More clarification on the phrase Urban Clothing

The Urban Shop have this theme going on and are regularly dropping articles like this that poke fun almost at the way the industry and media like to give things names which are in the main meaning less and usually pointless, that said they do make interesting reading

Original Post the-urban-shop.blogspot.com At the start of the decade, hip-hop was on fire. Record sales were booming, chart-topping artists seemed to pop up daily and the music generated a whole new fashion look. Musicians and producers like Jay-Z, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Beyonc� Knowles and 50 Cent were eager to extend their brands into apparel, spawning labels such as G-Unit, Rocawear and Sean John. The result was what seemed to be a newly formed urban clothing sector, boosting the industry’s revenues by millions. Today, record sales are plummeting and many music artists’ lines are struggling. As hip-hop’s popularity has dropped, so has that of the clothing brands that rode the wave, rapper 50 Cent and Marc Ecko parted ways on the G-Unit brand, and independent urban clothing stores have either shutting or being scaled down.

UK Hip Hop Rapper LATE

Rare exclusive interview with UK rapper LATE for The Urban Shop

Original Post the-urban-shop.blogspot.com Where are you from and what was it like growing up there? I’m from Wolverhampton AKA Wolftown, The city of broken dreams and failed dodgy schemes its like any other working class area of the UK, I’ve done fair share of dodgyness, been around all the wrong things, lost a lot of people on the way, just like anyone that hasn’t grew up in cotton wool. How did you get your name and is there a story behind it? It was my tag back in the day, I was a graffiti artist back in the day, I was all city, I was wanted, my tag was mentioned on the news Was there a situation or a person who inspired you to rap? It was a natural progression from dj’ing and mastering the 4 elements of hip hop, B-Boying, graffiti, dj’ing right thru to mc’ing, my first influence to rap was when I heard ICE-T on the song ‘High Rollers’.

Dizzee Rascal UK Grime @ Shepherd’s Bush Empire

I wasn’t a big fan of Dizzee I heard his first single and it all sounded the same after that but then whilst in Europe I saw a live performance and man the guy rocks.

Original Post www.thisislondon.co.uk He’s been ignored by this week’s Brit Awards, but Dizzee Rascal certainly isn’t lacking mainstream appeal. Plenty of middle-aged fans actually witnessed this return from the 22-year-old rapper Dylan Mills. Which is surprising because my general experience of grime and UK hip-hop has been that it’s only really listened to on snazzy mobile phones by surly youths at bus stops.
