Didn’t 10 billion people already get their panties in a knot over this picture? =p
im firen meh peniz at yu!!
whats up with his underwear and pink jacket???????
Black version of the whoever the latest “boy band” is. I’ll bet this is just another guy who has learned that he can impress prepubescent kids by dressing that way, and he’s not capable of impressing anyone else. You might call it “playing to his strength”, though you might also call it “setting your sights pretty damned low”.
Why do you assume that? It’s actually a wildly popular streetwear label sported by a number of artists, both successful and underground. Just because you don’t go for a certain fashion doesn’t make it “setting your sights low.”
As for his music, it’s hit or miss — quite a bit is worthless trash, and other tracks, particularly ones where he can sample someone else’s beat and focus solely on MCing, are simply gold.
That still doesn’t impress me. It looks like fluffy clouds out of the Care Bears or something.
The Care Bears-vibe from his undies clashes horribly with the tattoos and “Rape” belt buckle. Seriously, it’s like he dresses in the dark or something.
I agree he looks like an idiot, but at least the belt buckle doesn’t say rape- it’s “Bape.”
Someone neglected their education…
“particularly ones where he can sample someone else’s beat”
so the best thing he does is steal other peoples music…..
sticking up for the up himself asswipe crapper… epic fail
It’s not stealing someone else’s music. He takes the beat, writes new lyrics, and releases the end result for free. It’s called a mixtape; re-imagining an existing song is different from stealing it. Look at Girl Talk, it’s a similar situation.
okay. Is he making money off the song he puts out on an album? Because if he does that royalty free, that’s pretty much stealing and piggybacking off the success and work of another artist. Just because he shouts rhymes over it doesn’t make him a genius artist.
1.) I repeat, He takes the beat, writes new lyrics, and releases the end result for free. FREE.
(That means for no money).
It’s called a mixtape; re-imagining an existing song is different from stealing it.
2.) Simply using another musician’s music in your own song is not necessarily stealing. There is a provision in Copyright law called Fair Use, which allows for things like parody, homage, and free use. It allows artists to sample small bits, and as long as it’s not the entire basis for their song, they’re allowed to legally use it — and release it for profit — without breaking the law. (It’s a simplified explanation, but it’ll do for now. Look at Girl Talk for an example of this fair use concept: about 10% of his music is original, but the songs themselves are 100% original. It’s a re-imagining of previously recorded music. His second album, Feed the Animals, is available on a pay-what-you-want pricing scheme — I paid zero cents. His first was released traditionally, so I paid the 14 or so dollars for it. In both cases, he makes highly original music using stuff already recorded. Check out Feed the Animals for what I’m talking about; like I said it’s legally available for free download
3.) That tangent aside, what I’m talking about is not that. When Wayne takes the beat from Beyonce’s “Upgrade,” raps over it, and releases it, he either needs her permission or he can’t make money off of it. So he releases to mixtapes for free, makes no money, and adds his contribution /free of charge./ He makes no money (on the mixtapes), and he improves — or at the least re-imagines — many of the works he samples. It’s not piggybacking or stealing. And it’s the rhymes and wordplay that he speaks, not shouts — if you listen to him, you’ll see his flow is generally pretty understated and slow, more smug than bravado — that makes him the genius he is.
Just stop it…no one cares…go blog about it lame.
Just so you understand, his mixtapes are free downloads (quite a few, if not all, available at datpiff.com). They differ from his commercial albums (Da Carter III, for example), which tend to be more originally-produced songs. Which are, in my mind, not nearly as well done as the mixtapes.
Which, as I said earlier, makes him a much better MC than producer. Kanye West is the opposite — his production abilities are incredible, but he’s only so-so at rapping. They’re two independent facets of hip-hop…neither one
necessarily more important than the other.
Didn’t someone do that about twenty years ago?
Oh yeah. Vanilla Ice.
