Después de su primer sitio web en 2011, la gente simplemente no hace nada desarrollado como un seguimiento prácticamente de culto que eventualmente resulta en un exitoso programa de televisión , un largometraje y éxito de BAFTA. Detrás de toda la locura, vemos a Kurupt FM, una pandilla de MCS improvisada de Brentford y DJ dudosos, operando la mejor estación de radio pirata en toda la tierra.
Recientemente, las cabezas detrás de Kurupt FM se asociaron con eBay para establecer una tienda y traer zapatillas de deporte de regreso a la gente de Bethnal Green. Sin darse cuenta del error de sus formas, el grupo vendió patadas de calor altas, como el Air Max 1 DLX Atmos Animal 2.0 y New Balance X Salehe Bembury 2002r por solo £ 15 cada uno.
Después del evento, saltamos a una llamada de zoom con Mc Grindah, DJ Beats, DJ Steves y el gerente de grupo Chabuddy G para hablar todas las cosas extrañas y fantásticas sobre las zapatillas y aprender exactamente lo que están haciendo con eBay.

“Muy bien, Kurupt FM, estás aquí, y te has asociado con eBay. ¿Cuál es la misión detrás de tu asociación y qué estás tratando de lograr?”
DJ Steves: “Sí, definitivamente. Solo … eBay y entrenadores … y zapatillas de deporte”.
MC Grindah: “Sí, ¿implicas hoy o simplemente en general?”
“Sí, bueno, escuché que se acercó a algunas cosas hoy, así que hablemos de eso”.
Mc Grindah: “Obviamente, las zapatillas son una de esas cosas que cuestan al descubierto la gran cantidad de tiempo, ¿sabes a qué me refiero? bar.”
DJ Steves: “Estábamos soplando las mentes de las personas. Todos iban a” podrías obtener mucho más para esto “, y éramos como nah nah, no lo queremos”.
Chabuddy G: “Porque fue para la caridad. Las versiones son una gran cosa, si supiéramos eso, entonces probablemente no los habríamos vendido por 15 Quid, pero ¿sabes qué? Que Será, Será”.
DJ Steves: “Literalmente estábamos sacando los zapatos de la gente de la mejor manera y haciendo que la gente los use”.
DJ Beats: “¿Sabes por qué era bueno? Porque éramos como las personas extrañas que en las calles y tratando de detenerte? Eríamos como ellos pero teníamos un puesto en lugar de un portapapeles”.
MC Grindah: “Y la gente nos estaba preocupando en lugar de huir”.
Chabuddy G: “Todos estaban pares”.
MC Grindah: “Se podría decir que era la primera vez en la sociedad donde todos estaban incluso?”
Chabuddy G: “Por un momento, Bethnal Green se sintió como Cuba”.
“Todo eso suena genial. ¿Para quién era el dinero?”
MC Grindah: “Oh, sí … Cruz Roja Británica. Mi reacción inmediata fue ‘No, no soy racista’, pero en realidad es una organización benéfica para cosas”.
DJ vence: “También tenemos que decir sobre el sorteo. Básicamente, a través de eBay estamos haciendo un sorteo para dos pares de entrenadores, es un cinco de los cinco, y todos los ingresos van a ir a la Cruz Roja Británica”.

