I really have no words for this one. It’s obviously a traditional tattoo inspired design which features Jay-Z as a sailor. I have no idea why someone would create such a thing but the people at For The Homie did. The back features a skull and dagger with a banner that reads, “Justify My Thug.” For those that are interested it’s available at Yes Diggity for $75 AUD which is about $66 USD.
Here’s the Back:
And moving right along. FRUITION (the Las Vegas boutique) and Jeremy Scott (fashion guru) have teamed up once again. The result is a collection which combines different elements to create a true high fashion meets street perspective. Like this:
I used to have a few Black Bart t-shirts (of the Chinatown variety) back in the day and I'm into crewneck sweatshirts now so I'm feeling this. Thoughts?

These fashions have been done already and are way too common. I'm noticing a disturbing trend in black music and fashion... severe lack of originality! I'd only copp that tee if it was $20 or less.

The black bart shirt is aiight...Not like the ones I had though...His hair was twisted and and he rocked a chain. Black Bart shirts weren't 80's either..Simpsons premiered in 89" Black bart is like 90'-91'....little dudes need to do their homework...WTF is a LAB top(3 posts above?)LMFAO!!!!

To be honest, it never ceases to amaze me how many people in the streetwear industry collab together resulting in extremely overhyped and very unimpressive products. Case in point, the Black Bart Simpson sweatshirt. Straight up, it looks like a chinese bootleg of a Black Bart T from the nineties...his feet dwarf his body for christs sake! Which is the reason why I couldn't help but think of this comment...
"you no people look real ghetto and dirty wearing these hood knock off wannabe 80 tee shirts its almost 2010 we should have jackets that zip up on command and sneakers with built in lab tops."
Although a bit far fetched..it's on point. We're in "the future", so we should atleast dress like it! That's what the game's been missing.

i agree with swoosh those 80s fashions has allready been done allready they should make a new trend. its betta to leave the 80s where they were so you have something good to look back on and if you wernt around in the 80s make something new. what kills me is these younger kids dress like the 80s but they dont hardley no about any rappers ,rockers that where around in the 80s.i mean whats next people walking around with clothes from the bc era or the cave man era give me a break!! and that bart shirt looks corny whats up with his size 19 shoes??? and to "big homie" a lab top is a mini computer that you can take with you that flips back.im 27 and these kids killed hip hop while they dress like the 70s and 80s.and they killed hip hip buy listening to those wack ring tone songs.how are you gonna dress like a time when things were real than listen to wackness like .chingy,50,liljhon,soulja boy,dipset , nelly,and soforth..thats like wearing a jesus cross around your neck and your going around killing people.

Gay-Z looks like a Sailor Toy boy that got the sailor boy treatment in the A S S. LMFAO!!!!!!. I bet every Gay-Z D I C K Rider wants to own that tee so they could walk around, hold hands and hop scotch to American Wanksta @the same time.

Yea, most of the cats on here have a good point about the lack of originality with the shirts. Its not so much that the jay z shirt is unoriginal even, that shit is just lame. But the black bart simpson is extra-regular cuz. Forreal, if the people writin these blogs cant find anything else to hype people up about then damn, maybe yall need to shut this bitch down.
by the way, to lisa, who tried to hop on here and kick some knowledge...u sleep as fuck! Its not a "lab top"...its a LAPTOP, because its a computer that can sit on your lap. Two cups of bleach.

"Forreal, if the people writin these blogs cant find anything else to hype people up about then damn, maybe yall need to shut this bitch down."
I'd have to agree. All the clothes on this blog are and have been wack and the blog writers only seem to big up sh!t that nobody else in their right mind would. These dudes are worse than the worst hypebeasters ever...they don't even have any relative sense of taste!

The shirt does have a homo thing going on with it. and uh the original black bart tee's were better. recycled garbage. Oh and why when the white folks get racist first thing the say is go back to Africa. For one north america belongs to the Native Indians.... stupid white folk. Oh and we were taken as slaves from our motherland not willfully... and without black people america would be nothing qoute that slavery built america plus what the sports you gonna watch when all the black folk like you said go back to Africa nothing.... no basketball no baseball no football nothing so just relax oh that pro and college ha ha
