Commonwealth Sneak Dissing a certain popular brand?

[SayWord]

http://www.inqmnd.ca/site/#tableOfContents-features_36

IQRMND: "what brand(s) are you not feeling at the moment?"

CMON: "I think there are brands out there that don't get by on merit of design and quality of product, but get the thumbs up 'cause they are nice guys and have a blog or pictures with other credible designers with brands. Forget about "Stop Snitching" or "Stop Co-signing" for mediocrity. I think it's pretty suspect when good labels co-sign for another brand they know is not hot. It's cool to be friends but seriously, sayin' your man's shit is hot 'cause he's your man is suspect. It makes your taste questionable itself, let companies and their products prove themselves."

Now I'm not trying to stir up anything, but given c'mon wealth sells mostly all the major players except for 1 in particular (which I couldn't figure out why until now) and the things said in that statement, concludes me to think that some sneak dissing is going on...

[Visciouskix]

hmmm... we got a beef between a brand and store hmmmm.... interesting...

[c.lopez]

wat brand is it?

let us know.. so we can argueee

[UKingdom]

what brand

[DUM]

He's nodding that maybe Cmon was saying somethig about The Hundreds.

[jimmaye]

i don't know if they were trying to diss them or not, but i'm sure this topic will reach like 20 pages regardless. people like threads about beef.

[iRyceboi]

the hundreds?

[jediknight]

there is dick riding all over the place

[c.lopez]

yea i was thinking towards the Hundreds too but fuck CMonwealth... the hundreds is fiya and cool peoples..

[SayWord]

if you listen to the Hundreds weekly drop episode, What this c'monwealth owner says parralles what bobby said, when he was talking about how they do their thing. While I'm a fan of the hundreds, I do think some stuff they put out is like "huh?".

[SayWord]

who cares

That would be me, I'm the topic creator.

[DUM]

It would make sense for Cmonwealth to dislike Bobby because of the whole Pharrel thing. I don't think anyone really cares though.

what was the pharrell thing

[SayWord]

And I didn't want to put the hundreds out like that cause like I said I'm not trying to start shit, AND I know bobby visits this site, so I didn't want to fuck his shit up, but I guess it's too late now.

i don't know how you could start a thread like this and not expect people to ask questions, but i wouldn't worry about it.

I didn't mention their name cause I thought people would know what I'm talking about.


And they were the first to put up the plain gravy "pharrell can't skate" shirt.

I didn't even think about that either dum

[B.Hicks]

yea, i was thinking the same thing when reading this.. and i've been wondering for awhile why Cmonwealth fucks with damn near every streetwear BUT The Hundreds.. especially considering their recent popularity boost with the Paisleys.

i figured it was something personal that was going on between the two. to be honest, sometimes TH makes you think "WTF??" but allot of times they just drop thought provoking tees. and that's why i fuck with them the way i do.

[trungtao]

I don't know why anyone would be upset over that "Pharrell Can't Skate" shirt.
I mean, it's probaly the truth, he can't skate. He skated in his youth, but not now.

It's just that skateboard kids and the whole industry gets butthurt when someone from outside the scene starts a company. I know this cause I have skated for many years and have never seen such a backlash towards a company (Ice Cream). Sure the Ice Cream team isn't that great, but Kevin Booker is pretty good.

Personally, I think Ice Cream is good for skating. I think it's good they make higher end skate apparel, if you will. Sort of along the lines of Supreme, but not really.

Sorry I'm totally off topic... But I'm just trying to relate, why would Commonwealth or Pharrell be upset over that shirt anyways.

Jimmy Gorecki is the only skater I like out of the ice cream skate team.

The Hundreds is dope CommonWealth sucks anyways.

[trungtao]

Really? I like his personality but I was sort of dissapointed with his video part.

well, Pharrell is the 3rd partner in Cmonwealth.. so they're affiliate.. if a brand is openly affiliated with another brand that makes a tee comin' at your bussiness partner, i can understand why you wouldn't order product from them. there's also variables involved in a situation like that though.

