“If a nigga put on a dress you gonna start wearing one too?” -50 Cent

Trends come and go. Some are worse than others but lately I’ve been noticing a few that just need to go. Super trendy niggas in their tight jeans and scarves with their chain wallets are about to get aired out. So if you swag out, or you are the type to wear shades in the club, this truth might be a little too honest for you. This will be a two part series, one in which I will be detailing trends that I personally feel need to be reprimanded and thrown out of the game immediately, and the second part with my personal take on the reasons for why we see such trendi-ness going on and what is the end result. Because to me that is the biggest problem, not the trends themselves but why so many people are jumping on them and for what reasons. So here we go starting with numero uno.

 

1. The Scarves

 

 This one is just too obvious and to me the all around gayest. Since when was it the look to wear a scarf in the middle of summer?! Everyday I see at least one super trendy guy wearing a scarf that matches his checkerboard shoes and shirt. Come on people. Maybe Jim Jones and Juelz can get away with it, but that doesn’t mean you have to try to as well. What’s even crazier is the fact that I live in the south and I still see this on a daily basis. It’s not cold outside for damn sure and it ain’t that windy either playa. So the next time you feel compelled to wrap that brand new cashmere or silk scarf that matches the panties your secretly wearing underneath those skinny jeans, instead just go ahead and hang yourself with it.

 

2. Wearing Shades Indoors

 

Once again, too easy here. Why the fuck are you wearing glasses inside? Do you need to be that cool? Are you that afraid of letting the people see who you really are? Trust me we wont hate you, just show us your face guy. This trend alone is bad enough, but to the niggas wearing shades in the club, again it’s just an automatic kill yourself. The club is already dark as shit! The women I talk to think it’s annoying and pompous at best so your not winning in that area. Most grown men see it as a means of hiding yourself and a sign of inconfidence, once again not attractive to the females! If your not Rick Ross or legally blind it is not acceptable to wear shades ALL THE TIME. Look we all know your cool and important but please know when enough is enough. I think Florida rapper Heretic summed it up best when he spit “And I never wear shades/ I got nothing to hide/ tell where the swagger came from by the pride in my eyes”. Take note people.

 

3. Chain Wallets

 

I don’t know how the hell this one sprung up. All of a sudden the rock n roll fly look came in and with it the return of chain wallets. These used to be a must have accessory of skate boarders and punk rockers in the 90’s before they even became too wack for that crowd. Yet lo and behold the super trendy’s of hip hop came and revitalized it. Once again Jimmy and Juelz can do them, that doesn’t mean we all have to. It’s hilarious to see a ‘gangsta’ rapper who rhymes about street life and murking out people for their packages to have some swinging chain wallet bouncing around when they walk. Your not a biker, a skater, or a dyke so why the hell is this going on? A year ago before you saw Wayne rocking one you would not of dared put on a damn chain wallet. That was for the nerds and weirdo’s right? Now today though it’s all you. So Mr. Super Trendy just like with the scarves, take the chain and wrap it around your neck. Trust me it would make your swagger be on a hundred thousand trillion…

 

4. Super Skinny Jeans

 

And last but certainly not least is the starter of it all in my opinion, the skinny jeans. I say this because they came first and honestly they go hand in hand with the rest of these. If you saw a guy wearing a scarf or a chain wallet, odds are they weren’t wearing it while busting a sag on some baggy jeans. Think about it…they were probably wearing skinny jeans!  It seems like once these came around all hell broke loose in Super Trendy land. Now I’m not stuck in the 90’s. I realize the whole big baggy jeans look is a bit high school and I have nothing against wearing clothes that fit you. But if I can see the blood pumping in your veins through your jeans then goddamn! Some of these guys seriously look like The Ramones or something with the shit their wearing. Loosen it up a little bit, at least for the sake of your chain wallet having some more room to bounce around on. So fitted is good but super skinny has to go!         

 

Stay tuned as next week I will be giving part 2 and discussing why we are seeing what we are seeing and the reasons behind it. Super Trendy’s beware, your time is near…
