Clothing Wars: LRG Vs Shady Limited

Ok, so it looks like there's a little beef brewing in the clothing world. In one corner we have LRG, which Entrepreneur Magazine recently ranked at #5 on its 2007 Hot 500 list of fastest-growing companies, and in the other corner we have the lesser known Shady Ltd. (Eminem's apparel brand).

Here's the controversy.

Shady Ltd dropped this Jason inspired hoodie earlier this year:

And LRG dropped this one:
Untitled-1.jpg

This is causing a lot of people to wonder what came first. The Shady Ltd people revealed their hoodie at Magic back in February and dropped it in the Cashis video for "Lac Motion" about four months ago, while LRG didn't release their design until the summer. But we all know that clothes aren't created overnight. Sohh, what do you think? Was there some shady business going on or this this just a clothing coincidence?

BTW check out this (funny) video that someone on Team Shady made:

The Shady one is hotter.

First Sayers take it thru the back.

Wiseman:

This is beyond ridiculous...yea let some cats walk around in these in public near a Bank...and u will be sitting in the Cage...

conspiracy to the 100th power....

J. Grand:

Hate to admit it, but I did see the Shady one a long time ago.

Ozone:

Shady one is definitely hotter and who gives a fuck which one came first?

I bet the LRG one costs more $$ too haha

2wack:

fuk both i aint buying shit

shady sucks:

You would be dumb to copy anything from shady ltd. Not only is their clothing ugly as fuck but nobody wears them but 14 year old white boys, and they are only sold at Kohls department stores. Basically, they are only worn by g-unit fans, (all 35 of them).

ayla:

the shady hoodie looks dope, lrg's is a total rip off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ubnq3rfFkPE

hahaha:

35 fans?
im pretty sure he's platinum by now

frankfresh1:

james:

Selenium:

Yeah, Shady is definitely less known but this one looks really hotter than LRG's. Can't deny that.

sinister1:

I like LRG but the Shady Ltd does look better. the LRG one looks to exaggerated.

seb:

yea the shady one looks so nice so simple and fresh
im not gonna lie i think lrg is a lil overated they put a million ads on no wonder i dont really like the skull theme in eminems line but soe f his other shit is really hot

i like the shady one better, but they both look good to me just one looks more costumie(LRG).

unico:

both companies bit other fashion houses that been doing this with the skeleton hoodies. this shit started in the bay during halloween bout 4 years ago. been there done that, so actually neither are original.

DJ SALAM WRECK:

SHADY IS ALWAYS BEEN THE TREND SETTERS IN MUSIC, CLOTHING and IMAGE in this Hip Hop Lifestyle.....

Oh PAH...LEASE!! DON'T NOBODY GIVE A FUGG 'BOUT NO DAMN SHADY CLOTHING!

And a masked hoody is the DUMBEST $HIT I've seen since the "closed" necked t's Theo purchased on THE COSBY SHOW. WTF!?!

You would be dumb to copy anything from shady ltd. Not only is their clothing ugly as fuck but nobody wears them but 14 year old white boys, and they are only sold at Kohls department stores. Basically, they are only worn by g-unit fans, (all 35 of them).

ROTFLMAO!! ....all 35 of 'em... hehehe

Shady LTD and LRG are probably owned by the same clothing company.

Like Rocawear is now owned by a larger company. It's actually very common.

Shady hoodie looks better...lrg is a dope line but they should stick wit wat they know like nature and being "lifted" as opposed to gore,violence and blood which is closely associated with the shady persona

Anonymous:

yo. shady's came out first. not too mention the concept works way better for shady then LRG. sorry.

Tony2Real:

Really who gives a *$ck....Shady clothes are ugly and LRG is following the whole hoodie fad w/ the zip up masks...I mean if you want to be technical neither of them came up with that concept....their both biters

Super Dill:

real simple.. i saw the shady hockey mask full zip at magic.. i saw that lrg didnt even have anything like it hanging... so..then lrg comes out with the exact same concept.. or .. if lrg did it first.. which i doubt why didnt they show it.. it overall just looks like LRG is copying SHADY..
from having seen shady's at magic.. it just kind of makes lrg look corny..

sickkicks:

ima tyake my hundres dollars and go to kohls and buy 10 of those shady limited, damn went from macys to kohls thats a damn shame

WTF?:

Who wears Shady or LRG? Nobody 'round these parts. But the Shady one does look better.

chris:

cheah is a stupid nigger

damn noboby on the site got any taste, the lrg design is better by far, the shady one looks cheap as fuck - like you can get it out a super 10- u can wear the lrg one for a halloween party and still look clean without all dat costume shit on

latino people are the best looking:

the shady one looks way better.and to the ones saying shiit, shady clothes is sold at macys i se it their all the times.lrg is sold at ghetto shops on main streets in the ghetto.and you said shady clothes is for wiggers??? thats why everyone in hip hop is wearing skeleton shirts and we all know the white punk rockers were the first ones with skeleton shirts. so if you wear a skeleton shirt would that make you an unlce tom??? give me a break most of the clothes are made from whites anyway. but like i said the shady one looks wayyy better 1.

Just so you know :

Just so you know Shady is now sold at Kohls dept. store. They might have been sold at a Macys at one time, but now they are sold at Kohls.

THAT SAYS SHADY?

Shady Soldier:

If you think about it, Em came up with the whole Jason Mask with the Chainsaw thing. You can see it early in his career when he went on tour with D12. I forgot what tour it was, but it was years ago and he came out in overalls and a mask with a chainsaw. Even his action figure is dressed like it.

Now with LRG, they have chainsaws on their Jason mask. Jason didn't use a chainsaw. He used a machete. To me, this points out that LRG coped Shady ltd, because that's like Em's THING. Chainsaw + Jason mask = Em. Whether or not LRG or Shady ltd designed the hoodie first, Em was definitely the one to come up with the concept of mixing horror icons together.

May:

The Shady Ltd hoodie looks better than the LRG sh*t. LRG straight bit off that.

But to whoever said that nobody in the 'hood rocks Shady, i cosign that. I don't even see people with a Shady Ltd. t-shirt. White people be rocking Em's clothes. I am a fan of Em's but chill, I don't rock his sh*t neither.

eminemisgay:

who cares who made it first, shady clothing is weak.

just cause he aint fuckin' rapping about girls suckin' his dick, gettin' money, doin' and sellin' drugs, don't mean he aint a good rapper.

Mystery:

All the DJs hired by Interscope wear LRG clothing, it seems as if they are given it to promote it, but in all actuality they work under Paul Rosenburg. Check DJ AMs Myspace pics or Team Canadas myspace orDJ Scenes myspacepage. Im sure the companies are all under one contract....basically all the moneys going in the same fucking bank...so it dont matter...I use to like some of the LRG......I prefer some of Shady LTd available overseas...the shit they sell here sucks.

Very good site. Thank you!!!