[SayWord]

This is off topic, but when lupe was on WD, he said it perfectly. You don't have to be a pro to be a skateboarder. Skating isn't all about doing half cabs and shit. Just riding one constitutes as skating.

[jediknight]

Anthony Williams skates for ice cream and he is really dope

[trungtao]

How can Pharrell have time to skate when he's always under the desk slobbing on Nigo's ding dong. That's why Nigo never smiles he has that face you always have when you're about to nut. Like ughhhhhhh thizzzzzzz

[SayWord]

but yea I didn't think of it like that, maybe he just said all that stuff to justify?

[B.Hicks]

exactly. and that's really just common sense..
basically people are saying i can't profess my love for basketball if i can't 360 dunk.

or i shouldn't start a football team if i can't make a one handed catch.

it's rediculous. if pharrel or lupe aren't claiming to be Tony Hawks, don't call them posers.. they're not pretending to be anything they're not.

[trungtao]

It's true but you know the skate kids, they're very fickle about things like this. I was when I was a teenage wee skating along.

[contaygious]

whateva, hundreds ain't hot *takes off paisley hoodie*

[SayWord]

lol

[DUM]

Every subculture is quick to call someone a poser. Not just skaters.

I thought the tee was funny...and it made sense.

yeah watch your mouth bobby might be dissapointed and skip you next time of the dickriding list

aww Hizzler you got to it first. :o

[Johnny B]

I personally know, grew up with, and skated with the Owners of Commonwealth. Larry had the biggest 1/2 pipe in tidewater in his back yard for years before Trashmore openned. Same with Omar. Everyone around us from that era turned pro. Heck, Surgie is still skating. Winsor Woods!

[andnothingless]

i seriously doubt that the hundreds were intentionally trying to rip off anything and irak. people need to get their head out of their asses..i wouldnt wear any of the designs posted except for maybe the bottom right kool shirt.

[jjs home]

honestly who cares

if it is what ya'll trying to say it is its just a store and a guy who skates taking s stab at some guys who make the clothes they wanna make. Its funnier to me that they are purposely trying to cause the rip. I'm chalking it up to hating and a hater is a cornball anyways so to me they look like cornballs for hating. If they dno't wanna stock the products I'm al for that because thats their right, but trying to sneak diss just so it get discussed via the internet is some silliness and it proves they care too much, because you don't see the hate going he other way.

be all end all why do they care?

as far as the supposed biting thing, please like 8-% of the streetwear market looks likes biting. i dunno if they dit on purpose, but I doubt it, that whole "cool guy" handle came to a biol in the last year so seeing it on made shirts was inevitable. What the market draws from to cmoe up with designs is usually so obvious anyways that its bound to happen over and over again

[FORT HOME]

Take tha comments fo what they are worth....truth

I agree 100%

[hellah fresh]

whateva, hundreds ain't hot *takes off paisley hoodie*

LOL Rep the wrong color in the wrong place and get your wig split and blown.

[nobueno]

Next thing you know we'll be seeing blog entries about someone being upset because one company used the same color as another company...

[oldboy]

cmonwealth can eat a big fat d...

[Milly]

I love how ya'll quick to pick sides.

[steppingrazor]

wheres irak on the whole simpsons parody thing....hmmmmmm i bet all those street vendors and mishka were biting them TOO!

[Larry Hizzler]

Too much elitist keep it real attitude man, I mean "Kool Guy" is not a revolutionary term. I mean people around the way here been using that the same way in reference to streetwear cats for the longest.

That chick Leah from MOB on riottt vision was reffering to Irak beefing, I dunno with who specifically.

This is off topic but what do you guys think about the whole fuct obey beef?

http://www.brghtnghts.com/blog/?page_id=33

[louiearchibald]

Either quit being such a pussy and say the name of the brand you're talking shit on or, get over it.

