I started to thing about tight pants, after I looked at swagger's 2009 spring/summer line which is modeled by hip-hop artists Lupe Fiasco, The Cool Kids, Mickey Factz, DJ Mano and Hollywood Holt.

I love tight pants in the punk rock music scene

I love tight pants in the indie music scene

I love tight pants in the hardcore music scene

So I obvious love it in the hip-hop music scene.

So what do you think about hip-hop artists in tight pants?

Is there such thing as pants that are "too tight"

Do tight pants demasculent guy?

Are tight pants a cleaner look compared to baggy pants?

Is tight pants a region trend?

Do tight pants automatically make you fashionable?

Do tight pants make you look like a backpaker?

Do tight pants make you a hipster?

Do tight pants make a hypebeast?

Do people consider tight pants the newest trend?

Did you give people more respect if they wear tight pants and skateboard?

Kid Cudi made a post on his blog about the phenomenal of tight pants and his fan's perception.

WHY PEOPLE ARE WORRIED IF MY NUTS CAN BREATHE IN MY JEANS LOL
MY LOINS ARE VERY WELL SITUATED THANK YOU TO ALL WHO ARE CONCERNED…..MAN, IT MEANS A LOT THAT SOME PEOPLE REALLY CARE ABOUT MY COCK AND BALLS LIVING SITUATION SO MUCH. WEVE BEEN ROLLIN TOGETHER FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS NOW AND THEYVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE CLIMATE OR COMFORT LEVEL IN MY PANTS (except when i made the switch from boxers to boxer briefs but theyve learned to adjust)…SO ITS ALL GOOD GUYS, I APPRECIATE THE WORRY THO LMAO

The Brooklyn based hip-hop group, Ninjasonik loves tight pants so much that they made a song about it.

watch the original video

In Oh Snap!!'s song, 'Too Fat To Be A Hipster', he makes it clear that everyone isn't skinny enough to fit into skinny jeans. In the lyrics he says, "I'm too fat to be hipster, 'cause skinny jeans don't come in my size/ I wear baggy jeans because that's what comes in 42s/I like to dress fly, but fuck it I love food/All my big boned brothers do you know what I mean/The ladies don't like chunky asses running around in skinny jeans"

Oh Snap!!--Too Fat To Be A Hipster (mp3)

In Jay-Z's verse on the song 'Swagger Like Us ft. Kanye West, Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne', he says "Can't wear skinny jeans cause my knots don't fit/No one on the corner got a pocket like this/So I rock Roc jeans cause my knots so thick"

In the Kanye West's verse of 'Gifted ft. Kanye West, Santogold & Lykke Li' he says, "It seems like everyone dresses tight now, and I just want my credit"

In Mikey Rock's verse of the The Cool Kids song, 'Box of Rocks', he says, "Stop at the station he like why your pants tight/I'm like it doesn't matter because I sell out shows every damn night/they be like damn right".

The song 'Box of Rocks' is on their mixtape, That's Stupid, which can be downloaded HERE.

Last year rapper Mazzi of S.O.U.L. Purpose dissed a lot of hip-hop artists in a lame attempt to get fame. In his song, 'Lesson A', he said, "The Cool Kids are wack/The Pack want their style back… Get the hell back on your bike and cycle on/With those tight-ass jeans/And probably even tighter thongs". I will admit that he made a valid point about the popularity of the keffiyeh and the fact that very few people know the history of their fashion accessory. However, Mazzi quickly contradicts himself and proves that attack raps, name drops and old school music references will not make up for a lack a lyrical talent. If all of Mazzi's statements were true, it would be impossible for anyone in their early twenties or younger to make a homage to old school hip-hop.

Lesson B w/ Q-Tip...yes Q-Tip went on tour with The Cool Kids after he made this video.

Here is another lame diss track. If people think tight clothes and 80s/90s hip-hop is a trend, then the tracks that diss these people are a trend that lacks originality and talent. Hip-hop is still alive and the lyrics and beats of old school revival artists show that they appreciate artists like Audio Two, Run DMC, Slick Rick, De La Soul, Digable Plants, EPMD, Mos Def, Q-Tip, Souls of Mischief, A Tribe Called Quest. These new artists also show that its good to appreciate other genres like indie and electro, because artists like Afrika Bambaataa crossed music styles in the 1980s.

