Damn Larry...Damn
 

I guess that big contract couldn't buy him taste or brains. Sheesh!

looks like he's getting ready to spit.
sec

He wants to be a gangsta so bad....ROFL

Still blows Clinton Portis' Bob the Builder 3 piece suit out of the water.

love the hat.

How do you get "gangsta" from that pic?

Red laces means he's a wannabe Blood, or a wannabe White Supremacist.

right colors.... but sheesh

I don't get gangsta, but I do get mom needs to lay his clothes out for him.

Stacy and Clinton would tell him he matches too much.

Never go full reerun Larry. :shake:

Maybe it was laundry day.

Everything is more-or-less fine except for the hat. The hat sets it all off and makes the whole ensemble a joke. OK, the swatch is pretty dumb, but the hat is the major culprit.

Plaid and camoflage? It screams backwoods redneck to me.

His complete attire is full of fail. The hat just makes it worse.

Camo pants........hes a ****in soldier baby.

aaaaaaaaah...Erkel is all grown up!

Is Larry Johnson gay?

threw up a little in my mouth.

Cute pink watch band.

Those are the new Chiefs uniforms for 2009.

LJ was just testing them out and about...we all knew Pioli would bring change.

ROFL:o)

A total wanna be. He's a suburban black kid that never had to want for anything. he has really turned out to be a complete joke of humna being. Selfish asshole.

Is it possible it's a joke/spoof....his way of making fun, of someone? :spock:

If not, the dude is totally whacked...ship his ass to Cleveland or Baltimore or something. :shake:

This forum is so white.

When my psycho got kicked out of his Christmas party for fighting, he was found outside, making the Larry Johnson/Jay Z diamond symbol with his hands at people in the inside.

...

I blame Jay Z for all of this.

Black, White, Yellow, Red, or....Fusha or Jade.

That outfit screams pathetic and ugly....for anyone who can afford to dress decently---even hip-hop style decent is okay.

That shit is just weak, unless you live in a government housing development. :shake:

Yeah, he's definitely trying to pull off a modernized 1990 Compton blood but ends up looking like a ****ing joke.

I saw a different pic that showed the writing on the hat. It says, "Kiss me, I'm a KNUCKLEHEAD. (I think I went poopy in my diaper)"

Where the **** do you even find a hat like that? Holy crap.

ROFL

This makes me think of the scene from Lean On Me where Morgan Freeman bitches out the punk in the middle of the cafeteria:

"I want all of you to take a good look at this slovenly, sloppy boy - as an example of how NOT to dress. If you look like THIS in the morning, find some other clothes to wear. Self-respect permeates every aspect of your existence. If you don't have respect for yourself, you're not gonna get it from anyone else."

This just in!

"Diamond Cutter fashions files for bankruptcy".

And L7.
:D

Money well spent.

They come with the Fathead wall stickers for your room. For an extra $2, the company will throw in a ShamWow to put in your diaper for maximum absorbency.

Why ya'll gotta be hatin on a brotha?





(that was in no way intended to sound as racist as it did)

Racist.

damn it.

I'm wondering why grown men care what Larry Johnson wears to a club on his own time.
:shrug:

"And one more thing, fellow babies; BOOOOOOOOOOOOGER"!

You think they laugh at mullets
firebirds and porn staches now
what 15 years when this shit passes

Is Larry trying to be the modern day Flavor Flave?

http://www.aolcdn.com/ch_bv/flavor-f...400a111606.jpg

Men never grow up we just get older.

Hey man

You know where someone could score a "Lid" like the one Larry is wear'n?

You know just in case we were in the market?

Socially speaking, because he was on TMZ posing for a camera. National exposure of our hero is always exciting for a Chiefs fan. Less so when he looks like a clown.

Psychologically speaking, how people behave in public is probably a good indication of their personalities. Personalities do much to influence a work ethic. The personality and work ethic of a hero would be of concern to a Chiefs fan. Plus, he totally looks like a dude that beats chicks. Don't tell me I have to disclaimer that joke.

Feminally speaking, grown men are just like grown women. Gossip mongering whores, the lot of them.

Inquisitivly speaking, is there an outfit Larry Johnson could wear that would make you look askance at him?

If had his money, I would wear the nicest Italian suits you could imagine.

Rather look like a clown
than a douche bag

Matters not to me.
He's no more or less important because he made his way onto a smut journalism site.

I seriously doubt it. Larry Johnson is his own man.
His apparel choices are of no consequence to me.

Futhermore, who is to say what is and isn't appropriate or acceptable fashionably speaking?

I think a lot of this has to do with the attitudes toward certain cultures that some are incapable of identifying with.

Larry has indeed lost his mind.

Where was he at? A club in Vegas? Not would i would wear, but I see nothing wrong with it for the situation. Its not like he was going to a job interview.


Some of you guys need to lighten up.

Fashion by definition is culturally defined as what is popular. A skirt is just a skirt until society deems it cute, then it becomes fashion.

So we get to say.

And if the latter is in reference to the American Urban Black Male attire, thats crap. The outfit isn't culturally significant to the hood, to hunting, or to good taste anywhere.

If I had his money I'd still shop at J.C. Penny. He can wear whatever he likes. It looks like a costume party being that red is the theme.

You may find one in a garage in Powhatton, KS.

He's black, so he must be trying to be gangsta.

You're absolutely entitled.
What baffles me is why anyone would observe their right to sound off on another man's fashionable expression?

It's celeb voyeurism and it's the very reason why TMZ exists.

LMAO
Who made you the arbiter of what is culturally significant to any culture other than your own?

Again, it's your own personal opinion of the man's attire. That's largely rooted in how disaffected you are from the culture that welcomes and characterizes that style of dress as "normal".

