Lord Jamar addresses "fashion" for 2013 Hip-Hop...lol

I agree with all this stuff in general man but it's a new homo-loving age, shit's not going anywhere.

That was cool. I still only have one earring in my left ear. Growing up in Chicago I remember that's how you did it. Only time cats had multiple earrings was for gang shit.

There's been Sara Lee cheesecake rappers since the 80's. But there was a balance. Well, the gay pride rappers, remember Me Phi Me, represnted like 1 percent.

Hell yeah me too, and I would never consider anything else. I don't get how kids are piercing stuff all over themselves, and tattoos arent tuff anymore, now you're the odd one out if you haven't got any... some of them piercing I gotta look twice cos at first it just looks like they got warts or somethin!

Just when I thought Powell couldn't get any gayer he's asking for pics of dudes in skirts now.

Lord Jamar has relead a Kanye diss track called "Lift Up Your Skirt"

I've neve done that shit when fans take sides like they know them personally. If I like the music i'll cop both albums but in this case i'm taking a side against male rappers wearing skirts. That also includes Queen Latifah

Don't know how to post the youtube video. The song uses parts from the interview D.Powell posted

Andre 3k wore a kilt in the Int'l Playas Anthem video...

I'm not a Kanye fan and skinny jeans and ish of that nature is not anything I would wear, but I've never understood why anyone gives a fuck about what anyone else wears...

If this was another type of culture or artform then no one probably would care but this is HIP-HOP MUSIC AND CULTURE...Jamar explains why he cares in his video....that Kanye shit ain't hip-hop baby bubba, which is why he saw it necessary to address it.....

If kanye does it, everybody will fall in line.

My fist images of hip hop are method man - tical era, redman - dare iz a darkside era and snoop dogg - doggystyle. They were high profile artists.

I just can't understand kids looking up to Kanye in a leather skirt. Listen to One For All and In God We Trust......two classics and they didn't get attention through their fashion choices

I mean, yeah, I can undestand that. And wearing a skirt as a dude is... weird (i was under the impression it was a kilt which is slightly different). Idk maybe I'm naive, but I don't think a bunch a kids will go out in skirts just because kanye did.

I see where Lund is coming from also. I respect where Jamar is coming from but let's be careful with limiting or saying what hip hop looks like. Perspective and individuality is a bitch. Sometimes people are salty they are not hot anymore and want to tear down whats hot to make people think something is wrong with them. Hip Hop is street rooted and thats where Jamar is coming from but hip hop is not only limited to street dudes anymore. Also times change. Some people get stuck in their era and just point fingers at the newer gens.

Just looking at it from another point of view. Not saying I agree with guys wearing kilts or make-up and shit.

^^^I actually think they will man, maby (probably) i'll be wrong

It opens the doors to that kind of shit. Rappers (mainstream) follow the money/trends

Man i'm a fan of Danny Brown and he looks like a fuckin junkie wearing the tightest outfit possible. I just want it to be about musical talent instead of who can be the gayest.....

I don't want dudes like that representing hip hop.

Fair enough, nothing against gay people and I mean that but can we keep hip hop? Does everything have to be gay friendly? Fuck...let them have show tunes and we'll keep this

If a gay dude raps like rakim and doesn't rap about sucking cocks so i can actually vibe with it and relate i'll buy that album

Tic706 would you be happy if other high profile mc's start wearing womens clothing? C'mon man. Everybody is thinking what Lord Jamar said but they want to be popular. You think Game, for example, wants to wear a skirt? He knows he can make money and stay on top with kanye so he says nothing. We should support Jamar in this shit

I was just thinking and I realized I can't think of any deep bass voiced or real manly toned rappers being in the mainstream for a long minute. Most cats have these soft plain voices. Is it because of gay culture infusing with mainstream America? I don't think its exclusive but where are the hardcore rappers at? We got these stylish ass rappers taking over the mainstream right now.

"Tic706 would you be happy if other high profile mc's start wearing womens clothing? C'mon man. Everybody is thinking what Lord Jamar said but they want to be popular.

Well I overstand I live in a world that does not see everything the way I see it. And the above is a BIG stretch. There was questionable fashion choices in rap even in its prime. And you will not see many other high profile rappers wearing women clothes. Its not going to happen. The cats who have that feminine ish in them anayway may follow suit but most won't.

Yeah man Kanye, Lupe.....the everyman is popular

The everyman should be an alternative like De La Soul was in the 90's

Hardcore rap isn't popular anymore. Smoking crack and wearing your mums clothes is the thing to do

Biggie Smalls sold like 10 million went diamond. That same album had Ten Crack Commandments, What's Beef?, Long Kiss Goodnight, Somebody Gotta Die.... that was a hip hop pop album....crazy to think of now

I think if somebody told you the number 1 seller would wear a leather skirt and other rappers would wear womens jeans with their arsehole hanging out you wouldn't have believed it either man

Also now that materialism is so popular in rap that leads to female traits imo. Shopping or "poppin tags" to me has always been a female thing. Most men in my day were not so materialistic. Its one thing to get fresh but the lines have been crossed now.

"play witcha your mother or your father...if you ain't got no pussy I don't wanna even be bothered"

Man I remember when rap music had some balls and heart!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's that? willie d?

