The West Coast has been making a lot of noise recently with a couple up and coming rappers like, Nipsey Hussle, Blu and Fashawn (who just dropped a dope mixtape). They've been buzzin' so loud many people are starting to believe they can bring about a California rap renaissance. We can dig it. For this weeks "How to Dress Like" post we decided to take it back to the left coast and pay homage to the laid back style that dominated not only the music of the '90s, but the movies too. This week, Menace II Society and Friday are releasing a special director's cut DVD. Can anyone say Converse and Dickies? Read on to learn how you can recreate the looks of our favorite characters from these two west coast classics...

i don't think people should be dressing like these dudes....come on, can't black style be inspired by some positive role models
dave September 11th, 2009 at 09:46 PM
why the F U C K would anyone want to dress like this? come on complex, slow day huh?
jj fad September 11th, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Blank T's crew necks dickies and vans or chucks That's all you need, and what I've been wearing since I was born back 30 years back. classic. Now explain to me why I should spend 200 on some jordan retro. Every brand you listed beside hanes and dickies is unnecessary for this. 40 dollars tops. 17 dollars for one pair of tube socks wtf? Go Dodgers all day.

word is bond you must not know shit about sneakers. those are Flights, not forces. get it right
Wow September 13th, 2009 at 02:38 AM
This a pretty pathetic article, and its the first one Ive ever read from complex, and what a shit way to start out. Who the fuck would drop upwards of $400 to look like O Dog from a movie thats on the fringe of still being remembered. And who the fuck would want to read about it? And COME ON, if youve seen menace 2 society you would know that O DOG wouldnt spend $200 on jeans, only a real dum dickhead would, im betting the author of this article buys obey condoms with a picture of Obama on the head and HOPE down the side cuz they cost more.

Complex Editors, don't think that because we like HIP HOP that we don't like STYLE. Come on Complex give us something to be INSPIRED by, not HOLD us BACK. YOU CAN DO BETTER
Samo September 13th, 2009 at 07:06 PM
