It's Fashion Week here in New York, which means little more than a hassle for me at work.
However, it does give me the opportunity to reminisce about the day a few years back when I talked my way into blogging from Fashion Week and scored an interview with LL Cool J and called him the new cut creator. To this day, perhaps my greatest moment as a journalist.
That memory dug its way from my long-term memory cubby hole Monday morning, and ever since, I've been starvin' like Marvin for a Cool J song. That hunger pain caused me to forget Oreos and eat Cool J Cookies for Old School Tuesday.
Enjoy this week's selection from a time when rappers were talented, the beats were hot and the only thing that could outdo Kangols and gold chains were matching jumpsuits and awkward dance moves.
(If you've got suggestions for next week's edition of Old School Tuesday, post them in the comments.)
