Clothes make the man. -Mark TwainI always thought the above quote was some bullshit, Ilaldo. To me, the MAN always made the clothes moreso than the other way around. Lord knows I done seen Kanye and Pharrell wear summa the most fruity, questionably homeaux shit ever, but they can get away with it because, hell, they're talented, world-famous millionaires. Likewise, I'm sure all of y'all remember the rich bougie nigga from your school who kept all the name brand gear, but underneath it all was still a fuckin cornball. Like, the nigga would get his parents to cop him the new Jordans, but he'd fuck it up by lacin them joints up so tight that the sides would touch, and be rockin them shits with some tapered leg corduroy pants.
With "Good Clothes," I just wanted to make a 'flossy' song for the average nigga. The cat that's stayin clean and makin the most with what they have. Ain't nuttin wrong with a white tee as long as its pressed, starched, and not 6 sizes too big. It's easy to get on TV and brag about rockin $1100 jeans when you ain't paid for 'em (mosta these rap/athlete/celebrity niggas get they shit for free...trust...)
Being that Pooh was pretty 'ehhh' on this beat until I presented him with the concept and hook idea, we thought it would be fitting for him to give you an exclusive look at
his good clothes:
