ORIGINAL: Sinergy quote:
ORIGINAL: OrionTheWolf Since Hip Hop and Rap started to become popular in poverty striken areas, the pants often sagged because they were hand me downs or from a thrift store. Also, you often bought one size larger for growing kids to make the money go further. I will say this trend, the language associated with it and some of the protocals is a prison culture. The black community is just now seeing the problems and associations it can cause. I like the music when it actually tells a story from the heart, such as Tupac and Eminem, but the emulation of their bad times, should not be encouraged. Orion The more older people try to stamp out the shifts in culture, the more those shifting the culture will rebel. It is one of those things that I think people need to just go with and accept as those rebelling doing what they need to do to find their place in the field, to use a term from the movie "The Legend Of Bagger Vance." Sinergy p.s. That reggae version of the Snoop song "Boyz In The Hood" is an absolute scream. Oh yeah? What if older guys like ME started wearing those big baggy pants with our asses hanging out of them? Can you picture that, Senior Citizens walking around in big baggy pants?
