State Property, clothing line for black men. Seen this?

Their adds are all over NYC subways. I can't believe there's a clothing line, marketed to black men called "State Property!" I think this is so outrageous. It's just wrong. The subway ads show all these young black men looking mean and tough, wearing big medallions, and the State Property logo all over them. It blows my mind.

Have you seen this?

What do you think?

EDIT: fixed link

Beanie Sigel has launched his own line of clothing, State Property Wear, which distinguishes itself from other brands with hidden pockets and gun holsters. Sigel says his line will be the hottest Urban wear since Levi's and described it as "hard everyday wear."

"You know how you put your gun in your waistline and you gotta worry about it slipping? With these clothes, you don't got to worry about that. It's already in there," Sigel told AllHipHop.com.

Sigel claimed that his clothing would aid the street cat that gets searched on the block.

"You ever been on the block and everybody was like hustling and you had your pack stashed in a phone booth or something like that and you got to go get to it? With these clothes you don't have to worry about going to the phone booth and all that," he said.
