Marlon Wayans & Lord Jamar Twitter beef over Omar Epps rocking a leather mini Skirt

[solecity]

No, you just know nothing about hip hop

Growing up as a American/Dominican I admit, Hip Hop wasn't my life. I def. know hip hop but I also diversified myself with Hispanic music and such. Sorry I don;t recognize every single hip hop artist since 85.

Ok, it does kinda resemble a skirt i must admit. But you fools talking about the feminization are corny. Cuz there has been plenty of men rocking similar fits for years in other countries but as soon as it hits hip hop yall think its a gay and/or feminization movement

Word like cats can't wear nothing. not everybody wanna rock pelle coats and girbaud jeans like 2003, Jamar stuck in the past smh

The Greeks were freaks. I think calling them "straight" is a bit of a stretch. Not all of them of course.

I'm getting old man, WHO THE HELL IS LORD JAMAR

that made no sense actually

you must be young if you dunno who he is an youre a hip hop head

im born in 85 btw

Pretty much, that was backwards Lord Jamar is probably the same age as a Wu-Tang member. I heard of Jamar through Sadat X, through Common.

 

[sn00pee]

And tbh, his stylist SUCKS. He aint cudi or rocky. He coulda rocked a little bit more tradition yet original style.

But then again... he got the buzz he wanted i guess┐(￣ヘ￣）┌

I think its weird that if you say its wrong for a man to wear a skirt you are looked at as crazy and close minded. I dont understand why a man would want to wear a skirt anyway. yall gone be defending dudse wearing lipstick, eye liner and heels too? talking bout "he evolved early on yall". very strange to me.

I know this might be difficult for you to grasp. But there are men, Real straight men that do all of the above. I dont necessary like what epps was wearing, and i wouldnt wear it. But what he's wearing shouldn't be seen strictly as something a woman and/or gay man would wear.

Its just a representation of a black man growing up without a father that has these black men being feminized in the media. These guys are essentially expressing their femininity that they got subconsciously from their mother's enabling them to feel masculine in a dress. They felt as though their mother's were both their fathers and mothers, so really they got a masculine vibe from their moms. So now they feel as though they can wear a dress like moms did and feel like a man while tucking your nuts.

I'm shocked to see Omar Epps jumping on this trend. There's nothing wrong with evolving, everybody that's at least 23 can say that they wear their clothes slimmer than they did in high school but where do you draw the line? If you're old enough you've seen this go from one extreme to the next. From baggy clothes, to slimmer clothes, to flat out women jeans, to now skirts.


What another dude wears really doesn't effect me but I just don't get why a man would want to wear a damn skirt.

 

[jbc908]

[@]FuriousStylez23[/@ ]That's complete bs what you just said, there are so many cats without pops dressing the norm, that is just a generalization. If that was true most of my homies would be out here with pixie cuts and belly shirts too right?

 

[goldenchild9]

Marlon ended up getting roasted.

The skirt trend, dressing up like a woman to get major media looks is Masonic initiation that many of the people involved in may or many not even be aware of.

 

[TURBO UNO]

Social media now has men trying so hard to be different and appear "cultured" that they're resorting to wearing skirts

....worse are those who know its a bad look but still defend so they appear hip and "cultured".

and you'll quickly be labelled homophobic, but there's no agenda.....

Marlon Wayans displayed some of the WORST debate skills in that Twitter debate. My god

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Marlon Wayans trash. He swear he can roast. He lost roast sessions to non-comedians. I remember he embarrassed himself when he got into that session with Joe Budden

Thanks to Sadat X and Grand Puba, Brand Nubian is a legendary crew. I was just listening to Foundation on Friday. I love that album.

While this clown Jamar might have a point, he's clearly not going about addressing it the right way (kind of like Spike addressing gentrification). Jamar has a voice (and somehow still has a small platform). He should explain his thoughts and reasoning like an adult as opposed to just throwing shade. He might get somewhere and allow people to understand his opinion vs just writing him off. 

Yo but on the real, I'm copping a kilt in the next year or two. Going to run me about $1,100 all in. I'm gonna buy the official Michigan State Tartan wool (which is the fabric pattern - most tartans are family or geographic / territory specific) and have it made into a kilt. Planning on rocking it for all future St. Patty's Days, and some formal events. Maybe even my wedding if I ever get married.
