One more comment like this, and I will kick you out, you fucking idiot.

god, the power you wield over this place is so sexy

OMG. A rapper from Harlem? That's too fucking cool. I've lived in New York for 20 years; I went to a public high school that has been now closed by the city because of a 70% drop out rate; what are you trying to impress me with?

i was just curious if u knew, i remember u mentioning once lowery got u into atmosphere (lol) so figured it wasnt really a genre u followed. the harlem rapper part was a general comment not aimed at u/to fill u in.

well, Christiane is right that the dude is at least excusable compared to previous rappers, I mean it is streetwear/sufu lookin shit. Compared to others like say, Jay-z who I've seen do bauhaus and a plain gray hoody under..fuck.

I think it bothers me more the state of rap music, everyone using ghost writers, everything is garbage now but that is besides the fashion point.

damn mang, sometimes I feel like youre roleplaying this shit lolloolol

[Patroklus]

it's rap for christs sake its supposed to be mildly catchy, interchangeable and about smoking tons of weed.

I'm pretty sure rap is supposed to be about whatever the artist wants it to be about.

It would appear the public mostly want to see a minstrel show of big, black and mean gangsters.

I don't know about that, at least Jay doesn't seem to be trying too hard, I'll take his ro jacket outfit over most of what I've seen rocky wear

I'm holding my breath for the lacanian analysis. You're that guy here that's big on Lacan, right?

also FWIW I will be sad if Patroklus is banned. I find his humor and wit to be like a fiery torch in an otherwise dark, black, cynical atmosphere. The background color of this forum had nothing to do with my judgement, I swear.

indeed. for instance, it could be about coming on a cone, and that my friend, is the highlight of the year, hiphop wise.

Nope! Here's the highlight of the year.

are u joking? no really, is this a joke? i am confuse because that shit is heinous

couple thoughts on recent discussion.

1. who is asap? and why should we care what he is wearing?
2. rap sucks 95% of the time.
3. the world is not clothes. for some people its just a jacket. i'm pretty sure jay-z has enough on his plate that he doesn't have the time or interest to dwell on fashion the way we do.
4. nikki minaj is a disease. or rather, a symptom of the larger disease. but she does have that...

my comment initially was really just to take the conversation away from political figures wearing expensive clothes, cuz i rather talk about anything besides politicians.