I think I will wear fascist clothing in public and when people criticize me for being a white power hate machine I will scream “PROFILIN’!!!!!!” what a load of crap. Expression through what you wear is like finding a cure for cancer by looking good. Prove yourself as a worthwhile human being instead of bowing to some profile inducing fashion. Sagging is a morons approach to causing media drama and ignoring the fact that showing your idiotic behind in public makes you look like a moron.This kind of selfish imagery takes food out of the mouths of children, who are subject to their parents buying overpriced crap, and not getting the money from said overpriced crap “Urban” fashion” to pay for better schools, a better place to live. I cannot count the times I have actually heard a parent who dresses like this idiot, pays $125 for sneakers and $400 for just one outfit and tells me “We’re barely makin’ it” (I am talking about white parents too who love this style and imagery). If you have money fine, but don’t encourage stupidity.
Man…. It’s like, my fist.. Is just attracted to his face.
who cares? man’s a twat. ive never even heard his music, but i get spam featuring this picture everyday and i hate him for it.
mooooooooooooooooo
U don’t wanna hear his music *shudders*
He sang the extremely akward parts of Let It Rock
*gags*
rated 1 star and flaged for stupid content
By the looks of it, pants will soon be irrelevant for them, kinda reminds me of the good old movie ‘Don’t be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood’
Never been laid, eh?
Them? Black people?
No, the french canadians. them and their crazy sagging pants trends…
Is that a bag of gold around his neck? I believe the jews wear those.
Actually, wearing a bag of gold round the neck is an old celtic custom – if you died on the road, whoever found your body was supposed to take the gold and make sure you had a proper funeral. But you’re just making a South Park reference, not being anti-semitic right?
ur dumb hahaha im beter then u
How when you can’t spell?
So… his belt says “Rape”…
It says Bape, it’s a line of clothing.
if i sAw this guy i would punch him or kik him in the nuts that he doesnt have
You’d “kick him in the nuts that he doesn’t have?”
So you wouldn’t kick him?
i think he meant he would punch him with his tonsils. repeatedly and with enthusiasm.
You fail at life…its never too late to be aborted.
If he doesn’t have nuts…what is the point in kicking him in the nuts? I mean you know what he do and don’t have…
hey would shoot u if u even came close 2 him. just sayin
Well, the B looks way too much like an R. And most people haven’t heard of “Bape.” (How do you even pronounce that? Is it Bah-pay? Does it rhyme with rape? Now I’m even more confused…)
I thought it said rape too!
I thought it was Rape too,
was wondering if it was a request,,,
or an admission of guilt
I thought it said “rape” too… this guy is indeed the fool. He’s wearing pink camo, his underwear looks like it’s as up as high as goofys pants AND it matches his belt…
I’m of the understanding that wearing one’s pants under the buttocks started as a symbol in prisons that one was available for sexual intercourse of the anal kind.
It is so nice to see that music artists aren’t afraid these days to continue advertising their sexual orientation.
You are correct.
no, he’s not. click my name to be educated.
he does look like an umpa lumpa
but what about the pink camo?
he’s totally teh ghey
you suck kunts
which is not gay
(unlike the picture above)
sub 4 sub?
Educated?? LOLOLOLOL
Not correct. Just because its a widespread urban legend does not make it true.
Educate yourself once in a while. Its fun! I promise!
actually that’s a rumor
http://www.snopes.com/risque/homosex/sagging.asp
though I heard once from where I don’t remember that many men would wear tehir jeans like that to symbolize that they were rapists, it’s not to symbolize that anymore, it’s just a fashion now, but it never started out to show that you were ready to take it in the ass
wait so he’s wearing a belt that most people think reads “RAPE” which i absolutely agree with, and he’s also sporting a fashion that allegedly used to label you a rapist??? lol what? does anyone else see a connection here???
does his beltbuckle say “rape”? what the?
Nah, BAPE is what it says, BAPE.
jelly-ous.
Even if it is actually BAPE you’re clearly meant to think RAPE. Charming.
BAPE, bathing ape
wierd right?
wtfe
HAHAHA Caption WIN!!!!
Im Pitty teh Fool !!!
No his belt says BAPE.
what is bape?
its a clothing range, this pic was a featured LOL a few months ago and there was a whole big thing then also about people thinking his belt said rape, had over 300 comments, you should search back for it, some of the peeps got pretty mad though but it did make for an amusing read!
