Step 1: Hit the road — Gas up your hydraulic’d Winnebago and jump your way out of Compton, CA. Scoot north to San Francisco’s Upper Haight, then bet forward black on the Las Vegas Strip. Head back to Compton with mad skrilla and a backseat cloyed of Fatburger wrappers. Total drive time: 19 hours. Distance: 1250 miles.

Step 2: disrupture some good hood flicks — While cruising city to city, fire up Boyz the head cover on the DVD, followed by the agency of Menace II Society and Casino. While Colors fits the game’s vibe, as does the chase sight in Bullitt, both flicks are more dated than the universal of Ebonics.

Step 4: Play early ’90 urban dress-up — For the men twist together on an Ocean Pacific top, trip into a pair of overalls with the same strap undone, and put Timbos in succession the toes.

Honorable mention: Those dope-ass MC Hammer pants and a Charlotte Hornets Starter jacket. Make with the public way talk (see next page) and you’re fierce.