And, as was previously mentioned, realize that the shit-flinging is only coming from your side of the fence.

Who the hell wants to sell their product in a store that pushes BBC anyway?

[harrysax]

it doesn't really matter it is 1 brand against 1 store i'm sure hundreds don't care about cmonwealth stocking their stuff there are a bunch of retailers who do carry their product and i'm pretty sure cmonwealth is still making $$ so stop trying to turn this shit into something bigger than it is

[Jay_Bird]

exactly. and that's really just common sense..
basically people are saying i can't profess my love for basketball if i can't 360 dunk.

or i shouldn't start a football team if i can't make a one handed catch.

it's rediculous. if pharrel or lupe aren't claiming to be Tony Hawks, don't call them posers.. they're not pretending to be anything they're not.



thats real shit though

I always see people bashing them two,but they never claim to be pros

they just do it out of the love

lupe made one song about skateboarding,and now he is fucked

[curiouscharles]

whatever, the hundreds is a shitty label, good for cmonwealth for not selling it

[wallydykstra]

What is beef?

And yes, you should get near a football field if you can't make a one handed catch, I mean come on bro...

[SayWord]

whoa I didn't think people would take sides.

It's just crazy cause What bobby was saying in WD is true, ALL of these brands and stores need to stick together, fuck the beef.

to bad the hundreds tee is a COMPLETELY different concept than the other 3 tees. and if you're exing the bottom two out, than ex out the anythingxfutura tee.. it's just that same fucking font that he uses on EVERY collab tee. no type of concept... streetwear should stop dickriding futura and his mediocre collab tees.

[SayWord]

word on that

i normally agree with you but....... The concept IS different but the whole "kool guy" phrase was something A-ron et al. starting rocking hard and (as alot of shit does) cuz of that it stuck in the "streetwear" game. IMO The only reason the Hundreds crew is aware of the kool guys shit is cuz of the popularity of the LES heads in the scene. A-ron even explained the whole birth of "kool guys" in the NY times article from awhile ago.
I dont think theyre complaining about the lack of concept (I honestly dont even think theyre complaining) just commenting on how the game tends to get saturated by similar (read: bitten) ideas. plus theyre not dickridng a futura collab tee cuz that shirt IS a futura collab, maybe ur issue is with futura himself tho.

[THIEF]

EAST VS. WEST

[emazingsole]

if u dont like the hundreds dont wear it... but how can u not love the bomb logo? and who cares about cmon not having it, do u really want to pay the $15 shipping for a tee anyway?

I know one thing, if u wear the kool guys shirt u better be cool

that really should have ended this thread right there. enough said.

[bobbyhundreds]

I won't even comment on Omar and Commonwealth.

As for IRAK's KOOL GUYS, I've been saying "COOLGUY" since I was in the 7th grade... Along with everyone else here in Southern California. Even better than that, I've been writing entire blog-posts about COOLGUYS for the past YEARS. Entire TOPICS about it. And yes, I have documentation. So who's to say we didn't get bit? Especially considering I make t-shirt graphics 3 seasons ahead and show this stuff at the tradeshows all year long.

None of us even really care that much. But yeah, aint it funny how heads need to diss through the internet instead of hitting us up directly.. funny how facts get twisted..aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight then sheeeeeeeeun.

Period.

[emmanuelabor]

I know one thing, if u wear the kool guys shirt u better be cool

best part of this entire thread

lol

big up to joey semz irak crew, killed it with the graf now killin it with the tunes 8)

Actually, their shipping charges are $8 per item, but you're also not counting the fact that they don't charge tax and most OS's do. Obviously this supposed beef is merely a personal issue, but either way I'm still purchasing The Hundreds gear (Since they're one of my favorite brands.) and I'm still going to order from Commonwealth.