It is RAPE, but censored. Srsly.
Yes it does look kinda Photo Shopped…
No. It’s not. Srsly. It’s Bape. It’s a clothing line started by a Japanese designer known for its wild colors and limited edition clothing. It’s a condensation of “Bathing ape.” Everything he’s wearing in this picture is Bape — check the B on his zipup for confirmation that it’s not an R.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bape
No idea lol
this ‘fool’ makes more money in a day than any of us make in a year. sure, lets pity him. it makes complete sense to pity him because we don’t agree with how he dresses or the music he makes. because anyone different than you is a complete idiot, right?
“because anyone different than you is a complete idiot, right?”
No, not necessarily anyone. Just this fool.
“…because anyone different than you is a complete idiot, right?”. Actually, people who are not idiots would know that in proper English that phrase should have been ‘…different from you’ not the incorrect ‘different than you’. I suppose that if you’re defending a rapper then we should not expect you to be articulate, making you an incomplete idiot. Most people who are not like me are incomplete idiots, usually missing something fundamental.
ZXCV: I may have to bear your love-children.
“Different than” has invaded the language to the point that NPR announcers have been heard saying it.
Nothing else, really…just that.
Ah, the old standbys. The fact that it’s gotten that pervasive makes it now acceptable — even Strunk and White admits that such is the case.
The same is true for splitting infinitives and ending sentences with prepositions. They’ve become so prevalent and accepted that they can hardly be said to be grammatical errors; they won’t be considered as such within a few generations.
Oh, and before we get down on rappers and those who listen to them, let’s not forget that wordplay, flow, rhyme, and made-up terms were also integral to another bard — and he appealed mainly to the “great unwashed” in his lifetime, too.
Yes, but Shakespeare’s sex jokes were occasional, not something he beat people over the head with. Juliet wore a tasteful dress, not a tank top and Daisy Dukes with her huge assets (up front and out back) hanging out of them.
The Bard may have been bawdy, it is true. But he still had a good sense of what constitutes “going too far.”
He also lived in the sixteen goddamn hundreds. Times were different.
And Lil Wayne’s music is about himself and his money as often or moreso than it is about sex. So, you know, have an understanding about what you’re slamming before you do so.
Yeah. That makes him acceptable. Because he acts and dresses like a complete tool, but it’s okay, because he’s only talking about his over inflated ego and his undeserved money. Role model of the year.
you are obviouslt talking about a completely different 17th centry to the one i know and love
What? naughtyhorse, that makes beyond no sense. What are you saying?
And dg, all I’m saying is his music isn’t the hypersexualized misogynistic music people imagine it to be. And in reality he’s far more soft spoken a person than you’d expect — it’s a persona he’s crafted for hip-hop. It’s a performance, see?
And as for acting and dressing like a complete tool: you’re entitled to think that. Doesn’t mean it’s true; it’s just your opinion. Projecting your personal opinion as truth, and he’s the one with an over-inflated ego?
“Projecting your personal opinion as truth, and he’s the one with an over-inflated ego?” First off, I stated my opinion. And it is apparently an opinion shared by many. Men who choose a persona such as this, who are looked up to by young people, many of whome cannot separate the persona from the man, should be shunned. Not made excuses for. He promotes that sort of thug attitude and overblown ego way of life in everything he does. From the way he dresses, the way he carries himself. The gold, the tattoos the expression on his face, the clothes he wears. He promotes a lifestyle devoid of true class and any sophistication. He promotes a lifestyle that is a child’s vision of what class is. Expensive things and telling everyone how classy and great you are. That is why he’s scum. Regardless of whether or not he’s “soft spoken” in real life. In real life he puts on a persona to make money off of people who don’t know any better and perpetuates the negative idea that it’s a good thing to base your merit on possessions and money rather than being someone truly worthwhile.
1.) Your opinion applies to how you feel about him. As far as I’m concerned, there needn’t be something to “make up for” the fact that he “acts and dresses like a complete tool.” I don’t like pro wrestling, but I understand that there are people who do. Same goes for NASCAR fans and burnout neo-hipies. But just because I don’t share their sense of what’s entertaining doesn’t mean I walk around projecting my opinion as truth. I’m sure there’s something you enjoy that could just as easily be branded as “acting and dressing like a complete tool,” I’m just not wont to do that.