“¡Increíble, la mejor de las suertes con eso! Muy bien, así que nos reubiquemos. Como numerosos de nosotros hemos visto, ustedes, los hombres, pasaron un tiempo en el este de Asia durante la filmación de Kurupt FM Big en Japón. ¿Hay alguna parte de la moda japonesa? ¿Preparado para adoptar en su propio estilo? ”
Mc Grindah: “Oh definitivamente. Por ahí, los papás simplemente usan Stone Island, y ni siquiera son papás racistas del fútbol como en Inglaterra. Como si ni siquiera supiera lo que está haciendo y se está sacudiendo en un Stoney y un par de 95s “.
Chabuddy G: “Me metí en los Kimonos, pero ¿sabes cómo los luchadores de sumo usan esa tanga? Estoy tratando de traer esa cultura de Londres. Hombre tangas. Directamente por el agujero A **”.
DJ Beats: “Me gustan bastante los hombres adultos con las trenzas”.
DJ Steves: “Me gusta el té de burbujas”.
Chabuddy G: “Recuerdo que tomaste un té de burbujas y lo estabas tomando durante dos días. Tu mandíbula solo iba y iba, y la paja estaba hecha jirones absoluta al final. Es por eso que tiene una mandíbula tan fuerte, porque Siempre se está balanceando “.
“Sí, tiene mucho sentido. Así que he visto que estás listo para hacer apariciones tanto en Inside Out and Land Beyond Festivals este verano. ¿Cuál es tu entrenador de elección para cuándo estás actuando? ¿Estás buscando comodidad sobre todo? ¿De lo contrario o simplemente vas por el estilo? ”
Mc Grindah: “Ambos. Quiero ser convenientemente elegante, y el zapato para mí será un Air Max 95. Si estamos hablando de estilo puro, sabes que solo voy por un par de TNS, pero porque el Air Max 95 tiene una buena burbuja de aire fuerte, es perfecta “.
DJ Steves: “Para mí, es un Nike TN, con una bolsa de plástico y una banda de goma para sostenerlo”.
Chabuddy G: “Me gustan las botas del talón que conoces, pero ahora también me gustan mucho las Uggs de las mujeres, son demasiado pequeñas para mí y tengo artritis en el pie y el pie de la atleta, pero hay algo sobre el dolor que me gusta”.
DJ Steves: “¿Recuerdas en Glastonbury cuando obtuviste el frote del hombre con el brillo en el pecho?”
Chabuddy G: “Sí, ya sabes, soy muy libre … muy fluido. ¿Muy de género fluido?”
Grindah: “DJ Beats, ¿cuál era el tuyo?”
DJ Beats: “Oh Erm, solo un Reebok porque son realmente cómodos y realesly cheap and if you f*ck them up, it doesn’t really matter.”
MC Grindah: “I wouldn’t say cheap, I’d say affordable.”
So you’re all quite stylish lads, but what sneaker or clothing trend do you many regret participating in?
DJ Beats: “White denim. Yeah, I had a Spliffy, denim waistcoat that I’d wear with white Spliffy baggy jeans.”
MC Grindah: “Yeah mine would be something similar, my black Spliffy waistcoat with 8 pockets and white stitching paired with the massive unravelled woolly Spliffy hat.”
DJ Beats: “We wore them to a friend’s wedding and did that dance. but your stage age is 24 and I’m 36, and it’s strange two grown men wearing that, to be honest.”
MC Grindah: “Yeah it was when we were into east 17. Steves?”
DJ Steves: “I don’t remember anything. If you don’t remember, you can’t regret it.”
Chabuddy G: “Yeah I was always a bit much more of a bootcut jean man, but then all the aunties were saying ‘show off your figure more, show off your bum’, so I got into skinny jeans and that was not a good Mira.”
DJ Steves: “They were saying that yeah?”
Chabuddy G: “Yeah they were saying, ‘you’ve got beautiful hips, show off your bum, we want to see your bum bum’, so I started wearing tight skinny jeans and it cut off all the circulation and I nearly lost a pelota.”

“Well, I mean, it happens to the best of us. So, you’ve won BAFTAs so obviously, you’re no strangers to the red carpet. Out of all the celebrities you’ve met, who do you think was the best dressed and who do you think was the worst?”
DJ Beats: “Jason Statham, he always looks very good.”
MC Grindah: “Chase and status he’s talking about. It’s his speech impediment. *Turning to DJ Beats* We haven’t corrected you before. It’s fine, nothing wrong with that. You were born how you were born. but whatever, one of them dresses good and one doesn’t, we’re not going to say who is who.”
Chabuddy G: “I think that lady Gaga dresses badly, because she wore that whole donner kebab suit didn’t she? Also, Mason Greenwood dresses bad.”
DJ Beats: “If they’ve been cancelled and can’t hurt me I agree.”
“Fair enough. next question is, If you had to describe Brentford as a shoe what do you think it would be?”
DJ Beats: “It’s a Reebok Workout, alright?”
MC Grindah: “You know what I’d say? A Base loafer, because Brentford is known as the strong heel of the south.”
DJ Steves: “Yeah I’d probably have to agree like grey Reebok Classic. Or a grey Base loafer if it was a smarter part like Ealing. It’s quite a confusing question, I get strange about metaphors sometimes. I do like metaphors, but I just don’t understand them.”
“Chabzy, I know you’re probably still missing Aldona. but say you have to go on a first date, what are you wearing and why?”
Chadbuddy G: “For a first date I think it’s essential to have easy access, so everything I wear will be welcro. Welcro jeans, welcro top, welcro boxers.”
DJ Steves: “Velcro?”
Chabuddy G: “Welcro. You never know where it could go, you know might get a bit steamy? any chance I get and I’ll rip it off like Superman, and that’s it, I’m bricked up.”
DJ Steves: “But didn’t you have that event in Japan where you got caught in the tube door?”
Chabuddy G: “But that’s why I don’t have my ponytail anymore, cause it got ripped off on the train.”
DJ Steves: “Yeah Japanese police can be quite aggressive really.”
Chabuddy G: “Tiny but aggressive.”

