Video: Skinny Jeans (The World’s Gone Mad)
The hook says it all…
“The world’s gone mad, the world’s gone drag/Boys in their little sister’s jeans like, ‘Damn’!”
The
vid is courtesy of the The Protracktorz, featuring The Incomparable Shakespeare. Let the record show that many of your favorite rappers wore “snug” jeans back in the day (see left). However, said pioneers weren’t taking it to the the extreme, painted on, yeast infection inducing limits of today. Let the boys breathe. [II]

Comment by Ro "Rossman"... lol just kiddin' | August 17, 2009
those dudes needs to get a life. bitching about tight jeans shows how far out of the realm of cool hip-hop has gotten. instead of pushing style forward, rappers are now homophobic curmudgeons. stop being faggots.

Hey Lulz if rappers can rhyme about nothing and blindly follow trends, why can’t Shakespeare call them out for it?
