Parachute Pants- Hammer's name will never be mentioned in those G.O.A.T roundtable discussions, but I'd be damned if his name isn't written in stone on a list of the most influential. Think Diddy was the brains behind the shiny suits in hip hop? Think again. Give credit where credit is due; Hammer is responsible for those embarrassing home videos of you doing the running man with a pair of shiny gold oversized parachute pants on.
*Side Note- any pair of pants with elastic should not be worn by anyone below the age of 55.
Male Capri Pants- This is a current trend that needs to end immediately. Either wear jeans or wear shorts, you can't do both. Does this really need explanation? It's a oxymoron. Male Capri Pants= Not Hip Hop.
Backwards clothes - Jermaine Dupri and his two prepubescent clones, mack daddy and daddy mack,(kriss kross) once again prove that black people will do anything to stand out. Luckily, there's no incriminating evidence of me during this period in time because my mom refused to let me leave the house with my clothes on backwards. I owe you one mama!
The Tall Tee- Here's another current trend that needs to end immediately. T-shirts aren't meant to come down to your knees!!! If the sleeve of your tee reaches your wrist, you've pretty much defeated the purpose. You might as well have worn a long sleeve shirt.
*side note- airbrushed tall tees are WACK!!
Update: Any type of airbrush is WACK!!
Cross Colours- Apparently, Cross Colours is trying to make a comeback. I just hope they don't try anything ridiculous like trying to bring back purple jean shorts. No grown man should feel comfortable wearing purple denim (or any other color for that matter).
Honorable Mention: Cam'ron. You already know.
There you have it, the 5 worst trends in hip hop fashion. If you are guilty of wearing capri pants and tall tees, please stop. Your embarrassing yourself. We're not laughing with you we're laughing at you.
