Glad you asked. <--just play along. Damon Dash just opened a vintage clothing store in New York...
Dame's store, called The Local 172 Trading Post, will carry lines from Ralph Lauren, Pendelton, LL Bean and Woolrich [what? No House of Dereon?]. The Local 172 Trading Post is scheduled to open March 26 in the same Tribeca building Dame houses his art gallery and recording studio.

Yeah, this store will be closing..

Random Thought: Will Birdman & Lil Wayne ever part ways?.......
I don't want his old one day worn socks, or his ex-wifes un-sold fashions.
vintage store, art gallery, and studio?
I certainly can't knock the man for getting his entrepreneur thang on.
I wish him luck!
Carry on, brotha!
Hey Dame, can I buy a suit like the one you got on at your store??
I aint mad at Dame - brotha just tryna pick up the pieces of the broken Roc JayZ busted him over the head with, and glue em back together..
Dame, probably onlys owns a small percentage of that store, He still all messed up. I never liked this fast talking, bridge burning jerk.
Art gallery, music studio, vintage (Goodwill) clothing store..
We also have space for: fried chicken and waffles on Mondays, zumba classes on Thursdays, praise dance practice on Fridays (2-4pm), martini lounge Friday evening, And the holier than thou greater espicopal marching to zion church on Sundays at 11.
@10:42am - lol!!
Okie dokie.
Bitch, its a economic recession going on in this country. If we want vintage clothes, we can in the back of our closets and find some vintage shit.
Still got my Members Only jacket from 1981 and my straight-leg dark wash Levi's from 1987.
@Ingmar's- lmao
He's selling HIS old clothes!!! In the real world we call it a YARD SALE!!!
LOL! funny comments Fam!
@Ingmar's
Cosign!I have a NBA starter jacket and two toned acid washed Lee Jeans. Straight up "VINTAGE"!
Is it true what they're saying about Jaden SMith dying?????
http://jaden.smith.mediafetcher.com/news/top_stories/actor_skiing.php
ACTUALLY...
a vintage store in NY is like money in the bank. if he got good stock, he will def make money. Say what you want, but the man aint stupid by no means and knows how to dig a new well when the old one dries up!
lol @ 10:42
I'm not sure, but don't Bey & Jay still live in Tribeca? Maybe they'll stop by and say hello. Tribeca is a small friendly family neighborhood. LOL!
@11.:31
I think is was an actual snowboarder that died. His name was Jaden Smith too.
I'm going to verify this tho..
^ oops (typo)
I think "IT" was.
Speaking of VINTAGE, WHO still got an '8 ball' jacket and USED jeans? LOL
*dead* @ 10:42
WHAT? NO RACHEL ROY APPAREL?!!!!
This boulder headed, bitch ass nigga. SMMFH
Gotdayuuuuum.....y'all going hard on old DD....this is the funniest shit I read in a long time......
LOL @ "the rock that Jay Z busted him over the head with"
That will be the same rock that Jay Z throws thru the front window of Dame Dash's shit at 11:59 pm on March 26th. He ain't gonna lit this beach ball head clown have shit for one day. But at least beach ball head be hustlin and grindin
lol at Beyonce Knowles and 10:42!

so he did not benefit whatsoever from sacrificing aaliyah?
Wow yall killin me tonight!
No Dereon...lol...
him not benefiting from aaliyah...lol...(i'm a bad person fom laughing at that esp. cause she was my fav singer)
Dude is on his hussle tho! many folks would prob be on welfare and a minimum wage by now...
...Y'all hear that? What's that, you ask? It's the sound of Dame Dash quietly closing the doors of his vintage closing store in 5, 4, 4,... days.
^ 5, 4, 3,...days.
@11:38 AM: You're right on that one.
In NYC, a good vintage store with the right inventory CAN do well.
I used to shop in vintage stores myself.
It's not always about being broke, either.
Sometimes you may want to create your own style or maybe you're tired of wearing what everyone else is wearing and want something NO one else is rocking or thought about rocking at the moment.
Something original, even if it's throwback.
You can get good deals too, and those stores tend to last forever.
My old store in the city is still around after all these years(over 20).
I'm not postitive, but I think some stylists may shop at vintage clothing stores for their clients, too.
Good Luck..Been 'der
@NubianGoddez:
Ernie Barnes, Basquiat, LaShun Beal.
***
You just dropped three of my faves right there.
My Aunt introduced me to Beal.
I think he could do well if he chooses the right location for his gallery and has the right connections.
He obviously needs the right works, too.
If he carries the right pieces his vintage store could also do well.
Again, he needs the right location cuz not every NY'er wears or even digs vintage gear.
I can't call the studio sitcha'ation...
This 3.4 broke ass nigga aint fooling nobody with using the word ( VINTAGE ) in for the store.
Nigga call it what it is.. GARAGE SALE!!
Its nothing other than the shit your ass bought when you were MINI RICH before running your mouth,fuckin up, and getting put on,(BITCH-NIGGA-BLAST) BY JayZ.
Nigga aint nothing but a PAST ATTENTION MAN-WHORE
YO DAME! And make sure to sell that old ass PUNK-STRIP SUIT. $3.99 OKAY $4.00 even. i was trippin.
Who wanna bet that this BASTARD so called ART that he will be selling is pictures of
Aaliyha and he took together. Remember not too long ago this MAGGOT tried to use her name to gain money. DD, Your simple ass is through in this world.(Jayz) made sure of that. What you should do is try applying at your nearest record store and ask if they're hiring for a clerk posistion and sell records that away.. (CTFU)
@10:34 p.m. His ass is a few blocks away from applying for government assistance. This kneegrow fell from eating Sirlon, Ribeye Steaks to Government Cheese Sandwiches. ( Dame DONT FORGET TO GET A BOX OF EXLAX ) I hear that cheese aint no joke to the stomach and bowels.
typo Clerk position
NAA: Your comment was hillariously on point. He's trying to nickle and dime himself back to the top. Vintage huh....that's just another name for old sh!t. I'm an artist and I sent his gallery a package of my artwork and I never heard jack. Probably stole my sh!t and then sold my sh!t. FAST SH!T TALKING ASS LOSER!
Jay's right... 'u cant knock the hustle'
Whats up with all you jealous losers? Whats wrong in wanting to be a productive member of society and make money?
Should he sit on his ass all day and bitch about the past?
dame you ant shit the only reason why you was paid,was jay-z you fucked up fam word, you dont know how to do biss, thats why your broke nigga your a lost cause work for micky-D's sell burgers peace.
