False, a duo straight out of Singapore just released this t-shirt in support of Lupe Fiasco's new release, The Cool. Each shirt has been individually hand-screened and hand-finished by the duo and comes with a certificate of authenticity. I guess that's why it's going for $74.99 over at Boundless NY. I'm all about supporting "The Cool" but I'm gonna have to pass on this one.
But this on the other hand....
Urban Outfitters seems to have solved the age old problem that comes along with drinking 40s - by the time you get to the bottom of the bottle your malt liquor is warm. Allow me to introduce you to the 40oz Cozy. It comes in two different patterns, Royal Crowns and Bandana (for the gangsters) and you can pick it up for $12 here. What will they think of next?

That 40oz cozy is the most exploitive piece of trash I've ever seen. It's obvious that this product is aimed directly at gang members. Coorporate entities have no respect for black or brown people and I'm sure they think that we're all 40 oz drinking, gangbanging, crack smoking, gold teeth wearing, coons & spics. This is disgraceful. From this point on, I'll make it my business to speak negatively about Urban Outfitters as opportunities present themselves. They shouldn't sell one unit of this trash.

If you bitch niggaz would drink your shit fast enough instead of walking around posing with your shit, then you wouldn't need no fucking 40oz coozy. You bitch niggaz that can't handle the big 4-0 are the reason shit like this is made. Fuck y'all niggaz...

I don't think anyone that drinks 40's with regularity knows what the fuck a cozy is? Like anybody is going to be on the block with this shit, they would get robbed on gp.
Yeah a big middle finger for Urban Outfitters for this one.
But who drinks 40 oz's anymore? Seriously, who does that shit?

Oh yeah, who buys that fucking T shirt for 75 bucks is an idiot. If you want to support Lupe spend that 75 on his album not some fucking t shirt, I could care less if it's hand made...these muthafuckas must have a serious drug habit to support selling them shits for 75.

If certain people (idiots) are willing to spend that much money on some stupid teeshirt then who are we to stand in their way...its just as stupid as celebrities making mucho money with stupid fragrance or clothing lines when they know absolutely nothing about these things.

Yall are missing what the man said. The shirt is $70.00 bucks cause it was hand printed by somebody. I didn't go through some machine and it's exclusive. Your not going to go to a party and see ten other people with it on. It sounds expensive, cause you can't afford it. It cost the same as a cheap as swingman jersey. It like drink. You can drink 40's out of your cozy all day long. Or you can go get you some Hen doggy dog. You be the judge.

Urban Outfitters SMH I loved (key word Loved) their store. Freaks with them at the Lenox Mall all the time however there is a store right across from them that has fresher gear than them. U.O. just had a bigger selection. One bad move can turn customers away with the quickness. Some SUB-urban kid is gonna buy this and think this is the coolest thing out there. Just like those lil hommie dolls. (Shake'n my head)

That's sum funny shit about the 40oz. The first person said that this shit is aimed for gangstas but that's not true. All kinda people drink that shit. In fact, in L.A. @ a very high end hotel called the Standard (on sunset), they actually sell 40oz. on their menu. There are tons of rich white young people drinkin that shit. Plus, urban outfitters is a white urban store anyway. This is probably gonna sell quite well.

Hello.
"Gangsters" don't shop at Urban Outfitters. It's a joke item. Like near the holidays, they were selling the little f-ed up tree from a Charlie Brown Christmas. Geez.

It looks nice. I saw many people at the wealthy club wealthychats.com talking about this Tee. Seems it's very popular at this season.

That shirt is wack and a str8 gank if you buy it. You're better off getting a shirt from 101 Clothing and a free CD and poster that comes with every purchase

How is Lupe "like pop"?
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
and whoever said something about Lu not knowing 80's rappers: Tribe is from the 90's....

The saddest thing here is the amount of people throwing words like "ignorant" and "stupid" around that cannot spell or use any form of decent english.
On the topic, this Urban Outfitters 40 "coozy" is not a swipe at black or brown people. It's a swipe at young and dumb kids that still shop there and buy 40's.
Class it up folks.
