When did black men as a collective start caring about their hairlines? My dad has pics from his childhood in the 60s & 70s and EVERYBODY'S hairline was fukked up. My granny was a single mom to 6 boys & they only got haircuts the weekend before the start of the school year

Times change :yeshrug:.
in the 70s they wore tight ass bootleg pants and velvet chest-showing croptops. You couldn't wear than now without your Harlem residency getting revoked:dame:.

There’s this story that back in the 80’s, LL and Russell Simmons had dinner at Bill Cosby’s house to discuss possible future business together or something like that. Of course, this is Bill Cosby, so he goes on his “In this house, we don’t wear hats at the table, and blah blah blah…” speech to LL.

So LL took off his hat…

Cosby: ”Put your hat back on”:what:

And that was that. :russ:


I remember on some documentary show, probably Behind the Music, he was talking about his stepfathers abuse.

He said the wearing hats were connected to that. I cant remember his exact words but they're like a psychological pacifier for his trauma.

Also, he probably cant grow his own hair.

Uncle L can still rock the bells though.

I remember hearing somewhere that LL always wore a hat also because he was on that KD hair regimen, he didn’t give a fukk.

The first time we saw LL without a hat on the screen was the film Out of Sync. That was a big deal at the time. Think about it. LL's debut album came out in 1985 and it was 10 years before we saw him without a hat hahaha.

LL is proof that the shyt that happens to you as a child really sticks with you, consciously or not, thru your whole life. Bro been a multi-millionaire and famous for forever pretty much but still is reluctant about taking his hat off because some girl in his elementary school used to make fun of his head everyday. That’s crazy. I wouldn’t care if my shyt looked like Jason Voorhees joint…I’m a have pretty chicks lickin my jawn when I get rich, fukk what that lil girl was talkin bout, 😆
