At first glance reading the headline of this article, you're probably thinking, "Make them pieces hit? What does that actually mean?"
"Make Them Pieces Hit" is basically a saying I use; which means each article of clothing that you have on has to be bomb, perfect, on point in order for them to"hit" or have somebody say, "your outfit is bomb" not just your shirt, pants, shoes which are "pieces". In total, the articles of clothing that you have on have to connect, have to tic-tac-toe three in a row, to "hit".
The total goal of making pieces hit isn't for the approval of others or to gain compliments, that's just for kicks. The goal is to express your style in your way on your time. Your pieces will come together based on your judgement. The ultimate goal is to make them pop, make them perfect in your eyes. If you get a compliment cool, if you don't, cool. At the end of the day it's all up to you to approve your pieces, it is your style, your mantra, your show--don't let anybody stop your shine.
This saying can also be used to give advice on an outfit when out shopping with your friends.
For example, you and your friend may be shopping and she asks you about a blouse that she thinks would go with some pants in her closet you'd say, "make them pieces hit." In this case it means that she would put those articles of clothing together and make it fly.
You see this saying has many meanings, you can use it in past tense, present tense, verb tense, future tense etc., it's not only barred to fashion. It also can be used to motivate someone to accomplish something or to encourage them to do their work. For example, you have a classmate who's struggling in math and they ask you for advice on twenty odd or so problems they have to do. In order to motivate them you'd say, "make them pieces hit" and in this case, you're saying, get it done or do what you have to do to get it done.
It's now a saying that I will continue to say in any situation at any time. It's a motivating saying which will encourage a person to as T.I. would say, "get on your job."
In everything that you do this year and many years to come make sure you make them pieces hit.
Style and shine on, my friend.
