The Blaggining


theblagg was launched in 2009 as a street culture blog aimed at street culture junkies. It would highlight all street culture facets from trends to events but would have a strong emphasis on street culture footwear and Music.
Features would range from interviews to reviews of almost anything “street”. theblagg would profile the movers and shakers in these mean streets, be it musicians or sneakerhead who happen to be killing it at what they do.
theblagg was also going to showcase new and breaking out product, from new music to new sneakers. This was going to be the best source of Street Culture information out.
But then theblaggers decided they were too pompous-nose-in-the-air-don't-really-give-a-hoot to know what "the streets" are all about. Nevermind what they are watching. So theblagg had no launch at a colourful snoepie that sells overpriced sneakers. Nor did it have A-grade douches and pseudo-celebs endorsing it on LIVE. And that's right, you guessed it, theblagg did not become the next IT thing, or the one to study to become popular, or even the new black.
We are the old black. The original black. The black bloggers who write what they like as though they draw life from suckling on the felt tip tit of Bantu Biko's pen. We're black, waaaay black. And we blog. And our hotter than your mama's bra strap hybrid of who we are and what we do is aptly titled theblagg. Piss off - we think it's ahem, apt. Welcome to The Ordinary Girl and Dude's lookbook of the world.
Put your headphones on and bask in the foot funk.
