So, with some people tearing LaVar apart for his crazy topless cameo -- the rapper went to bat for the leader of the BBB ... saying he straight-up LOVED IT. That said ... Wale says LaVar has limits when it comes to his career in the squared circle.

The former first couple's portrait looms larger than life at the popular restaurant located on U Street in Washington, D.C., and joins images of comedian Dave Chapelle, late musician Prince, rapper Wale, actress Taraji P. Henson, Muhammad Ali, Harriet Tubman and former city mayor Marion Barry, among others.

One of the first times we went to SOB's was during CMJ week, and Mark Ronson had a showcase for his then-label called Allido, with Rhymefest, Daniel Merriweather, Wale, backed by Mark Ronson and the Dap Kings; it was the event that everyone wanted to get into.

Everyone gets a darkly seductive video treatment and courtesy digital EP or two and a moment in the periphery of Drake's spotlight, but no one has matched the success of other artists signed to rappers' labels like Wale of Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group and G.O.O.D. Music's Big Sean.

But the lacy shirts (and gloves, and bodysuits), dresses cut wide at the chest to expose knit bras beneath, and big star print silks, plus classic wide wale corduroy trenches at Nina Ricci, all very "Desperately Seeking Susan"-as-remade-by-Jean-Luc-Godard-in-Wyoming, were just confusing.

While the Disney folks tapped tons of other African artists that are hot and poppin' in their own countries -- for example, Nigerian pop star WizKid, Ghanaian producer Shatta Wale, Nigerian singer Burna Boy, South African artists Busiswa and Moonchild Sanelly, Nigerian stars Tekno, Yemi Alade and Mr Eazi -- they excluded Keynans.

Already people are finding inspiration in the sound—the new Wale and Lil Wayne single "Running Back" sounds eerily familiar—and Yachty himself is crossing directly into conventional pop, collaborating with the likes of Charli XCX and Carly Rae Jepsen (the latter for a Target commercial, which is as mainstream as it gets).

Indeed. And in the confines of that otherwise holy space came little tweed Chanel-ish mini-suits trimmed in metal O-rings, and little tweed dresses bolted together with gradient lengths of steel; pink wide-wale corduroys sprinkled with embroidered pole-dancer silhouettes instead of teddy bears; and charmeuse lingerie dresses inset with lace marijuana leaves.

"It's good to see the big homie speak his mind and have fun doing it, and knowing that America supports him," Ross said, voicing his support for his fellow rapper before hosting MTV's Woodie Awards Thursday night, where he closed out the show with a high-energy performance of "Trap Twrap Trap," featuring DC rapper Wale.

Wale joined him for a silky look back on school break flings ("Summatime"), "Have You Seen That Girl?" revisits Link's adolescent hot spots within the DMV region, and Grammy-nominated "Crew" sees Southeast DC standout Shy Glizzy offer his best verse in recent memory and gets one of the year's best hooks from Maryland's Brent Faiyaz.

And though he managed to let the stuffing out in slouchy wide wale corduroys that hung off the hips and puddled on the floor paired with cropped knits and tweedy blazers, in tailored 1970s greatcoats and patched upcycled leather, there was still too much residue of the old bourgeois loafer set to really signal a new dawn.

DeSean Jackson turned 30 years old Thursday ... and he celebrated by raging his face off at a D.C. nightclub ... chugging champagne, taking shots and rocking more jewelry than Tiffany and Co. The Washington Redskins superstar hit up Sax -- a super gaudy, gold-everywhere, over-the-top club -- where he celebrated with the likes of Wale and 'Basketball Wives' star Laura Govan.

But, growing up in Maryland's Montgomery County and producing a brand of rap that most would consider backpack, Wale could not speak to the everyday experience of living in inner city DC. Still, his rise gave way to The District's first wave of nationally-recognized street music, producing MMG signee Fat Trel, the eccentric Yung Gleesh and current torchbearer, Shy Glizzy.

My jacket — a cropped little thing in thin-wale corduroy, covered in a confetti sprinkle of ditsy flowers — looked like it would have belonged on that rack along alongside oversized sack dresses covered in '70s storybook illustrations, gigantic paints in prints that felt both garish and glamorous to me, and fringed tops that looked like a three-dimensional mesa sunset.

Many in the West persist in framing Africa exclusively as a continent troubled by "crisis and problems," said Simone Cipriani, founder of the Ethical Fashion Initiative, which organized the show of workmanlike clothes by the South Africans Keith Henning and Jody Paulsen; of outfits marrying blanket woolens with sophisticated woven elements by Lukhanyo Mdingi and Nicholas Coutts, also from South Africa; of frankly political patterned apparel by the Nigeria-born, Philadelphia-based attorney Wale Oyejide; and of Gozi Ochonogor's deceptively simple suits.
