Last-Minute Holiday Gifts For A Hip-Hop Head [Photos] - Page 3
Christmas is just two days away, and you still haven’t curated all your gifts? No worries, we got you covered with some choice last-minute Holiday gifts.
It goes without saying that Hip-Hop heads are choosy bunch. So here are some gifts that will have you looking like a genius, for cultural purposes.
Bevel Trimmer – $199.95: The Bevel Trimmer—rapper Nas is an investor in the company—is so popular it’s not even available right way, sign up to cop and get on the wait list. Or, cop the Bevel Shave System, which also prevent razor bumps.
Polo Bear Sweater – $194.99 – the Polo Bear sweater is a classic, and you don’t have to break the bank tracking down a vintage piece.
Call Of Duty – Infinite Warfare – $54.99: The “Legacy Edition” of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare also comes with Modern Warfare Remastered, so think of this as a 2-for-1. And it’s a Double XP weekend?! You’re welcome.
Versace Slippers – $75 – Everyone is entitled to stunt now and again. At $75, not a deal at all.
M65 Field Jacket – $65 – Nas famously rapped “Sneak an uzi on the island in my army jacket lining.” Don’t do that, but an M65 field jacket is a trusty piece of outerwear. Rock it with respect, and you can’t beat that price.
adidas Original NMD Runner – $129.99 – The adidas NMD was one of 2016’s most popular sneakers. Don’t buy them to look at in the box, though. These are gift worth giving, or keeping for yourself.
Ultimate Breaks & Beats 30th Anniversary Bundle -$44.98 – The folks at Get On Down stay hooking up essential box sets, like their Purple Tape box set. Besides the breaks, you get a tee and a figurine.
“Breaks” or “breakbeats” first emerged in the formative days of the early 1970s, when a DJ in the Bronx, New York named Kool Herc popularized a sound based around the hard funk drums of James Brown. Herc kept the dancefloor jumping by isolating parts of the records with the “breakdown” – typically in the form of a percussion solo. Since these sections would always generate the most excitement from the dancers, why not continue the energy using two copies of the record? Herc’s cutting-edge practice of extending the break led to the emergence of “break boys” (aka b-boys), who would take the opportunity to showcase their best dance moves during these passages, hence the term “break dancing.”
Limited to just 86 copies. You may want to cop stat.
Destiny: The Collection – $59.99 – The Collection gives you two years of DLC content in one game—including the new Rise of Iron expansion. Trust, this is a keeper
