What the hell happened to this?

Actually, they look like crap on that pic too, but at least they were not wearing ugg boots or leopard leggings.

What do you say GAF, are the rappers in the pics above examples of creativity and originality, or they are just pretentious, hideously dressed insults to the genre?

Those aren't rappers. Those are clowns.

 

[HiiiLife]

There are plenty of rappers who don't dress like that. Lol. You just happened to pick the ones who dress like clowns.

 

[PBY]

Those aren't rappers. Those are clowns.

 

[Uno Venova]

I miss shiny suits, headbands and throwback jerseys.

 

[Kisaya]

I don't think it's too bad.

Yeah, I know. I found funny that some of the biggest, most influential do dress like clowns.

There are some artists that can pull off an "exotic" look really well. Kendrick dresses really well most of the time:

 

[DominoKid]

styles change.

btw kendrick dresses like he shops at the mall.

 

[HiiiLife]

^This is true OP. Lol.

Compared to the ones in the first post, I don't think this is bad at all.

 

[Phire Phox]

Kanye is the most fashionable rapper on the game.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Those aren't rappers. Those are clowns.

There's what I was looking for. Seriously though, fashion in hip hop has never been its selling point.

 

[zerotol]

Kriss Kross will make ya jump, jump

He's an awful designer:

wat? one of the cornerstones of hip hop is fashion & style. shit goes back to My Adidas and probably earlier.

 

[HiiiLife]

Andre 3000 was in a Gillette commercial. Give him a free pass lol.

 

[PBY]

[Davidion]

Some of the more eccentric stuff works, most don't.

I just kinda wish more people in hip hop took fashion cues from someone like Andre 3000.

Edit: Crap, late.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Nas has dressed like a clown in the past too, but I've been digging his current style quite a lot:

 

[HiiiLife]

Lupe Fiasco for Recon. Lol.

Okay I'm done with my input. Haha.

So many Ls

 

[FO-totality]

For every biggie and tupac there's a sir mix-a-lot and rick james, so to speak. Bad and outrageous clothing in popular music in nothing new at all.

Also, fuck "fashion".

 

[apocalidiot]

This picture confuses the fuck out of me

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Rocky crosses the line. WTF:

Hideous gundam like shoes and a purse?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

This picture confuses the fuck out of me

Me included.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Just jealous they got Givenchy and Comme Des Garcons while you got Gap and Old Navy.

 

[LightOfTruth]

^Fuck fly, I am fashion

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Real thugs dress like:

 

[HiiiLife]

^*dies*

 

[PBY]

This picture confuses the fuck out of me

 

[SteeloDMZ]

That looks like a mask outta Dark Souls.

 

[apocalidiot]

I think this takes the cake (from OP)

the URL says Kanye West mask, does anyone care to share the context?

 

[meltingparappa]

Birdman in Op is fuck awesome. (edit: from the post right above mine!)

Andre 3000 will save us all by being the king of kings in fashion.

Still not sure if Tupac was on the down low, and that image leaves me more confused than ever.

[Kwixotik]

You're only posting the worst examples. ASAP Rocky and Kanye look good most of the time.

 

[Zekes!]

[royalan]

I, for one, am glad that the standards for masculinity and what is and isn't acceptable has become a lot less rigid and a lot more open-minded in the Hip Hop community. It's called change and progress.

 

[RustyNails]

It's not fashion..it's dumbassery.

 

[Cipherr]

I'm screaming. He looks ridiculous. Forget hip-hop, I would settle for the entire city of New York doing something about Spike Lee's ridiculous looking ass.

The hell is that?
