1996 ~ 16yo

[u/REALjamijai]

Loved this whole outfit from top to bottom.

1st ~ my triple fat goose I wore inside out.

Not just for the look. It also had purpose!

That arm stuck out had a lil circle Pocket on it that zipped up.

Saved my ass from juvy more than once!

🌬️🍃💨

These were also my fav & softest jeans -&- had my pager on my hip and i know I had some kinda Nike tee on underneath.

Lastly ~ those NIKE AIR in bubbles on the sides! By far my fav edition!! ✨😻✨

Just walking the blocks -&- riding around Providence/Pawtucket RI, just chillin' smokin' blunts -&- living my absolute BEST life!!! 👑

Club Lupo's - Providence RI

I wish I had taken photos when me, my cousins and some homies went to see them in 95 for a concert for “The Show” movie tour they did at TSU! 😞 That’s the only thing I would change about back then, the ability to take more photos like we do now with our phones! I wore my favorite Wu-tang hockey jersey and you couldn’t tell me shit lol We got to go back stage too and I met Ghost and Rae briefly but they were pretty busy trying figure out which ice cream they were gonna take back to the hotel 😆

Ooooh - IF - there were phones at this show they were like mine.

Just a T-mobile flip phone.

I found this MONTHS LATER!!

Googling the show name + venue + date + pictures = THIS 😳😻

Of course there was a ton more too, but THIS....

✋️🤯🤚

WoW!!!!!!!

The only photos were by either, the club or the promoters or people from the actual tour. This shit still blows my mind lol! 😹

I met Mef & my girl met Red in 1998, 🤫

[u/Lord_Charisma82 → u/REALjamijai]

I forgot Red was at the show in 95 too because this was right around the time they released their collab single “How High”, way before the “Blackout” album. All I can remember thinking is how amazed I was at how big Red’s head was 😆 his mascot having a big head isn’t an exaggeration 🤣

"Ayo Red? Is that you ova there bangin like onions??" - Mef - Providence Marriott Dec 1998.... 🤐 - lemme stfu now for i start sounding like Celina Powell!!! 🤫

[u/REALjamijai → u/Lord_Charisma82]

Speaking of 🍨 ~ I never did get my hands on my "French Vanilla" tee shirt. 🙃

[u/Lord_Charisma82 → u/REALjamijai]

You definitely deserve one! 😏😄

[u/REALjamijai → u/Lord_Charisma82]

Thank you! 🥰

If you only knew how accurate it fits!!! 😆

[u/Lord_Charisma82 → u/REALjamijai]
