    DO NOT FALL ASLEEP with those on tho they will kink the ? up quick

    It was cool that if you couldn't afford or didn't rock gold you could rock these and be just as fly

    That whole era of pro blackness influencing fashion was dope as ? .

    Couldn't find me without these on when I was 10 and 11 back in '93 and '94

    My stepfather SWORE Beta was gonna make a comeback. FInally, sometime in '89 my moms forced him to get a VHS machine so we didn't have to roll to Ferndale to the one spot in all of Metro Detroit that had rentals on Betamax.

    Can't front tho, Beta looked far better than VHS ever did.

    Nostalgia is such a good feeling. Makes you feel all warm and tingly inside.

    Magnum P.I. was like my white TV uncle. Never missed his shenanigans. In the spirit of those old action shows shout out to Hunter and The Equalizer.

    Yes! I got season one on DVD. That was one of my shows as a youngin.

    You know what's crazy. The average smartphone is more powerful than all those systems combined.

    That ain't much of a stretch. An old 486DX2-66 or 100 can run emulators for all of those old systems. I had emulators for all of those back in '97 when I was running a Compaq Prolinea 4/66 desktop.