“This next one is for Grindah. According to cash converters your gold signet ring might not have been real. I was just wondering your thoughts on fake clothing and shoes?”
MC Grindah: “Disgusting. I think if you’re going to wear something fake you need to respect yourself because otherwise, you end up looking like a madman. The ring wasn’t fake in the end either, it was the wrong shop.”
“So it’s fair to say you men love your clothes and trainers, tracksuits, TNs and 95s especially. If possible I’d like to get your opinion on some upcoming and recent trainer & clothing launches? first up we have the Kerwin Frost x adidas Forum HI Humanchives.”
Chabuddy G: “Has someone put a pair of b*llocks on the tongue?”
MC Grindah: “Yeah not my vibe at all, to be honest, they’re a bit weird. Also, I’d probably be a bit frightened if you slept with them in your bedroom and you woke up with them staring at you.”
DJ Steves: “Id wake up and think they were coming for me. I’d probably end up chatting to them if I went a little bit hard… I do like to have a little dabble on the evening.”
Chabuddy G: “You could market this to OAPs because of the dentures. Old people have a lot of money you know?”
“Okay, so that was our first one. For our second we have the Off White x Nike blazer low “Black”.
MC Grindah: “I see Beats wearing these.”
DJ Beats: “Really, why?”
MC Grindah: “Because of your foot problem.”
DJ Beats: “I told you, I had the foot operation, and now I don’t have to wear the safety and security guard boot with the funny sole.”
DJ Steves: “They’re not coming off your foot. That’s a mad amount of laces.”
MC Grindah: “Yeah that’s the good thing, the laces. The bad thing is absolutely everything else.”

“That’s fair enough. next up, we have Gucci x adidas Gazelle.”
DJ Beats: “Are those real?!”
DJ Steves: “I like them. They look a little bit like my nan’s old sofa, but in a good way.”
MC Grindah: “I love the design, I just don’t like the shape.”
Chabuddy G: “I think the heel is quite long y’know? Pokey.”
“Up next, we have Burberry x Supreme.”
MC Grindah: “YES! have you got this?”
“Yeah, I’ve got the pink skateboard deck.”
MC Grindah: “You f*cking f*ck.”
DJ Beats: “Yeah you shouldn’t have queued for that.”
MC Grindah: “My friends got a skateboard deck as well, I’m not really into that, but I tell you what, I’m into the clothing. That is me all over. If you could get me that matching two pieces, I’m anyone’s money. Steves, I could see a bucket hat on you. festival season. He gets third-degree burns if he goes into the sun.”
DJ Steves: “Yeah I’ve got to wear the child-block element 50.”
DJ Beats: “He nearly died when we took him down the tanning shop.”
MC Grindah: “Don’t ask why.”
“All right. Up next, we have the concept x Nike Air Max 1 ‘Olive’.”
DJ Beats: “I like those, they’re good in a strange way.”
MC Grindah: “Yeah I could see Decoy with those ones.”
DJ Beats: “Image that with a good brushed red velvet shirt. On holiday, with a good pair of denim shorts. Do you know what? I love a denim short. good 3/4 length short, crushed velvet t-shirt and those on the feet, that’s the look.”
Chabuddy G: “All buttons undone.”
MC Grindah: “Maybe a bandana with skulls on it?”
DJ Steves: “You can be whoever you want on holiday.”
“And finally, we have the Yeezy Foam Runner Mist.”
DJ Steves: “I have vibrant flashbacks of waking up inside something that looks exactly like that, just like a six-foot version. I’m in the middle of it, and I sit up and I’m covered in this ectoplasm stuff, and that’s all I remember. Can you imagine?”
MC Grindah: “I couldn’t imagine actually.”
DJ Steves: “That’s because you’re not an abductee.”
DJ Beats: “Do you remember that comedy we viewed called Dune? looks like something they would wear.”
