Polo is the best hip-hop clothing line
According to Last Week's Poll
Just in time for the beginning of the holiday shopping season (note the timeliness of this week's poll as well), last week's poll focused on which is the best of several prominent hip-hop clothing lines.
The results:
Best hip-hop clothing line?
- Polo (213 votes)
- Roc-A-Wear (118 votes)
- Ecko (113 votes)
- Sean John (100 votes)
- Shady (39 votes)
- South Pole (29 votes)
- Phat Farm (27 votes)
- Vokal (8 votes)
It occurred to me after I put this poll up that there were a few issues with it. Even though Polo is a big label in hip-hop, it's not really a hip-hop label per se. As such, more specifically hip-hop oriented labels like Roc-A-Wear and Sean John were put in a postition of splitting a vote.
Also, fat dude that I am, I own my share of Polo, Ecko and Sean John, but I'm far from an expert on clothes. If it had occurred to me at the time, I might have dropped Shady and Vokal from the poll in favor of Fubu and LRG - or maybe even, god forbid, done a little actual research beyond flipping through the ads in this month's XXL.
Anyhoo, I was sort of surprised to see Roc-A-Wear beat both Ecko and Sean John. Ecko seems much more widely available, at least around here, and I think Sean John makes somewhat better-looking clothes than Jay-Z's, but what do I know. Also, for what it's worth, Diddy's new album is way better than Jay-Z's.

This week's poll, which is already up, focuses on which is the best season of MTV's the Real World. Notice the most recent season on the list dates way the fuck back to Bol's first senior year of college. Previews for this new season look promising though. I'm seriously considering resuming my duties as an episode recapper.
