Fame and Fashion...
These are just a few different shots of well known hip hop artists, and their Fashion Sense. These are most the few artists that hold it down fashionably, hence some of these artists here have even ventured into their own fashion/clothing labels. (Sean John, Roc a Wear, Billionare Boys Club, Ice Cream, etc.) This here is how you do it, its just Common Sense, nah mean.

Alife Everybody Hi AmericasPosted by Alex Kroviak Sep 22, 2009
We last saw Alife’s Everybody family of sneakers when they released the black suede Everybody Mids. This time, Alife’s bringing two new takes on the Everybody Hi Americas out to play.
Coming both a torquoise and a brown colorway, these use multiple fabrics to break up the single hue design. Pseudo-lizard, patent leather, mesh and suede are all used, and both shoes get a gum sole with a color accent on the very tip of the toe. This isn’t the first set of Everybody Hi Americas we’ve seen–you may remember the full Fall ‘09 collection we showed you no too long ago. If you’re feeling these, they’re available now at Wish in Atlanta.
Is Alife doing a good job keeping this sneaker fresh, or is it time for another silhouette?

Let's Just be Real...
I.) Graphic Tee's are beginning to take a toll...
-Okay, let's just be real, maybe it's just the fact that we see them everywhere now, or maybe because of the fact that we as young men are getting older in age, but whatever it may be, I feel strongly that the classy, yet fly look is the way to go. I think being viewed in a graphic tee just makes us look less mature, and less knowledgable. The Graphic tee, mono-colored skinny's, a fitted, and fake Ray-ban's look especially, is N-O-T, not the look neccessible to make it in this whole being truly "fly" ordeal. I mean don't get me wrong, i still love Dope graphic tee's produced by your, BBC, or Play Clothes, or your K Robot type look, definitely dope. But you take one of those graphic tee's, throw a cardigan over it, and some slim fitting khaki's and you on to something there. When you step away from the cliche look, and mature a little bit as a fashion consumer, you can just walk around with that confidence and look at others who still dress like that and kinda smerk, like "Damn, when will it end?", and with that being said...
II.)We are truly some Arrogant young men...
-I mean, let's just be real, maybe its a bad thing, or looked at as cocky, but in all actuality, I personally do not care. I see it as a form of "self-beneficial-confidence", yeah there we go, self-beneficial-confidence, there's a new one for you all. But again, i'm not the type to flaunt all in the next person's face nah mean, it's just like in whatever i do, ESPECIALLY dressing, i AM flyer than you. That's just the way life goes. Don't like it, prove me wrong. I feel this is a good thing to top off our personalities, we are young knowledgable, aspiring, fly, real, hard-working young men, inspite of any negative things in our lives, this "self-beneficial-confidence" may help us get through hard times level-headedly. Like i said, don't like it? Prove me wrong.
III.)Kanye's Interruption was HILARIOUS...
-Again, we gotta keep it one hundred, now coming from the mouth of the man who also said, "George Busch doesn't like black people.", it really can't get much worse, feel me? Like I mean, okay, it was flat-out rude, okay, but between this guy, being just drunk as all hell, and Beyonce's reaction, you can't get anymore naturally comedic than that. That whole situation was just akward and Hilarious. I'm sorry, just being real.
IV.)Who the hell approved Lil' Mama's appearance?..
-Let's just be real, my nigga HOV was just looking at her like, WHY!?, she walked up there first off, with a baby-girl, middle school shirt, and some jean baby phat capri's on. That right there was a no-no. She just knew she was a true Brooklyn Rep-Haver. My boy Kairy got more rep in Harlem then she do in Brooklyn. Not a good look Lil Mama, but hey what's done is done, she got her lil shine.
V.)The BluePrint III...
-'Nuff Said.
VI.)Polo Polo Polo...
-Lets keep it real here, hmm, where do i begin? I feel as if, when you approve of a group of "niggaz" to wear all of your gear in a video for a song entitled "Swag Surf", you just pretty much lost all your respect. I mean, with that being done, you have just opened up to a wide-range of clientel that you do not want. Now you got these lames sprorting, anything from Beverly Hills Polo, U.S.P.motha frickin A., and everything, and it just makes a young man like myself not want it even in my possession anymore. On the next as we say.
VII.)The word Swag is not cool anymore...
-'Nuff said.
VIII.)Knowledge is Power, Wisdom is Strength...
-Let's just be real, at the end of the day, I just want Me, and everyone around me to eat. Whatever you have to do to make it out here, do it. Don't look back either. Success can never be attained without Hard Work, no matter how much Talent one has. &that's real! Stay tuned for up and coming changes to society,hence Common Sense Clothing on the come-up,& heavy world. Keep Grinding. Remember : Knowledge IS Power, & Wisdom IS Strength.

It's Common Sense...
Stop trying so hard guys, being fly is something that may only be attained naturally. It seems as if most of society's consumers fail, due to letting the clothes wear them, when in actuality, they are supposed to wear the clothes. "Ya boy's jeans too tight, ya color's too bright" -Jay-Z. This is just the statement of the day, "It's Common Sense." When you think to hard, or try too hard you might just hurt yourself lol. ( which is what this image is insinuating. Remember: Knowledge is Power, Peace...
The Saga Begins
On August 13th, 2009, the first meeting was held at Border's bookstore in Patrick Henry Mall over a cup of coffee and a few business magazines. Three "fly guys", or what we would say young intellegient black men named: Carldario Brown, Mike Smart, and Craig Powers, Jr., worked together and planned the foundation to what will be known as a very strong and pretty adequate peice of society, now known as "Common Sense Clothing." There were alot of ideas and visions from the three, and after a plethura of rigorous deliberating, most of the basics as into starting this business venture were narrowed down and will now be looked into and researched to achieve and attain the success that these three gentlemen desire. We ask that you all stick with us, and follow us. You will not be disappointed, hence others before us have had a great start, or concepts, but fail to do this clothing thing correctly and keeping it fly, in which none of us have a problem doing. Just stick with us, it's Common Sense - Knowledge is Power.
