Interview #2 with O.J.....

Whats good people, well this is my 2nd interview and it with my man O.J from Saginaw,MI. O.J is a up and coming rapper from the Midwest area, so get to know his music. I got the chance to ask him a couple question related to his sneaker life, and also the Hip-Hop and fashion been as one. So I hope you the interview.

(Korey)How long have you been collection sneakers.

(O.J)I've been collecting on my own since about 2004, when moms & pops stop buying them & i had to do it on my own(laughs).


(Korey)How many pair do you own.

(O.J)In all honesty, about 20 & some pairs of shoes.

(Korey)How old where you, when you got your 1st of Jordan/Nike.

(O.J) I got my first pair of J's in 1st grade, it was the original 3's. I remember it like yesterday, cause they came in the real colorful box with that crazy tissue paper.

(Korey)Now I know you as a rapper, one of the best I heard from the underground. Now when you do a show, what yo show and outfit to show off that swagga.

(O.J) Thanks man, actually I'm a big Young Dro fan & he's one of the freshest in the game. So you might see me come with a linen suit and some Louie kicks. Or a pea coat with a fly scarf. That's just my kinda style on stage, plus the ladies go crazy!



(Korey)How do you think the Hip-Hop look down on the sneaker world?

(O.J)I think Hip Hop and sneakers have a strong connection, even before my time when Run DMC came with the Adidas. I mean New York artists made work boots cool, so I think it falls in line with one another.


(Korey) Do you think you can start you own little line, once you become famous, or you going to keep that to yourself.

(O.J) Yeah, I actually am in school for Fashion Design, that was my first passion. So when I get established I am most def get that poppin 1st. I used to be known for having the flyest painted shoes in town. So people used to pay me good money to have their kicks as fly as mine. I remember in Middle school I came in some 24 carat gold forces. Niggas was laughing then, but now look at them wearing Supra's and shit! I was one bold lil dude.





(Korey) Why do you think that the fashion world wanted to do a caloabo with hip-hop world, for example the new Adidas commercial with Jezzy, Method Man, and DMC.

(O.J) Cause it brings a different type of market, the Hip-Hop culture has such a big influence on fashion & teens. They're the ones who buy the majority of the sneaks, so if you connect to the hottest artists. You can connect to the youth, no matter how weird or how ugly the shoes might be.


(Korey)Well I wan to thank you for this interview, is there any last words you want to say, any information you wanna give to the people to get in contact with you. You know, so people know who you is, and what city you put on for.


(O.J) Naw man thank you! Oh yeah, my mixtape "Six Figure Swag" is still on sale, so holla at me. I rep Saginaw, Michigan aka Sag-Nasty. And yeah, im puttin on for my city indeed, especially on the music tip. Who else you know selling 23,000 mixtapes. Unheard around here !
