He he...I chose NORE as an inside joke to those who recognized my other aliases while I was going thru my banned stage, namely Animal Thug. :) I do like N.O.R.E. tho, ya figgadillme?


If you haven't read it, this is the most important NORE interview ever. Bizarro-gay-hate aside, the most hilarious thing I've read in my life. That dude is a madman.

Also: we're now over $21,000 and 30% of our goal. Just short of 500 backers. Thanks, everybody!

NORE interviews are cool and all, but don't make me link up the Classic CL Smooth vs. Pete Rock interview.
highlights include anecdotes about people getting shot in the barber chair, and his real estate agent wife making more money than Pete Rock.

PTO is awesome. At the very least, the show spreads enthusiasm and knowledge about something we're all passionate about here. In my case, I learned a lot from the videos and the blog so I'm -proud to donate.

Sounds like my life once upon a time. I've written about them on here somewhere when I was someone else...

Edit: found one summary. Here you go...

I rarely talk about [the gangsta] stuff I've done on teh interwebs. just things I've seen. For the exclusive you'd have to chat with me in person.

+1 I agree with Ich_Dien..
There was one episode of PTO where a guy demonstrated in about 20 seconds, a better way to tie shoelaces. That one powerful tip may be well known to an afficianado but would still benefit 95% of the general public. If each of the upcoming episodes were to be jam-packed with useful tips and information for the layman, they'll strike gold. This should be their goal, more useful content and less of hosts, trips and window dressing. The average man on the street has little interest and even less of an attention span for this topic, so doing the 'quick tips' format will create their audience and keep it. If they take it to that level, it wouldn't suprise me at all if they are picked up by mainstream TV and enjoy a livelihood out of this. Then they would have the platform and budget to enjoy lovely field trips and provide more diversity to the content, etc. I do sincerely wish them the best of luck in their endeavour. -peace


I explained this to my wife this morning and plan teaching both my children when they learn to tie their shoes. I like the blog and think it is a genuinely sincere effort r/e men's style and clothing.

Garnering the perspective from the above quote would be a wise choice. I would add a splattering of stylish shots with those you encounter on your journey.

Keep up the great work guys. I have watched everything and hope for more nuggets in the next season.

I think one thing that we're very concerned about is that we don't want to make a "tips & tricks" show. I agree that that's useful, and that's something that makes up part of what's going on on our blog, but I want the show to be about more than just alternative ways to tie your shoelaces and rules. One of the reasons we came up with the Rudiments segment was as a way to get past that stuff, with some humor, and try to get to stuff that's about people. I'm sure that has cost us audience, there are "how to tie a tie" videos on Youtube with hundreds of thousands of views I'm sure, but it's about what we want to spend our time and talent (such as it is) doing.

Not to impune your fine efforts or intentions but perhaps a combination of the two elements would be a good balance, providing something for the neophyte as well as the sartorialist. Please have a segment showing 10 ways to get rid of or creatively destroy square-toed shoes and the world will be in your debt. I wish you success on your series.
