The Official "Ask A Brotha" Thread

For the record, baggy pants = pants that fit loosely
Sagging pants = pants that fall below the hips

The difference is as simple as buying "loose fit" cut jeans in your waist size vs. buying any pants with a waist size larger than your own.



By the way, I think it's funny how this thread died at the end of January and got revived in early March. Skipped right over Black History Month.

Silent protest. Every month is black history month. :o
 
Any other brothas miss the Thick Woman Thread?

How about my white, Latino and Asian brothas?

RIP, Thick Woman Thread.


This entire website is devoted to superheroes, video games and cartoons. Every thread is an Asian thread.
 
Dear brotha,

Are onesies indeed considered "hip" and "with it" nowadays?

Sincerely,
One nerdy honky.
 
Not to my knowledge. I haven't seen any black people wearing them.
 
I heard about the birth of baggy pants actually happened inside prison. When males had their pants hanging under their butt it was to show that they were property of another guy......so that other inmates wouldn't try and do....stuff....to them.

If this is true, I have no idea why the heck it would become a trend outside prison. Wouldn't it just make straight guys look homosexual to their peers?

That is false.

I make black history everyday i dont need a month - Kanye West

To be honest, though, that's pretty much his answer for everything:

I fly to the North Pole every day, I don't need Christmas - Kanye West

I rise from the dead every week, I don't need easter - Kanye West

I can get a McRib any time I want, I don't need McDonalds - Kanye West

I read those in Kanye's voice.
 
Speaking of Kanye, anyone think he's hated a bit too much by white America.

Considering his biggest crimes were criticizing Bush during Katrina and interrupting Taylor Swifts video music award speech.
 
No I feel he doesn't get enough contempt and ridicule.

“There’s no mothereffing awards or sponsorships or none of that s' that can stop the dedication to bringing y’all that real s'. No matter how they try to control you, or the mothereffer next to you tries to peer pressure you, you can do what you mothereffing want. I am Michael Angelo, I am Picasso. I’m Walt Disney, I’m Steve Jobs.”

Maybe it's all an "act" but he doesn't lack any self esteem issues and honestly I roll my eyes half the time he says anything.

Best way to piss off White Americans.... interrupt a young blonde white girl during her acceptance speech. Might as well just drove down to Mississippi and took a dump on a Confederate flag.
 
He gets way too much hate just for that "Bush doesn't care about black people" remark and interrupting Taylor Swift. As for all the other times he's said something stupid in public, I think Kanye does a lot of it to get attention to keep his career going, but he doesn't plan it well enough (so he ends up saying things remarkably dumb or crazy instead of just mildly controversial).

You'll notice that for as loud and boisterous he can be, he manages to keep a surprising amount of his private life private. Sure we know who he's dating at any given moment, but only if that girl is already famous in some way. We barely know anything about the non-famous girl he was dating when he became famous, even though he mentions her and her family throughout College Dropout. Plus he's been asking Kim Kardashian to leave reality TV because he doesn't want his child raised on camera.

Sp yeah, I think the flashiness is kind of an act. And really, it's working out pretty well for him. For all the hate he gets, his song sales are still pretty high.

I want to like Kanye West: he's one of the few voices in the hip hop community who takes a stand against homophobia. But everything else he does is so obnoxious, to paraphrase Chris Rock, I'm tired of defending him.
 
Kanye's first two albums are some serious good hip hop. I don't tend to care about him outside the music because I don't pay attention to those things, but I do wish that he would have another classic like the first two. Graduation was good, and MBDTF was decent on the surface, but he hasn't made anything quite like those first two.

He needs his ass whupped though for 808's and Heartbreak.
 
Kanye West has all kinds of issues. West said he contemplated suicide when his mom died and he broke up with his fiance.

West seems to have no filter between his mouth and his brain but it actually doesn't bother me. Even his ego doesn't annoy me like it does other people. People love to hate Kanye West and its pretty easy to when he says dumb things all the time but atleast he is honest.

I would rather see someone who speaks their mind even if I don't agree with them then someone who smiles and tells you what you want to hear so that you like them or buy their products.

West seems to be far more disliked in America than the rest of the world it seems.

I don't understand why anyone cares about MTV music video awards or the Grammy Awards anyway. The only I hear any musician talked about as an MTV award winner is at the MTV awards.

The grammys are a music industry backslapping contest that is musically irrelevant.
 
I don't get why people care so much about awards shows in general. I understand why people want some kind of elite opinion on things, but some people get a ton of rage for these awards committees not agreeing with them. It's all just opinions, and none of them matter more than another except mine because I'm gangsta.
 
Only care about the ones that really matter, the Nickelodeon awards. At least they get slimed in that one.
 
Oh yeah, its the other way around. I knew it was one or the other. Still...its a bit ridiculous it became a fad outside of prisons....considering the birth of sagging ones pants.....:doh:
Either way it's always funny seeing these kids going around walking like George Jefferson.
 
You know I want to go up to some of these kids and go "do you know where that sagging pant fad came from?" I am afraid to though...because I'm white...and I am stereotypically afraid of confronting black men who look "gangsta".

If they even take your question seriously, they'll tell you it came from rappers in the 80's and 90's. And they'll mostly be right.

Just be glad Kanye's no 50 Cent, who hasn't even had a decent album since his debut album Get Rich and Stop Tryin'