Are you able to comment on how this outfit might be significant?

Is Larry, who grew up in an middle to upper-middle class suburb able to comment? Isn't that more the point?

With regard to either, I'd be interested in hearing how this outfit is culturally significant, but I don't think Larry, himself, has any credibility in this regard. Thus the mocking.

But he's from central Pennsylvania. ROFL

Larry Johnson was born and raised in the U.S. He's a part of my culture. Just because he's black doesn't mean he's so drastically different from me. I've been known to beat a bitch.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I've watched the men iron creases into their jeans since long before I could walk. And they did it without looking like absolute idiots. And they did it while totally existing in MY culture.

Just because I'm dressed as a cop doesn't mean I am one...

Dave Chappelle

It's significant because it's an extension of Hip Hop culture and the fashionable expression that accompanies it.

This is why you're about as qualified to critique his expression as you are to sit on a panel with Quantam Physicists. Kanye West grew up every bit as Middle Class as Larry Johnson did. This idea that such fashionable expression is only authentic when expressed by the lower class is silly.

Culture is defined by the attitudes, tastes, and behaviors favored by a particular group.

What more needs to be said?

Get over yourselves.

A part of American culture? Certainly, but let's not pretend that there aren't other cultures within American culture that are every bit as significant. Sub-cultures that you may not identify with.

Fair enough, but the fact that the two of you both grew up in America doesn't necessarily make you a-alikes either.

That particular phenomenon is easily 15 years old by now.
This is a much different time.

And again, you're only representing your opinion.
I know people who happen to think ironing creases into their jeans (largely West Coast culture) was corny. Corny back then even.

His admitted idol and model is Jay Z.
Can you imagine Jay Z in that outfit?

Hip Hop is do what you will with what you got. Cool for him that he's chosen to make people laugh. Thats really is a good thing.

As a fan of Jay-Z's since his foray into the mainstream began in 1996...
It's not as difficult to imagine as you'd like to think.

I'm certain that he's losing sleep over what people think of his choice in fashion.

Come on.

And this is coming from a person who would never wear that outfit either.

My point is simply, who cares?

The questions I asked were in earnest, so I don't know why you're saying, "Get over yourselves."

Larry's expression, to me, rings hollow. When I look at him or hear him talk about how difficult he has it and has had it, I see a person who desperately wants to be something he's not.

He's the consummate wannabe from high school.

Under no circumstances.

There is NOTHING gangsta about that look.

Sigh. You just like to argue. I don't really care if you liked the creasing, it was what was popular. Black Urban American Men made it so.

So. What subculture am I missing? I grew up with Hip Hop and Breaking. I went through a hockey player spell so there was much Heavy Metal and Rock. My parents were Parrot Heads, so I can hang with the hippies. Played with strippers who spend their days being as Pop as possible.

Whatever subculture Larry is representing that I'm unaware of, they have horrible...And I mean just horrible... taste in clothes.

I've always heard he's a "wannabe", but I'm wondering what does he want to be?

I keep hearing the term "gangsta" being used to characterize his look.
The word is being misused.

That's only "gangsta" to those who don't truly identify with the culture.
Those who do find that laughable.

Sir, that was only popular in certain places.
In others that particular style was poked fun at.
Don't lose the forest Kat.

The point I'm making is that it's one opinion. And while your opinion is valid it does not supercede all of the opinions available that may differ from it.

That's precisely where this form of fashionable expression is derived from.

Thank you Calvin Klein.
We will henceforth acknowledge you as the foremost authority on apparel.
ROFL

Fair enough. I understand what you're saying here.

But when you listen to the lyrics from a Jay-Z album, don't you see some similarities with how Larry tries to present himself and the "struggles" he's been through in his life?

This is what I find ironic. And much of what Larry does seems to be an extension of this.

I freely admit that I might be wrong.

That would obviously be a good idea for you.

I don't know that he's ever truly done that.
I've heard Johnson speak on struggles along race lines, but never along class lines.

I can't say that I've ever heard him misrepresent his childhood and how he was brought up.

Good point. I might be conflating.

My vision is no doubt clouded because I see LJ as a disingenuous little bitch who has had the world by the balls but still finds a way to whine.

It would take some serious convincing to get me to change this view of him.

How about I don't and say I did?
:D

My view of him isn't much different.
I'm FAR from an LJ apologist.

And I pat myself on the back for calling it EARLY on.
I said a long time ago when he publicly challenged Eric Hicks to finish an on-the-field fight in the streets that he was a problem.

No one listened to me.

I'm just curious and am in no way trying to start an argument, but do you believe that being a part of one culture, in this case, the black culture, that it should define you? Doesn't it bother you to lump everyone into one category? I'm really not trying to be argumentative, I am really honestly curious. I get frustrated when people try to equate me with all women, as if we are all alike... isn't it fair to say that perhaps Larry Johnson is a man all his own, apart from the black "gangsta" (for lack of a better word and to use the one that's already being thrown around) culture and perhaps him trying to be that man conflicts with this "culture" you are equating him with, hence this hideous outfit?

Culture defines us all.
I identified Hip Hop culture though. Not Black culture.
Which aren't exactly a 1:1. They overlap, but are still distinct circles.

I'm wondering where I did that?
I said that his fashionable expression is derived from Hip Hop culture.
How does that equate to all of Hip Hop let alone Black culture?

Why does such a distinction need to be made?
Larry Johnson or the guy two doors down... This form of fashionable expression is absolutely derived from Hip Hop culture. That can't even be argued.

And again, if you think the outfit is hideous you're entitled...
But I'm certain you own something that he'd think was hideous.
It's a matter of taste.

Can we get past that?