2.) “Save the children! He’s a bad influence!”
That’s what parents are for. The music he produces is simply not child-friendly. I’ll be the first to admit it. But this question of “shunning” him because you’re afraid of his influence is asinine. I like his music. I think he’s wildly more intelligent than anyone gives him credit for. I understand the way he dresses is a hugely popular style. I like Lil Wayne.
Speaking of which, I was a bit confused by your statement. You say “He makes money off of people who don’t know any better,” but it’s a bit unclear what they don’t know better. What don’t they know any better than? I don’t follow — what is it you know that I don’t? Again, this seems like a question of taste, not knowledge. Opinion, not fact. And you’ll notice that while he’s rapping generally about material possessions, he still takes the time to produce more tracks than any other artist. So there is something worthwhile in him — as long as you can set aside your musical tastes and see that what he’s doing, while not worthwhile to you, may be to others.
yeah… in the mid-1500s. He sure had a REAL enlightened view of sexual liberation and most DEFINITELY took steps to keep his humor DECENT. gosh. geez. my goodness. WWJD? … … … …
Hahaha… I love this commenter. You sound like my fiancee.
I remembered the specific example I was thinking of, too — when the book was first published, EB White made it clear that the word “alright” was unacceptable, and the separated version “all right” was the only acceptable form of that sentiment.
That was in the mid 1900s, if memory serves.
See if “alright” is considered a misspelling today in any dictionary or, hell, spell checker.
actually, being as anal about grammar as you are being in a format as informal as this is a much better example of being an idiot. and fyi, i’m an honor student in one of the best business schools in the country.
You can be in the best school in the world and still look like an idiot.
yay for linguistic prejudice
Thank you. This man makes money similar to the way BOZO the clown does — but he makes exponentially more. Poor Lil Wayne knows how to act his way into millionaire status. He’s definitely not a fool and all the haters are probably just jealous that a black man can achieve that kind of status.
LOL
the year of ‘THE’ election victory then heralds the the first signs of the entry of the US into polite civilised society and this tosser is the black dude we are all jealous of.
even more epic-er fail than the last eejit
Yep
It’s a JOKE, dude. You know, like when Letterman used to pick on Richard Simmons and badmouth Dr Phil? He had nothing against them, it was all just for laughs (and they got the joke).
Please feel free to take things less seriously. Life’s less of a pain in the ass that way.
”this ‘fool’ makes more money in a day than any of us make in a year” bit of an over exaggeration wouldnt you say??
I will almost guarantee that the day Tha Carter III dropped, he made more money than almost anyone who visits this website will make in a single year, possible more than a theoretical visitor will make in two.
How does this make him any less of a degenerate tool? Because he makes money, it validates the idiotic way he presents himself and his poor excuse of a “persona”?
Why do people feel mentioning what someone has have anything to do with his lack of lyrical talent? If people liked someone just based on someone’s income… you know what…never mind…
No amount of money can make someone like someone’s music when they suck.
Boo hoo.
That guy always reminds me of OG Loc in GTA San Andreas… :.D
Dear god… why would you do this to your self? what is he going to look like when his is 75 and has all these tattoos?
HOLY BALLS YOU STOLE MY NAME
NOT COOL MANG
cruise control etc
That’s assuming he’ll live that long?
when he’s 75…. he’ll look like hes been dead for about 50 years
… with a bit of luck
He probably premeditated that and realized that he won’t live to be 50…hell 40 years old.
You’re all forgetting: this is the internet and even if you provide pics it still didn’t happen. For instance, nobody is going to convince me that this guy actually exists. Or that people dress like him.
Srsly though; he’s talentless and he’s done well out of it. Good on him. Now whatever it is you think makes you superior to him, imagine how well you could be doing out of that by comparison… and go to it, foo’!