Termanology--Tight Pants Are For Girls (mp3)

Overall, it takes WAY more than a image to be a good MC. Musicians like Hollywood Holt, The Cool Kids, Ninjasonik, Million $ Mano, Kanye West, ect. happen to wear tight pants, but they have loads of talent that go along with it. Also, if your born a man, then your a man. If your sexually attracted to men, then your gay and that's the only time people should use that word. People shouldn't allow society to limit your individuality. The rawest MC can wear a v-neck, a cardigan and skinny jeans or a white t and baggy pants. Clothes don't affect talent. Dressing well doesn't make you a good artist or cool, because your potential is based on your knowledge and ability. A problem only arises when people wear certain clothes so they look cool, because life is more about being yourself than being authentic. Some people are destined for greatness and they can't live a satisfied life while being a clone of mainstream society, eventually groups of individuals will look alike to a certain extent, but at least they feel true to themselves.

But maybe I'm biased, because I love men, good hip-hop, classic hip-hop, fashion, tight pants, respect and intellect.

It's from the NO to the Go. I'm so chi, but i'm so bold, millions of records like K or lil Weezy will be sold.

Recent news has made me attempt to write rhymes.....

Hollywood Holt and Million $ Mano will be at Steetwear Sundays 

NEXT SUNDAY IN NEW ORLEANS!!!!

Million $ Mano is a dj who grew up in a area thats down the street from my house. Instead of getting involved in the negative activities that Chicago's southside call pull young people into, he turned to music. But he didn't follow the mainstream trends of music, instead he made music that he liked, which included hip-hop, indie rock, dance music, electro, R&B, and WAAAAAY more stuff. Mano was the dj for M.I.A. when she went on tour and has performed at many music festivals.

Hollywood Holt is Mano's first cousin, but they are more than that. The two Chicagoians breakdanced together at The Point in Hyde Park (this is where I went to school and where Obama lived), created of the Murder Club moped crew, and are music partners. I can't wait to the see the guy's classic cool shades, tats, sixpack abs, four finger rings, buttoned up flannel and maybe some breakdancing. Also Hollywood Holt is the only rapper that I know of who has a septum piercing besides Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. He is a big name in Chicago's music scene and I can hear his influence in New Orleans artists like Cypher and Wally. Even Kanye likes the dude, so great things are soon to come.

As we say in Chicaaaago.....TREATED

Here is Hollywood Holt's video 'Hollywood'

Here is Hollywood Holt's video 'Throw a Kit'

You might remember Hollywood Holt's face from when he showed off his breakdancing and freestyling skills on 'So You Think You Can Dance'.

If someone asked me, what do I like more individual songs or mixed, I'll have to say mixes. As a major fan of artists like Justice, Klever, Steve Aoki, Busy P, Willy Joy, Sinden, Girl Talk, Digitalism, Flosstradamus, Kid Color, and so on, I got really excited when I heard about the new mix from New Orleans dj duo Force Feed Radio. The new mix is called "Blood On The Dance Floor". It featuring music from MGMT, Diplo, Partners n Crime, Pitbull, and more dance bangers.

Download it HERE.

Do you think musicians sound better when you can't see their face. Here is the masked DJ duo, Blood Beetroots' new video 'WARP' featuring DJ master Steve Aoki. When I first saw it, I was reminded of the first time I went to theCobrasnake. The song is undeniably a 'banger' and the constant product placement of DIM MAK items makes me even more pleased. Lastly I love the blipster on the far right, the blue blood, and Steve Aoki's floral Chad Muska Skytop Supras. I was surprised Aoki wasn't wearing his signature Strapped NS Supras, but hey you need to change it up sometimes so you can keep people on their toes.

As a twitter addict, I love videos/comics/articles about twitter. Some people say it's random bragging about people's unexceptional lives, but I think its amazing fun.
Beware of the fail whale. lol
