Check out some of my previous posts—I call them all lowlifes. I couldn’t care less if they’re black, white, or purple. If I had been part of that life with the same maturity I have now, I’d have tape-recorded every mafia scumbag I came across and made it my life's mission to testify against them. It would've been such an honor. To be perfectly clear, I'm rooting for the rats to absolutely motherfuck Cosa Nostra. This is what happens when you grow up lol

Only thing is Meech was a dumb fuck and not a good dresser like Gotti.

I absolutely agree. It all looks like fun and games when you're a naive kid lol but fuck that shit. Pardon my French

Although I will say that the interest I got in LCN when I was a kid greatly impacted my desire to dress better than my peers!

No offense Rush, but John Gotti was a dumb fuck as well.

When you look at them objectively, John Gotti killed his way to the top of an already established organization. Which he ran for just a few short years on the streets. Still a big accomplishment in that world.

On the other hand, Big Meech and his brother built their own and made a LOT of money along the way. And it was spread throughout the most of the US as far as I know.

As far as clothes go... it all depends on your taste. Big Meech was a black guy who was deep in the rap scene. He dressed accordingly.

I was the same way. Like many, I got swept up in the allure of it all. But as life moves forward—marriage, kids—you start to see things differently.

I wouldnt' ever want to be like Big monkey Meech dumb fuck. Sorry but not appealing at all to me.

I like the way guys like Big Meech dress, in my opinion as long as it's fresh and you put in the effort, you're good to go. Not like these bums in the mob today who just don't seem to care. That being said, to me, nothing beats those old-school mobsters, Gotti-era and before, to me they have every other style of gangster beat when it comes to fashion. And their colorful personalities to go with it. Just unmatched. But that's just my opinion.

He was arrested in his house and was in hiding trying to dont attrack attention. Anyway you can be a milionare and dress without hand made suits,the people know who you are.

Serious question....Do you think the people who DO CARE, frequent THIS site? Or do they consume Hip Hop/ street content from an actual site/podcast/ Blog that deals with Street and Hip Hop stuff?

Do you think the people who frequent those sites give a fuck about random mob indictments for gambling or political corruption?

I'm not sure if it's still active, but if you into cartel shit, you go on Borderland Beat. You don't go on there looking for the latest mafia, or Blood and Crip developments.

I think you see where I'm going with this. No one ON HERE, cares about Hip Hop like that....

Bro he just bought expensive suits. That's it. Anyone can do that. He wasn't fashionable. Just cause you look like you going to court or a funeral all the time dont make you fashionable.

Bonaventre, Sciascia, these are who I think k of in terms of being dapper.

What?!!! Gotti was big into nice clothes and many times wore more than just suits, especially during his younger years and also at his social club.

When people say all the did was wear suits well that is in fact a very big myth. Don't believe me? Go online and you can find plenty of photos of Gotti through the years not dressed in a suit.

I'd also like to add that the suits and ties that John Gotti wore weren't just your run-of-the-mill suits and ties, they were BETTER and FLASHIER than average. Even politicians and movie stars hardly wear suits that nice. I'm not saying that Gotti was a fashion guru, but if he did show up to a funeral or wedding, he'd outdo most if not everyone there.

That is correct. All his suits were custom made to even the ties he wore. He had ties that you never ever would have been able to find a duplicate of and the price he was paying for them well forget about it. Pretty much unaffordable to 99 % of the human population.

Don't get me started on his shoes either. He wore great shoes and only the best.

John Gotti was the epitome of style and had the best barber as well.

Indeed it's a cultural thing same with the 1% outlaw bikers.