I know it says “BAPE”, but my and probably 97% of the population of people don’t know that it is a clothing company. Sorry, didn’t get that memo. Looks like RAPE, and I don’t think peolpe are going to do a search it. That being said, he’s still a moron…a rich moron, but still a moron. Influencing our children with disrespect toward women and authority. After hearing his music, I’m not surprised when young people don’t hold doors open for ladies or give up seats for the elderly.
because it’s all up to Hollywood and the music industry to raise your children right? If kids turn they way they do, blame the parents, not the media
If only parents actually raised their children. More and more often, kids are on their own. I’m not saying it is everybody, a lot of children do come from decent homes with attentive parents. Young men who lack a father figure have to look somewhere, so why not TV? Just saying, parents should moniter their children.
yeah!
cos when im at the ATM late at night, i’m looking over my shoulder for the media…. oh wait a minute, where did i hear that before?
I agree with you there. There is a sobering lack of respect in a large percentage of the youth today. And we wonder why there is more violence and the like.
*gets off soap box*
*gets back on*
To those who wear your pants like that. How do you walk/run? and PULL THEM UP!!!!
*gets back off*
“To those who wear your pants like that. How do you walk/run?”
Like penguins. I laugh, out loud, when I see people trying to talk around like that. I guess they think it looks cool to walk like an animal.
And show off your undies. I swear, every time I go to work, I end up thinking “I see London, I see France…” at least 100 times a day. Bloody kids and their refusal to buy pants that fit.
I have nothing against baggy pants. I just have a problem with the idea of buying pants that are 6 sizes too large, just to be hip. They do make pants with small waistlines and huge legs, guys. They look just as trendy as rapper pants, but they actually stay where pants are intended to be.
I do. And I like his music.
And your ignorance makes you to blame, not him.
Yes, I’m to blame because I’m just a dumb woman…if I weren’t a woman, I would haave nothing to complain about right? I’m to blame because I am educated beyond an 8th grade level, and I make my money not objectifying women and rapping about killing cops. Yes, that makes sense, right?
what does you being a woman have anything to do with this? Have you ever heard his music or read his lyrics, or are you just making assumptions?
I never said anything about being a woman; I said your ignorance to the existence of a fairly popular (albeit in one or two niche audiences) clothing brand makes you to blame for your shock/disgust at his Bape belt buckle. His wearing a belt buckle that anyone familiar with the Bape line would recognize in an instant — especially given that that’s the only clothing he’s wearing in this photo — is not responsible for your offense. It’s on the receiving end, not the sending one.
And as I said, I’m a respectful, well brought up college educated young man. And the majority of his rap is about how much money he has, how great he is, and how he likes to party.
only a small bit is “objectifying” to woman (which, I might at, is “empowering” when a female “objectifies” a man), and I can’t off the top of my head come up with a single song where he glorifies copkilling.
Are you just jumping on the moral outrage bandwagon, or are you familiar with his music?
Yes, I have heard his music. I don’t like it. I wasn’t talking about him in particular. I was more referring to the who rap genre. Like, Three-six Mafia, Daddy Yankee, T.I., Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy…take your pick. I’m sure if I were a man, it wouldn’t bother me as much. But as it is, I am a woman, and it does bother me. I used to listen to that kind of music before I actually sat and listened to the words and read the lyrics.
I don’t know how to put this to you, that is little wayne. Please, if you’re going to take the time to attempt to sound intelligible on a forum, which really is a lost cause anyway, don’t contradict yourself.
She didn’t contradict herself; she said that her earlier statements should be applied more generally to the Dirty South movement in rap — not Weezy in particular, but also not ruling him out. She may even mean more than just Dirty South; though she only named DS rappers, that may just be a reflection of the fact that that’s what’s in vogue right now.
rjgerhardt, How do you feel about Nas, Jay Z, Eminem, Snoop, etc?
What about Talib Kweli, Common, J-Dilla, Mos Def, the Roots?
N.E.R.D.? Wu Tang Clan? Etc? Is it specifically the newer Dirty South movement you hate? Or is it rap on the hole?
rjgerhardt, did some young buck steal your Metamucil?
I’m 22. I have no need for fiber supplements. I just don’t like what young people are coming to today. And being a young person, I see far too much of it.
Not much you can do about it though.
I do see where you are coming from though. I do sound like an old woman sometimes.
