Welcome to Gaia! ::

Read this thread and be enlightened. The short version is that there' a fad in mainstream rap right now that involves wearing a "white tee shirt, blue jeans, and nikes", but what most kids don't know is that that outfit became popular due to a bunch of rappers being locked up in prison in California on a frequent basis. As a hip-hop head, I question this: why would it suddenly be cool, as a young black male, to dress up as if a prisoner?I'm not against adults playing GTA, nor am I going to speak the evils of music, but when you have impressionable young kids dressing up like this and they don't know the real reasoning behind it, it's a display of ignorance. The fad was also propogated by a group calling themselves "Dem Franchize Boyz" with a song called "White Tee"(can't you tell how much thought they put into their music?), Crime Mob, with a song called "Black Tee", and Crime Mob again coming out with a song called "Pink Tee", dissing a group called The Diplomats; hence the banner. Honestly, this is some stupid s**t-these cats can pay hundreds of dollars for jewlery, but can't afford or match an outfit? stare sweatdrop . Please........
