So MCs and DJs who thought they were nice and Get upset like Buster did to Tyson That wasn't the plan and he's still my man Since he beat up Mitch Green outside Dapper Dan
In 1987-1988 , my crew - 8 young kids " 22 posse" from Mt Vernon ( we all were 12 & 13 yrs of age)... took the bus and train up to Harlem ( Dapper Dans ) to look at the photo book of his outfits at his store...its was an Amazing moment !
So glad that he is finally getting his props. I think it's Gucci that gave him a store in his old neighborhood, back in the day they shut him down and then years later stole his ideas and started making the same suits and jackets that he was making, years later they realize that they were wrong and gave him a store and now he has unlimited rights to do what he likes!
Saidu Fofanah//// I understand that it is a business,, but don’t shut him down then steal all of his ideas and looks for your clothing line hire him ,, put him on your team,,, BUT THATS WHAT THEY DO!!!!! We where not allowed or looked down upon when we tried to buy from there stores!!!!
This guy is inspirational, am going to get a football jersey and write his name at the back so that more people can know of him in our part of the world. Respect from Kenya🇰🇪
I want to buy cloths thats called "Dapper Dan" aint nothing better then that .... No need for gucci they follow us hip hop and the streets so the world will follow Dan the man !
Read James We as black people set the tone for the WHOLE WORLD for music, fashion, dance, the we talk( language and slag words) is even something as simple as a hand shack,,, the next time you see to white dudes on tv greet each other watch how they do it,, THE HAND SHAKE THEN THE BACK SLAP!!!! WACTH AND SEE!!!!
my name is Earl, I was one of the first worker's that worked for him when he first opened up, and years later he fired me because way back my oldest and only brother` hood named(Black mike) had robbed Danny at a gambling joint,back then the original workers was troy,ramell,big Boomer, liz, both of Dannys brothers(Ceazar whose son Darrell had gotten murdered,and Dannys brother that looked like him a little bit),Those was definitely the best days of HARLEM WORLD N.Y.C! !!
Will someone ask Dapper Dan in an interview how did he purchase those different Realms of fabric from those different companies underground (black market) or from those companies without them knowing who was purchasing them! (Nice interview)
where you think he got them from ha ha that's why y'all don't know him he hustle the throw aways in the garment center i can say because that's my man dap from 130 the street so i go back farther than most of y'all
@@williamwatt7874....that's great(I hope you detect my sarcasm here) that you feel like you know him and can answer the question for us but I still would like to here Dan answer for himself.
He answered the question in his new book, "Dapper Dan, Made in Harlem". He basically printed the logos on the fabric he purchased; he goes into great detail about it. The book was pretty good, I enjoyed it.
"Welcome to hell, where ur welcome to sell/but when them shells come, u better return em/all scars, we earn em, all cars, we learn em like the back of our hand/we watch for cops hoppin out the back of vans/wear a G on my chest, I don't need DAPPER DAN/
this is Earl johnson again, I was also looking out my mothers apartment window when Danny went for his regular morning jogging and some amateurs tried to kidnap him,he beat them off with no weapons! ! ! (I wonder if he remembers that? )...
It's so easy to trace a multitude of contemporary trends directly to Dapper Dan as a designer, he's ridiculously under-credited. All the current Louie V/Gucci Air Force 1 cut-out designs, All over print designer du-rags, Kuh-vit customs, Gucci's 2018 cruise collection. I'm only tracing the most recent influences.

J. Cooper if you were in Gucci’s position would you not shut him down?
@@saidufofanah2210 if It was out of hate yes I would. but me being pan African I wouldn't I'll build with my culture for the next generation of years.
@@longliveart4362 Gucci isn't our culture and they're not in it for the culture. They're in it to profit. You can't let someone steal from you.
@@teemigo6921 you right

Love you dapper dan
Crazy how people feelings change about this man with this Gucci 😠😤😡 shit
Its so disrespectful and sad.
A freakin legend.
The truly great are not included in the big photo opp , they are even outsiders to what they created
I always wanted one of those fly ass outfits but I was too young in the early 80’s.
I always remember earl's verse when i read his name.
incredible person
Dapper Dan the man the legend salute ❤💪💪
O.g
i want that gucci jacket that alpo had.
BLK NIGGA THAT JOINT WAS SO NICE!!! A 1of1