I’m 23, and I feel the same way. Let’s go get our canes and bifocals, and tell those punk kids to turn their music down and get off our lawns, gol’durnit!
no kidding…
My husband says I should have been born in the 40′s… I think he may be right!
I see London, I see France, I see someone’s underpants!!!!!
It says Bape, but I believe it purposely is meant to look like Rape. So, when people say, “How can your belt buckle say rape?” You can say, “It doesn’t say rape, it says Bape.” Plead ignorance, show stupidity.
Just like the FCUK line of clothing? “French Connection”? Not really.
Except FCUK makes its name on the punny misspelling of f-ck. Bape has never once done anything that would put its name on par with rape…i’ve never seen a “I like to bape women” shirt, nor do I expect to.
I just found out that Bape stands for Bathing Ape. It’s a Japanese company. The expression Bathing Ape has something to do with taking a lukewarm bath. That is supposed to mean self indulgence – being able to sit in the bath all day and do nothing.
If I looked like this dude, I wouldn’t wear something that meant “Bathing Ape”.
Although, he does look like he needs to bathe.
Bathing Ape…all I’m thinking is WOW that’s kind of strange, even for a guy like that.
*thats
you were right the first time.
Yup, he/she was. (It always makes me smile when posters make a correction to a word’s spelling/usage incorrectly.) oh wait, words?
oh, heck! nevermind…..
“Bathing Ape?” THAT’S RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great googly moogly. I weep for the future.
Apparently, him and Kanye West is the future…so bask in his awesomeness and feel the jealousy run through your veins…lol just kidding.
are* the future.
See what I did there?
Nothing says alpha male like a belt to match one’s boxers and a pink camo hoody and corn-rowed hair.
The kind of guy to take home to Mom.
Does that buckle say “RAPE” or “BAPE”?
Bape.
See the B on his zipup, too? Same company.
I don’t care that his belt supposedly says “BAPE”, it might as well say “RAPE”. Just looking at him makes me feel like I’ve been violated and I don’t like it. Is he wearing Care Bear boxers or something?
I think my niece has the same hoodie as well.
He’s wearing Bape boxers.
And if your niece has that hoodie, better get evangelist on her — because that hoodie’s Bape too.
In fact, so is the belt.
This is, I’m sure, a Bape photoshoot. Or a Weezy photoshoot where he’s using Bape to promote himself. Could go either way.
And, by the way, if you don’t like it — don’t look at it.
Not quite the cute little guy I remember…..
1. I like how the belt matches his underpants. Do you suppose that he has a bunch of different detachable belts that he can wear with the BAPE buckle, so that he can always sport a coordinated ensemble look?
2. Is BAPE when you do it to livestock instead of people?
The world may never know…
1.) Probably. That tends to be what you do with belt buckles. Also, everything — from zipup to buckle to belt to boxers — is Bape.
2.) No, Bape is a contraction if “Bathing ape.”
This is what you would call being SERIOUSLY insecure with yourself.
…..Lolz. People are funny
I’m not pitying anybody with a RAPE belt buckle. Unless I’m missing something here.
much comment upon his buckle up there. I believe the consensus is that the buckle says BAPE a line of clothing.
It’s not just consensus — he’s wearing a Bape zipup, and you can see the B quite clearly on his chest.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Bape for clarification.
Why can’t it just be the 80′s again?
Because Aqua-Net killed the ozone layer.
Does his belt buckle say “Rape?”
Yes. Have a go at him.
I knew it! The buckle was a request! He even has his pants ready to be ripped off! I overuse exclamation points!
i think that BAPE is close enough to RAPE ….
hmm except that’s an established word, not a clothing brand that was just created. And even though it was created as a condensed form of “Bathing Ape”, I can’t help but think that part of the appeal is that edgy “does your belt buckle say rape?” affect. Especially with the all caps.
you have to assume people are going to initially think it says Rape. And boo hoo for their ignorance, not everyone cares enough to look up your clothing line. So I guess you just have to be happy with the fact that most people are going to think it says Rape, and say to yourself that it’s their problem.
