What Happened To Russell Simmons And Phat Farm Clothing?

It's time for the holidays and Phat Farm is no-where around in 2019. Walking in to family members house on Thanksgiving wearing a new Phat Farm outfit had everyone talking. Not only that, you wished to open a gift from under the Christmas tree to find a Phat Farm shirt or coat.

Phat Farm Clothing is a division of Phat Fashion, which was founded in 1992 upon the inception of the “mainstream” hip hop movement. Before fancy headphones and expensive drinks Russell Simmons was making the big bucks from music and retail.

He was also a pivotal player in the so-called "urban" fashion movement of the late 1990s as the founder of Phat Farm, the apparel and footwear. However, a 2003 interview with Bloomberg Business stated that Simmons grew frustrated with being stymied into the ethnic brand category.

Simmons sold Phat Farm and Baby Phat to the Kellwood Company in 2004 for $140 million. Today, Phat Farm shoes perpetually remain on clearance at places like Sears and Kmart. We have selected a few online stores below to shop from. It's time to prep for the holidays, so be sure to select the correct style.

Drake's Biggest Hit Is Sampled From Timmy Thomas

The 70's R&B song 'Why can't we live together' may be one of Drakes biggest hits as to date. The music teacher, whose 1972 song “Why Can't We Live Together” was sampled for Drake's hit “Hotline Bling,” hopes he will.

Originally released in 1972, Timmy Thomas’ peace anthem ‘Why can’t We Live Together’ is to get an official 12″ vinyl reissue after being sampled on Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’. The 2015 hit was built around Thomas’s stripped-back hook, made with just a Hammond organ and percussion from an early rhythm machine.

 Thomas is happy about the way Drake went about clearing the sample explaining, “he did it the right way, he contacted my publishing company and contacted my writers. And so there’s nobody running.” “Why Can’t We Live Together” is a song about peace and Thomas is glad Drake didn’t use any of the original vocals to change the meaning of the song.

In an era where artists are constantly being sued over sampling in their music Timmy Thomas is glad Drake sampled his 1973 hit, “Why Can't We Live Together” in “Hotline Bling.”

 Drake's massive "Hotline Bling" was not submitted, due to a clerical error on the part of label Cash Money. Drake did score five Grammy nominations in other categories, including best rap album for If You're Reading This It's Too Late and best rap song for "Energy."
