Rugs Def

You know the part in “La Di Da Di” where Slick Rick tells the story about talking to his old friend Sally from the Valley when her mother came along and punched her and stomped on her feet and “slammed the child on the hard concrete?” (Classic Deutschean Jealous-Mother Syndrome.) Well, Sally’s worst injuries might have been avoided if the New Jersey-based DefRugs company had been around back in 1985. I think the Blowout Comb one is the coolest. The EPMD one, too — that famous logo, designed by Eric Haze, that’s tough to beat all big and fuzzy like that. Really, there’s lots here worth taking off your shoes before stepping on.
