Urban Brands...

Are there ANY "urban brands" that you at least repect?? it doesn't necesarily mean "Hip-Hop", just a brand that you may give credit for being alittle different from the norm, and why?

not to sound elitist, but i think you'll find more like-minded people on Superfuture than here - for the most part (not entirely) there is just no interest in the urban brands on these boards. but maybe you can start something and see if it catches on...

I was going to suggest superfuture or supertalk but I wasn't sure if i was allowed too lol