The one and only!

we have gone from THIS (hip-hop standing strong against the powers that be and sending a strong message)







to this in 2013....gay ass "dudes" with dicks up their asses wearing fuckin skirts/kilts/make-up/eye liner/shopping like chicks/doing fruity spin moves..singing songs....1000% GAYNESS

Hip-hop let's get it together mayne......A.S.A.P.!

^^^^^

Key word there is YOU. YOU did it.


Stop blaming the kids...YOU let the old artists die!

If Lord Jamar released the best album ever today, it would not even sell 10k copies. If it even got that much. All you who used to support hip-hop outgrew it and stopped caring mayne!

There are VERY few old school heads like you who still support. Blame YOUR generation, not the kids now!

ummm the best hip-hop music being released in 2013 is coming from my generation...

Raekwon is still killing shit
Nas is still killing shit
O.C. is still killing shit
Showbiz/A.G. is killing shit
everybody on here seems to love De La Soul's last effort
samething with Craig G, Public Enemy, Killer Mike, Large Professor, Wu-Tang...etc...etc (all of these artists have appeared in the top 2012 hip-hop lists right?)

so it's not my generation Beavis it's the kids...they fuckin SUCK......LMAO!

Nah man, your generation is the 80s.

Everyone you listed except for Large Pro, PE and Craig G are mine.


It's honestly everyone over 25 really not buying and supporting hip-hop. They grew out of it or never really cared in the first place.

Like I said these kids don't know any better, they weren't around when we supported acts like Nas, Wu-Tang, etc. and got them all the radio play. We let them fade into obscurity for the most part, especially has-beens like Lord Jamar.

Ummm stupid my generation is the 80's and early 90's......who are you to tell me what my generation is Beavis...


all of the guys I listed are pretty much my age or slightly younger or slightly older.....so

Raekwon is older then me man cause I'm 41...and that dude is 43...is that your generation Steve??

O.C. is 39

A.G. is 40

Nas is 39

Killer Mike is 37

ummm Steve SHUT THE FUCK UP MAYNE....you have always looked pretty dumb on this forum but your stupidity is reaching an all-time high right now....lol

Sorry pal, anything after you graduate college is not "your generation".

That was 20 years ago (I'm assuming you went), so 1992. You can have until 1992 baby bubba, and all those dudes debuted (albums) after that mayne!

And even college is generous baby bubba. I consider about 1994-2002 my prime years, from when I really got into music until the end of high school.

Steve where do you get your bullshit??

Everyone of the emcees I've named is older then you.....by at least 8 to 10 years.....how are they from your generation when they are my age?? dude please shut the fuck up....cause you're ignorant mayne....this has been shown time and time again....the bottomline is that the kids have ruined hip-hop not my generation....your arguement against this is what?? you don't really have one...please shut the fuck up! thanks a bunch buddy...lol

in steve's eyes HIGH SCHOOL equals generation........

Back to the topic at hand....I think Lord Jamar has shown effectively that the hip-hop fashion in 2013 and the faggots wearing it are NOT hip-hop and do not represent hip-hop music and culture.....


they rep being expressive, being happy and being gay....that is all....

Age has nothing to do with it ya big dummy.

So if a 50 year old started rapping today that's your generation?


C'MON SON!

C'MON SON!

generations are age based Beavis...what is wrong with you?? first your black and then your white, and then your 29 years old in 2013 but Nas who came out in 1991 on Serch's record "Live At The BBQ" is in "your generation".....you were 7 years old..... Nas was 17 and a senior in HS and you were in the first fuckin grade

Raekwon who is 43 years old in 2013 is in your generation...LMAO! and his debut reording first appeared in 1993.....you were 9 years old then........ ...he was a grown ass man by then

O.C. debuted in 1994...you were 10 years old.... he was a grown ass man by then


Lil Wayne is from your generation Beavis because right now he is 30.......Lil Boosie is your generation because right now in 2013 he too is 30 years old......Drake is your generation because he is 26 in 2013.....

It doesn't matter when you started listening ya dumb idiot...this shit is age based and your peers fucked up the game...plain and simple.....

DMX as an example debuted in 1997 and he is 42 years old in 2013...is he your generation too?? if you say yes then your a fuckin idiot....


hopefully now you completely understand how generations work....if you have cousins who are now in their early 40's are they part of your generation?? but your trying to say it's different because it's music??? HEY STEVE SHUT THE FUCK UP....

Powell, have you ever considered doing audio books? I'd pay you $15 a book if you speak like you type on here.

And generations in music, or movies, or games have nothing to do with the age of the artist. It is dependent upon the release of the item. Are you really that thick you don't get that? Seriously? Please tell me you're joking.

I just showed that even with the release of those certain items in that criteria it still doesn't fit into what you've called "your generation"....because you were only in grade school when some of that stuff was released, I guess that would mean that Al Green....or early Stevie Wonder is in my generation because when I was 3 or 4 years old I heard those songs through my mom....or early Chaka Khan when I was maybe 7 or 8 just like you were when you were listening to that early Nas material or that first Wu-Tang album....lol

Steve you're a fuckin idiot mayne.....of course you don't yet fully realize how much of one you are yet...but hopefully this exercise in futility will convince that you are truly DUMB.....lol....
