Dont Trust LA Times.

latimelies_prep_jerks

Although we have no control over the media and how they would like to display our company (Sophia Article on Jerkin’ style). We would like to say:

Dear Sophia Kercher, we are not an urban company and we do not understand the correlation between N.W.A. and the style of clothing we offer to consumers. There is nothing about Prep Jerks that resembles N.W.A or Urban wear except for one obvious assumption. Although your article did not profile us Per se, it does have similarities to articles written by journalists who have drawn a media driven misconception of Los Angeles street wear. If you would like to come and meet us in order to receive a different out look on who we are please feel free to contact me at otiscollins@prepjerks.com. F.Y.I no one uses the word “fly” to describe style in street wear.

Sincerely,

Otis Collins

P.S
If you are coming to our site looking for the “Jerkin” image, you’re terribly confused and should navigate away from this site. We do not design or sell “jerk-wear”, I do apologize for the confusion caused by Sophia Kercher’s article. Her views do not reflect the views of Prep Jerks, Inc. or the LA Times. To our supporters, please email Sophia Kercher at image@latimes.com and tell her who we are and what we’re about.

Title: Circus Elephants Arrive At Staples Center Hours Before Jackson Memorial

Caption: LOS ANGELES – JULY 7: Brothers Otis Collins, 24, (R) and Anthony Collins, 22, from Los Angeles, who slept on the roof of their car watch as Asian elephants head to the Staples Center, hours before a memorial service for recently deceased singer Michael Jackson is to take place at the same location, during the traditional Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus Animal Walk from the circus train on July 7, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Wherever the Ringling Bros. circus performs, the elephants and other animals must walk from the train to the performance arena. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus is arriving for their 2009 month-long southern California engagement. Jackson, 50, the iconic pop star, died at UCLA Medical Center after going into cardiac arrest at his rented home on June 25 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Ann Johansson/Getty Images)

I would get cable and pollute my mind with other non sense just to watch this women on A.O.T.S, she is sexy and she should have been Chung Li in street fighter: the legend of Chung Li, boo on you casting director booooo. Now watch her spit Bizzy’s and Layzies’s verse from Crossroads by Bone Thugs, she is too gangsta!

Bizzy:
let’s all bring it in for Wally
Eazy sees Uncle Charlie,
Little Boo, God’s got him,
and I’m gonna miss everybody,
I done roll with flows my game, looked at him while he lay
When playing with destiny, play too deep for me to say,
Lil Lazy came to me told me if he should decease
well then please bury me by my Gran Gran and when you can come follow
me.
Layzie:
God bless you workin on a plan to heaven
follow the Lord all 24/7 days
God is who we praise even though the devils all up in my face.
He keepin me safe and in my place
say grace to the gates we race,
but I change the face of judge,
then I guess my soul won’t budge, grudge,
because there’s no mercy for thugs,
ohhhhhh what can I do, it’s all about a family and how we roll
Can I get a witness not enough fool
We livin our lives to eternal our souls ay o ayo…

KNITTING FACTORY 5TH MARCH ’09


I went to this event at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood on the 5th just a day after I broke my finger and got some cool shots of the event. If you performed and want pictures hit me at info@prepjerks.com. The event was pretty exciting for me, the crowd was a little older and had a different demographic of people in attendance. Most shows I go to are more of a hipster scene and this event had a little more “hood” to it but not in the negative connotation. Latino Hip Hop supporters were in the building along with a few asian peeps. The sets were really dope especially Berreta’s performance. He really put a lot of heart into his set and I was very impressed by him. He really brought a hip hop vibe to the scene with the B-boys, DJ’s and a live band rocking out, he really stepped it up. shout out to Omar I missed your set but dont trip I am going to be at the next one 20 min early

Good Morning James

My good friend James came over to enjoy a little wine, Jack in the Box and Guitar Hero World Tour. His original plan was to come over, drink a little, eat, and leave. He changed his mind and slept at my house for the night… He should have stuck to his original plan.




Damn!!!!

Follow up: James went to pick a part later that day and bought new wheels and tires.
