- Thread starter Wepa Man
- Start date
the parts about the earrings and diamonds was him detailing how we got to the point where people think they can get away with being super-bold.
he didnt call out dipset and 3 stacks because they dont dress like fakkits.

i don't get the appeal of this though it looks like if somebody gave a 10 year old the money/connections to make adidas clothes. It doesn't even look good to wear i don't get it
Dre and Cam my nikkas but come on my nikka really
this isn't any worst than Asap?? lol
:smugYe:
don't get me wrong though..i'm all for freedom of expression, but not calling out them as well is str8 BS.

Louder than words
its crazy, but nowadays rappers are so out there, and wearing jeggings, blouses, dresses, seriously ... you might ask yourself since the lines are so blurred - what would a gay rapper wear to distinguish himself from the pack?

andre just wears wierd stuff for attention. and i can vouch for those 2 pics. the first pic represents our ancestry and when we were kings. the 2nd pic is that p-funk/bootsy collins type stuff. i always looked at that as a salute to the artists that influenced him. now theres alot of stuff that he wears that i wont vouch for, but he never struck me as a fruitcake.
cam falls under the category of pushing the limits, but he was so street with his that you had to accept it. hes just a fly nicca. and other fly niccas can relate.
now this asap rocky/kanye west/lil wayne stuff is just gay chit.
bet i'll give u that with Cam. But how is Asap (from Harlem as well obviously) not simply pushing limits. Why can Dre do weird shyt for attention but Asap and Ye can't?? I can dig the Egyptian imagery but did Dre really have to go all out with the glitter and mascara.
shyt this "skirt/hoodie" (i don't know what the fukk it is) lol Asap is rocking has egyptian imagery..
i just feel its a bit of a double standard yo

Not only dressing like biitches, but actually wearing womens clothes.........
And folks are acting like Jamar is wrong for speaking about it?
Can't wait to see the next generation 20 yrs from now. Dudes just gonna be blatantly sucking ea others diicks in the "straight" clubs and when you complain they gonna say "you're out of touch"

It's true that the examples I gave were part of a detailing of how hip hop fashion became more and more effeminate, but he cited the examples he did because he considered those things to be feminine and thus not something a male hip hop fan should wear. So technically we are both right.

Lil Wayne is another prime example of someone Jamar should have called out. In this case for wearing skin tight women's jeggings.
Isn't that the whole point though? That Kanye and ASAP are wearing weird stuff to make themselves stand out and garner more attention? How is it any different than Andre rocking the skirt with the football pads and helmet? Or Cam incorporating pink into everything he wore? Or Dipset adopting the rock star look and wearing fitted clothing?
Pushing the limits - even on a street level - was directly denounced by Jamar in the video. Maybe you disagree with Jamar on that point - but you would have to acknowledge that there is no harm in rocking certain effeminate styles (2 earrings and diamonds).
If you want to call people out for wearing gimmicky fashion to seek attention that's fine - but be consistent.
What I take issue with is the argument that straight dudes are going to see Kanye wearing a skirt and transform overnight and become gay. Or if straight dudes wear effeminate fashion that is going to turn them gay. That is completely unsubstantiated opinion and stems from homophobia.
I also take issue with the homophobia. There isn't anything inherently wrong with homosexuality. Do you disagree with that? If you do - how does other people being attracted to the same sex harm Wacky D?