I mean, Bape’s been around for 16 years. Not nearly as long as Rape, but certainly not a new creation…and you’re welcome to not help but think that, but that doesn’t make it so. Again, Bape is wildly popular, and they always splash their name across everything, evn in ways that aren’t nearly as ambiguous. In real life I think this belt buckle would be far less ambiguous, it just so happens that the angle the camera caught it at for this photo has glare on the lower part of the B.
I would never assume people would think it says Rape — I never thought that, nor has anyone I’ve ever met, even people unfamiliar with Bape. Generally they ask something along the lines of “…..What does Bape mean? And why is that camouflage so damn bright? Doesn’t it seem ineffective in keeping you hidden?”
And, incidentally, it would be their problem. If I was a multimillionaire, and a bunch of people on a website were too uninformed and too easily offended to see anything but Rape on my belt…how am I in any way affected? How is that in any way my problem?
It’s a contraction of “bathing ape,” from a Japanese proverb comparing contented youth to “a bathing ape in lukewarm water.”
The designer is Japanese.
Douche*. Friggin’*.
First, spell correctly. Then pass judgement.
Oh my god. Did you just correct someone’s spelling of “Friggin”?
Yes, please, do use the dictionary spelling of “friggin”.
I’m glad we have these grammar police to save us from informal chat misspellings. It adds so much to the conversation and doesn’t make them look like tools at all.
Precisely how I feel with everyone’s judgement of Wayne’s music and fashion sensibility.
I’m glad we have these fashion police to save…what, precisely?
ok..here goes..
1. He is NOT gay.. We actually *have* good fashion sense.. And more respect too, I believe..
2. I might sound couture-utilitarian, but WTF is the point of having a belt if it can’t hold your bloody pants up? (yep.. most of Haute Couture is stupid anyway)
3. Geez.. Didn’t this weird look go out of style in the 90s?
4. If that’s the expression on his Facebook profile.. I’m not “friending” him! He looks like someone who might run up behind you from a dark alley, kidnap you, put you in his basement and make you play dirty games with his Barbie doll collection..
*shudder*
My Gawd! That’s exactly what I was thinking . . . *shudders twice*
Pink camo hoodie + boxers that look like someone melted Peeps all over them + saggy britches + ambiguously offensive beltbuckle + tattoos + ugly as sin = TOOL.
So you’re now the fashion police? It’s sad how narrow minded people are, so unwilling to accept other peoples choices and cultures. He is actually wearing a highly popular brand of clothing, of which the colourful designs are appealing. Stop being a nazi and let people dress how they like. The Belt buckle says BAPE (Bathing APE) not RAPE, learn to read.
i totally love this picture of him.
Wow, this guy doesn’t look like he stayed in school, drank his milk, or didn’t do drugs. Yeee-ikes.
…does his beltbuckle say RAPE?
Why does he even have a belt if he’s going to wear his pants like that, anyway?
is says BAPE, its a clothing label. did you not learn to read?
i am going to marry the man pictured above….he is yummy!
…this is what you consider a “man”. And you’re actually attracted to this. Wow. You’ve got to be the easiest person alive.
come on leave him alone. most yall hatin cuhz he’s rich and famous and yu ain. he is amazing and spits it like whoa he can rap dont hate
It suddenly becomes clear that everyone reading this site is a middle class white person. I mean, Lil Wayne isn’t my favorite rapper but just because you can’t understand a trend doesn’t mean you have to bash it.
I think everybody understands it.
Everyone understands its kinda dumb.
Well, most people, anyway. And you don’t have to be middle class and white to know that
Yes, anyone who would bash someone looking stupid must be middle class and white. Look at him! Seriously! He looks like he’s part of the Bubblegum Forest Army or a one man gangsta wannabe gay pride parade.
He looks like angry cotton candy.
“Let It Rock” would be such a good song if it didn’t have those shudder-inducing parts with this loser singing…Ick.
Such a positive role model for the kids. Wonder why most of the youths today act like frickin idiots all the time. From the dead eyes to the money tattooed on his stomach, he is utterly repulsive to me.
Please, guide my kids right to the drug dealer!
Oh and be sure to call my daughter a whore some more, I really like that!
