With the holidays coming up, and a recent Yeezy release and another on the horizon, its officially oop szn. Oop szn is probably my least favorite time of year honestly.

As a Jersey native I have to pay homage to two of my fellow NJ greats that are responsible for the title of my latest article. For those that missed the reference google and listen to the song “Funky Uncles”. But aside from the title and that reference this article has nothing to do with…