[SayWord]

yea after bobs last post it's looking that way

[elprezzo]

man, ya know graff cats dont like biting...in graff thats like a cardinal sin...so Im not suprised they mad about that...

but uuh, bobby, I dont recall cats out here calling each other cool guys...just speaking the real...I cant speak on outside of LA, but in the city they dont say that...

lol treated the 100's, virginia? fuck that hick ass state

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Like Illinois is some urban epicenter besides having Chicago.

[louiearchibald]

MAYBE THE HUNDREDS CAN SELL, BUT ITS LOWER CALIBRE THAN THE OTHER BRANDS C'MPN SELLS.

YOU DON'T SEE 3SIXTEEN THERE

if you're going to sit here and take the time to talk shit on a brand, why not take just as much time to look up how to spell certain words in the dictionary?

and this "lower calibre" you speak of, what exactly are your qualifications for that? i'm sitting here trying to figure out how they're lower than 10 deep, in4mation or BBC - isn't it all just personal preference?

and this whole coolguy issue; it's fuckin slang. how's anyone going to sit here and talk about who originated it, and that the hundreds crew would have never heard of it if aron hadn't started it. my friends and i threw that shit around in sixth grade and i can guarantee you we didn't know who the fuck aron was.

all this dickriding? it's called fuckin brand integrity. how's anyone going to respect a company that sits there and bites off of everyone else? if you followed the brand and looked at the shit they put out, it'd be very easy to differentiate between them and dickriders. case in point - every season they put out shirts that are over at least half of their customers' heads and in turn, they don't sell as well. so why do this? passion; it's more than just the money. it's not that difficult to sit here and deduce what ugly ass shirt/sweater would sell out at DG in a day [insert LRG dead serious joke here] but clearly, they choose not to go that route.

[casanova]

This is off topic, but when lupe was on WD, he said it perfectly. You don't have to be a pro to be a skateboarder. Skating isn't all about doing half cabs and shit. Just riding one constitutes as skating.

^^cosign...so true.. i call my self a sneaker head but i dont have hundreds off kicks..i dont even have a hundred kicks..does that make me a 'poser'...

[BWS]

who the fuck wears commonwealth anyways.

[casanova]

But yeah, aint it funny how heads need to diss through the internet instead of hitting us up directly

Period.

statements kinda true...

[trife]

Okay, eff the nonsense. I think what's really important here is when we'll be able to pick these tees up from shopthehundreds.com.

If I learn anything from this post, I would like it to be that.

[Jones Soda]

yeah i would like to know too since all of the stuff i want seems to be sold out in sizes.

[zev 1]

who the fuck wears commonwealth anyways.

funniest part of the thread

[RedOraNYC]

the list could go on

[bigsink]

Why does Cmonwealth have to sell The hundreds?

Bun B is on a mission to make sure the Hundreds is in every Dr Jays and Against All Odds in the US

[GORILLARMS]

the hundreds diss lol

[sirlagsalot]

commonwealth should worry more about sending out there orders or replying to the people who's orders they cancel and less about what the streetwear brands are doing. i'm still waiting on a reply as to where my crooks hoodies went.

[bigsink]

call them it only takes 10 seconds

[smk]

i dont see how commonwealth can sit there and talk shit about how TH run there company. i find it commendable bobby is friends with others in the street wear community and actually takes time to express him self and let us know whats on his mind though his blogs. its kinda hipocritial to say that type of shit when commonwealth its self wouldnt be here if they didnt know pharrell. and icecream wouldnt be nearly as success if pharrell didnt know nigo. ive said it many times before that if not for the relationship between bbc and bape the whole line would have folded a week after it droped. thers no way that icecream could make it off its own merit. foreal look at TH vs icecream/bbc. TH seem to actually put some thought into what they put out. unlike icecream who seem to be content with puting out overpriced lack luster product. also pharrell should have known he'd get some back lash, i mean its one thing to like skate boarding (hell i think the skate culture is dope) but to run around calling your self skate board p is fuckin stupid. tony hawk doesnt do that shit and hes regaurded as one of the best. so any crap pharrell take for that is rightfully diserved. this dude is starting to give va a bad name8)
