On the Streetz of Hawaii

Ja Rule and Ashanti. Aloha Tower Marketplace. Honolulu, Hawaii. 10/22/22

The Kicks and The Fashion

My friend and I got to the gig very early, so was able to check out the Kicks and Clothes. For the Kicks, Lots of Air Jordan 1’s, Yeezy’s, Converse, and a new brand for me-FAUX. On the clothing end, many T-shirts, both retro and with fun sayings on them, mega ripped jeans and a somewhat newer trend-The White Jean.

Let’s take a look at some of the Kicks and Clothes from the Ja Rule x Ashanti Concert on 10/22/22.

AJ1, Yeezy’s, Foamposite and some blk & wht coordinates

The White Jean Craze

KIcks on Feet and One in the Pocket

Not quite sure what was happening here, 2 shoes on feet and 1 extra shoe for the left side pocket. Hmmm…Interesting

And Here is the new brand for me-FAUX. They had some very nice glowing 3m on them

Ja Rule

The Concert

Ja Rule and Ashanti sang separately and together. Doing all of their hits. I personally liked Ja Rule Feat. Fat Joe and Jadakiss with New York, New York.

Ashanti

Before Ashanti sang her big solo hit she told a story. And it was a story I knew oh so very well. Ashanti talked about being in Hawaii 20 years ago. She was at a Meet and Greet that I organized at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park (Now Wet n Wild Hawaii). It was a rather hot day, we did a very intimate Meet and Greet. We took pictures and fed our listeners and Ashanti and her crew to some delectable Hawaii plate lunches. It was a memorable moment for me, our listeners, Kai & Knute, our on-air personalities and Ashanti. It was really cool to hear her tell the story at the 10/22/22 concert.

And of course I liked the Ja Rule Feat. Ashanti with Always on Time after all these years, still knew all the words.

Thanks to Kona and Ray Jr. for the nice area to watch the concert. Side stage, very nice, very VIP. And Mahalo to @justkimo for the great pix and videos of the night.

Extra Videos for your viewing enjoyment. Live from Aloha Tower Marketplace on 10/222/22

This is one year where last year and this year are more similar than usual. We’ve had big moments in pop culture this year, but seems our attention spans are draining. As soon as one thing happens another is upon us. Not giving enough time for a real trend. I guess the world is just speeding up closer to light speed than one would like.

At least we have a runaway Number One which is Anna Delvey or Anna Sorokin, IRL or Inventing Anna. You could even do a fun group costume incorporating her friends and foes.

This year will be another Friday thru Monday celebration, so best to be prepared with 2-3 costumes. We’ll see the latest from pop culture, but we’ll also see some retro nostalgia costumes and It’s gonna be quite a rager since its the first “real” Halloween since 2018. Be safe our there everyone.
