Download the newest pmaCAST Episode, The Funk In Your Trunk episode featuring Janelle Monae, Beyonce, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, Solange and more
If you’re anything like me (hopefully you’re not), you still have no idea what/who to “be” for Halloween this year. Hopefully this helps out a little. Kanye West and M.I.A. have always been some sort of trendsetters when it comes to fashion — Lil Wayne, well he’s a little rebel, a rebel who’s had a monstrous year. Then there’s Lil Wayne’s hair — now, that shit is legendary.Â
Anyway, so PMA-endorsed Costume No. 1:
The Kanye West costume has three vital components:
1. The well fitted suit.
2. The heart.
3. The “Stronger” shades.
You can find a well fitted suit in your closet, if not ask a friend. Still no luck? I’m sure your local Good Will has some cheap selections. The heart is a bit more tricky. But this is what I think you should do.
1. Get one piece of red construction paper and a sharpie.
2. Cut a heart out of the construction paper and color it black going across (refer to the image above if you need some inspiration)
Presto! You have your 808’s and Heartbreak heart.Â
The “Stronger” shades are definitely what MAKE the look. As you can tell, it transends ordinary sunglasses — lose the lense and throw in some shutters! Brilliant. And they’re available at your local mall. Trust me, you’ll find some. And all the cool kids wear them:
While you’re putting your Kanye costume together, jam out to these unearthed, unreleased Kanye tracks! Woot!

I’d also recommend: White sneakers, dark jeans, gold chain.
and yes, the sign is a MUST! Hilarious.
Remember the designer sweater, trucker hat, and some clean kicks
That would be kool, but just know that some people wont know who are,.
I’m guessing the shudder shade would give it away… but i dunno, i would hate for people to ask me “who are you supposed to be”
but thats just me
*sigh*
