I'm saying that because it's a great store that offers a great experience and mainly because your drip will be turned up to a Million degrees after you throw on the gear you just purchased from Dope Era Believe it! P.s. I also wanted to say or more like needed to say that them cats working in there M or F are top of the line individuals that refused to let an old head like myself walk out of there without his drip dripping off his frame in a proper way and that's is coming from a who has been dripping candy clean since before drip was wet and dripping yadada mean? But ah any-how it was really really real up in that thang I mean these cats are experts in drip or in other words the ladies and gentlemen of said establishment are all themselves what I would consider connoisseurs of fine haberdashery and you can't go wrong if was to fall up in 'nere and take a gander at what the player has to offer, you will be glad you did Mackin, that's on C'tas.

Sitting in our vehicle at a stoplight on Broadway Saturday night in front of the Dope Era store when we were rear-ended by someone in a red SUV, who then quickly drove off without stopping. We pulled over to the curb to look for damage on our vehicle, to see if we were hurt, and clean up the coffee and water that splashed all over the console (due to the impact) from the drinks in the cupholder.
