not really

@ People naming Bambatta. I see what you're sayin but C'mon now. Don't be THAT guy.

@ people naming Nas. NAS? Wearing Cufi's, marrying jumps and becoming cool with someone who smashed your baby mother is the anti-swag.

Its a fact, and you can't deny it...

Cam popularized "Swag" in Hip-Hop...He's the father of Swag as far as Rap is concerned...

Jigga? No....Check his 94 Steez, rocking a baldie wearing hoodies with shorts....Nay...
Nas? No.....See above for reason...(Hypebeast McStreet Wear pretty much summed it up..)
Kanye? Nay, though he has his own "swag", he def did not invent it...
Pharrell?

....
T.I?

.....
Bambatta?

...

The list goes on...

Yeah Cam had a lot of styles that were

...

We're not talking just about style though are we? We're talking "Swag" and Cam had has it....

[kicks67]

how u gonna claim hiphop is dead and do a photo shoot wearing this

 

[yungmatt]

Nas???? Are yall serious?????

 

[chitown4eva]

Front all you want, but Cam was the epitome of a swag rapper, or at the very least, the modern idea of "swag." Of course his style ain'tpoppin' now, but when he first signed to Rocafella, he had the whole image thing on lock. That's when everybody still either wanted to look like, orwasn't ashamed to dress like they're from the hood.

A lot of ya'll that laugh at baggy clothes got a lot of nerve turning your nose up at it now.

^^^ i know kane and slick rick had their parts true indeed,but i cant speak on what i didnt live thru,i was like 5 when they were out and hulk hogan sneakerswith the velcro were the **#+ to me.......what im talking about is the era where everybody wore black sweatshirts and combat boots and took chains from homedepot and put a padlock around it and wore it around their neck.I know biggie wasnt the first one to do the whole flashy thing but by the time he stepped onthe scene people had beeeeeeeeeeeen stopped dressing like kane and slick,with the mcm daper dan suits and whatnot.People were dressin more like onyx andnaughty by nature ,and people in the videos had on the same thing u can look out your front window and see.Then thats where big came and changed the whole gameup once again,as kane did about 10 yrs prior to him.........feel me?


oh yea,as far as homeboy sayin cam made up terms like you mad and ducktales..yes he did

but if u actually got outside into the real world u would know that people dont actually walk around sayin ducktales and pointin at ppl talkin bout u mad,maybethe nomo thing thats about it but those other 2 terms are irrelevant outside nt

 

[parada45]

Killa Season changed my outlook on life

 

[greasy]

whoevr made this thread must be part of dipset $^%$ riders but cam still my dude........................

 

[infamous199]

Lets not forget Mase. He definetly is up ther ewith the swag lyrically. Need proof? Go listen to Why you over there lookin at me? thats swag at a trillion.

1. Big daddy kane - Swag king
2. Biggie - Common Look at dude. He had crazy swagger

*post kane & rick era*
its hard for me to give dude that type of credit. dude had gear and he did his thing(i guess) but to give big the "he changed the game" title naw icant rock with that. he wasnt the only person who was clean back then

See the problem is alot of you don't know what the ____ "swagger" is swagger isn't clothes, rapping or props
"Swagger" is the attutidude that's makes it all believeable.
So when you say Big Daddy Kane, Kanye, and Nas, Jay-Z etc have "swagger" you're wrong becasue they abandoned
the movement when no one followed..Swagger is inate...and Cam had the swagger since Confessions of Fire...his swagger
is his attitude...

everyone else is gimmicks....Cam'Ron "Swag" never changed.

"One glare and wink everyone wearing pink." I'm sorry but if not getting all America to rock some fruity tooty color has swag in my book.
