Coyote shiat right there, my friend.

yeah cause Martha Stewart failed by selling out to Kmart

Fear of a black hat. You win. Nothing can top this. Would you happen to know if this is ever going to see the light of day on DVD?


Oh, and Granny said kick yo black ass.

when i think of sears i immediately think STREET CRED

bostonowns: when i think of sears i immediately think STREET CRED

I'm wondering if they'll have a little "Keepin' it Krunk" alcove between the optometrist and the portrait studio.

given that it's LL Cool J, Sears seems about right.

Mama said you sell out


/more proof rap is completely dead and only exists now as some zombified marketing whore who feeds on the wallets of rich white kids.

Oddly enough, the first movie listed under "Related Titles" is:
The Gun In Betty Lou's Handbag (1992) A shy librarian attempts to escape her boring life and lackluster marriage to a police detective by recovering a murder weapon and claiming she's responsible for the deed.

Oh, and Tastey T will go to the battle
killin more fools than mickey dees kills cattle

I'm waiting for little plastic figures, with no small parts for young thugs to choke on, of rappers to start showing up in Happy Meals nationwide. They'll be little plastic "bling" toys and 9mm pistol toys so you can be thuggin' and pimpin' at Mc D's. For schizzle, my nizzle.

cubsfan07: Mama said you sell out


I lawled.

You can laugh all you want, but every mall in America has a Sears. LL will make bank on this, mark my words.

"I'm notorious, I live glorious
I'm the fly gangster that remains victorious
Get up in your top-shelf clothes
Cold farkin' top-shelf hos
I'm the man they call number one
Don't try this shiat at home
A gangsta's life ain't fun"

Yes, we all know that having lots of money automatically makes someone better than the rest of us, no matter how it is obtained.

Thank you for making this logical argument. Why, just the other day I was remarking to some fellow Farkers about how what a great guy this drug lord was. They said "but he sells drugs". I said, "So what, dumbass? The guy is RICH !$!$!$!$! You're just jealous douche bags!".

Your comments make it sound as though you think anything prior to this enterprise for Mr. Cool J could be mistaken as anything else?

I'm confused.

Music is just that now, a business.

I know you like your outfits stylish
Any other place but the gap is childish
Everybody workin there's your personal stylist
You fallin, once you hear the gap callin
Non stoppin yes yallin
Fallin into every mall and town and city
G A P pretty
G thats for gettin it A for always
P thats for power and the people who praise backwards
P for popular A for attitude
G get it doin daddy gap is on the move

Visualingo: Sean John tends to be the classiest out of the group. I have a few long sleeved, classy Sean John shirts. Though most of the time I'm an Ecko brand whore.

Rocawear has some nice dress shirts and their jeans are nice. I usually only wear Sean John hoodies or t-shirts, never really their dress shirts.

But yeah, the rest of the time I'm in Ecko.

LL and Sears: a perfect fit!

"I'm the type of guy to cold put on a pamper
You're the type of guy to say, 'what you talkin bout?'
I'm the type of guy to leave my drawers in your hamper"

This thread has been Worthington'd.

Well they have something in common: No one under the age of 25 has ever heard of them.

Don't call it a comeback. Sear's hood, fo' real, dawgs!

/loves when people repeat outdated slang whenever hip hop comes up
//good business move for LL, i guess
///we got some hats now, motherfarkers

Right?! So, lets get down to the roll call then?

Reminds me of the Monkees second album. The label had them dress in the latest JC Penny fashions for the cover. Mike Nesmith (the one with talent) was pissed.

Sybarite: I can see the commercial now


"Don't call it a sell out

could be the Beer, but I laughed.

I'm thinking of a Maine-based retailer that would have been IDEAL for a big-deal tie-in... forget the name at the moment...