Why don’t you guide your kids to the right drug dealer, if you’re so concerned?
Lil’ Wayne has no children. He shouldn’t be responsible for raising anyone else’s. That’s what parents are for.
…what?? Is it just me or does that belt say, “BAPE”?
*urban dictionary’s it*
oohh ok
Mr. T’s hair is afraid to grow. The only reason he has a mohawk is because it’s in his blind spot.
Sorr, I couldn’t resit…
Yes, everyone who criticizes his fashion and music IS probably middle class and white. You can tell by how offended they get and how quickly they want to throw that assumption out the window.
That is the stupidest misstep in logic. With that logic most people who support him are stupid, uneducated and damn near illiterate because lots of them can’t spell and talk like idiots. It’s got nothing to do with race or class. It’s to do with self respect.
If it’s about self-respect, why can’t he do as he pleases? He obviously is comfortable with what he’s doing — why should he have to dress and act the way YOU think is respectable? Manipulating your image in a way other people find acceptable sounds a lot less like self-respect and a lot more like self-loathing.
He’s following a trend. He’s creating a fake persona. It’s the same thing. And if the man in THAT picture truly believes he respects himself, rather than caters blindly to fads, promoting a negative image of his community, then I pity him.
If the trend that he’s “following” — which may actually be one catching up to styles he’s been wearing for some time — what does it matter? If he likes the look and persona, who’s to say he can’t go ahead and pull it off? And again, you seem to confuse the concept of self-respect. As I said, you’re welcome to pity him. But don’t confuse your pity with a lack of self respect on his part, nor with a universal truth that he should be beholden to. A lack of respect from you does not mean a lack of respect from him.
Also, i
You’re being very judgemental, assuming that anybody who doesn’t like him is automatically middle class and white. It may not actually say Rape, but it bloody looks like it, jeez, you can’t blame someone who might be a little concerned about it at first glance can you?
aaaanyway….
does is belt say RAPE!?
No. It says Bape.
See above.
How is it possible this many people are missing this. Has anyone recapped this damn pic saying it says “bape” yet? Because seriously.
Lil wayne is just starting his own trend! why are yall hatein on him just cause he fresh!
“he fresh”
…
Ugh.
Lengthen your vocabulary you statistic. “Hatin” is getting so tired…please fools and ignorant stupid fools like you, get a new word.
Go buy a dictionary.
My thing is this…the belt and boxers were meant to match on purpose? Or the fact that men preferably black men don’t know how to keep their drawls in their jeans so they figured hey…lets make some money off of this and design a belt to match his UNDERWEAR…?
how gay could he get with pink yellow blue boxers on
does his belt buckle say rape?
I was wondering the same thing, and I’m pretty sure it does.
i almost choked while laughing
*pities*
Is it wrong that I want his belt?
Omg.. I love my avatar :L
All these haters need to shut the hell up. he looks friggn sexy as hell. dont trip kus you couldnt look like that in your dreams.
LIL WYAN IS THE BEAST HE CAN OUT RAP ANYONE ANNY DAY
My. What an accomplishment. He can rhyme words.
look its simple hes freakin rich and he can do as he pleases and for real he probably knows that this is just what he has to do to make that much and since he does make that much money he doesnt have to care what you guys think so in all reality you negative comments have no purpose at all lol so now you all should step back stop caring and worry about yourself and then you’ll probably laugh at what all you just waisted your time on, pretty much what i just did cuz most of you will not get this comment or will argue sooo…… PEACE
Lil’ Wayne is rap. There is more to hip-hop than this.
Couldn’t agree more
he looks gay…
Like I said…………
Lil’ Wayne is a joke…to all rappers every where…including rappers worse than him.
HEY! He doesn’t belong to our community!!
*orders a gay mafia hit on …”
That’s cause he is Capt. Obvious…
Yeah, everyone knows that popular things can’t suck….
Indeed. Much as I hate to pull a Godwin, I’m pretty sure Hitler was super-popular in Germany before people found out what his “Final Solution” thing was really all about.
yeah, like The Beatles…
*clap clap clap clap clap*
agreed.
LEE u crazyn lil wayne is the best raper alive
+
no he not
