Gully Creepa!

Disclaimer:


[ Gully creepa ] *Noun* a "thing" :
 "Some so call bad men used to use the gully to hide from police and creep up on their own brothers and sisters and kill them for what they have. "

[ Gully in Jamaica ] *Noun* a place :
There is the definition of the term "gully" here in North America where it is meant as "too raw and real"  and is used as an adjective but in Jamaica "Gully" is a noun. Gully is basically a ditch that is found under bridges or inside little tunnels that runs water through it.

With that said. The term "Gully" is also used as a gang affiliated phrase in Jamaica: "Gully mi seh." Jamaica is now divided into 2 parts because of 2 dancehall reggae artists that have waged a "war" against eachother. The "leader" of the "Gully side" is Movado. So he coined the term "Gully mi seh". Anyone who says this is said to be in support of the "Gully side." Movado's rival is Vybez Cartel. He is the leader of the "Gaza side": "Gaza mi seh". 

I am in support of neither side. I feel this rival/feud is mindless. BUT I am using the popular dancehall song "Gully creepa" as an artistic and creative way of expression for this post. Not as support for this war.

To get an idea of the vibe, mannerisms and character that I had in mind when putting this look together for this post refer to this youtube video and watch this dancer in Jamaica doing the dance "Gully creepa"


So basically.....

Why pretend to be a Gully creepa? When you could truly be one?
Not some wanna be "bad man" hiding in a gully. But the ACTUAL creature.....
