man what
 
So wearing girly clothes would be cool if they acted tough?


Dre 3000 never acted tough so your point is bogus. He just didn't act super effeminate and sus like Young thug. Yall always gotta take things to extremes.

No, a thug in a dress is not "cool" imo for the record

And for the record I honestly don't give a **** what people do, doesn't affect my life. But Young thug level sus woulda been out of place back then. The fact that he drops a record wearing a straight up dress on the front and talks about smoking penis and nobody cares one way or another shows people are more accepting now

Personally this is dumb as hell. Using one's clothes to relate to sexuality in any way is ridiculous but in any event, Hip-Hop's obsession with overt and excessive machoism in the name of pride is and has been self destructing, dangerous, and the "Feminizing" of Hip-Hop isn't a 100% bad thing to me. Could use a little of it in my opinion.

So this is cool because it wasn't on one of Busta's covers?

How do you know Pac wouldn't have eventually wanted to be on some Pharoah **** and wore something similar?

Pretty much

Leave it to them though. Young Thug was sent here to emasculate the black man so we can no longer procreate and be erased off the Earth.

Like someone said in different cultures and countries, what we view as 'feminine clothing' represents something way different to them. People are so brainwash and trapped by whatever society they were raised in, and don't even realize how ridiculous how some of these beliefs and opinions formed around them sound.

This argument is basically done, I think everybody said what they had to say. But just for the record, yall keep putting up this same outfit why? There's grown African men that wear traditional dashiki suits that look very similar to what he's wearing. Also dudes wear kimonos and tunics in Japan/Asia that look similar as well. I see what yall are saying as far as Dre3000 but this is not an example of flamboyant, it's just culturally different, he probably went overseas and came back and decided to do his own version
 
How did this go from Tyler the Creator to "my era was less or just as fruity as yours" part 100? 

Funny thing you silly *** ****** really believe we're all apart of different "generations". A generation is typically defined as 20 years. There's the millennial generation and then Generation Y which is post 1997. 

The vast majority of us fit in the Millennials box.

I missed most of the convo, but how many times did bubble bath and gold chastity belt 2Pac get posted?

A generation is defined as 20 years on the surface level. The millennial generation is supposedly people born from '75 to '94, but I'm pretty sure there's differences in people growing up in '75, to '82, to 90. That's why Kanye's "we are the millennials" comment was funny to me, with him being 39 at the time addressing a lot of people anywhere from 20-25 that don't relate to him.

There's an hour long video on YouTube around the Death Row offices and they actually show that photo shoot. The Death Row publicist, Poppa G told Pac what they were doing and Pac was against it. Then Poppa G told him that this photographer had taken photos of all these legends. Then you see Pac and the Outlawz in the trailer looking threw the portfolio listening to All Eyez On Me (before the album dropped) and they're like oh this is tight, that is tight. Then it cuts to Pac in the tub with the gold and you see the guy taking mad pics.

^Ironic, I was just watching that Pappa G segment you're referring to. It was for BET if i'm not mistaken.
 
So he was convinced by the gay dude to take the suspect pics.....and did it....lol.....well that explains alot

Dude literally just dropped an album about having unprotected sex with multiple women :lol

Too many dudes jumping the gun, at least let Tyler make a statement.

I think it's obvious he's been making statements. Somehow they get interpreted as "trolling".

It's not obvious if he's seen as a natural joker/pranker. That's why it caught a lot of people off-guard. None of his statements or lyrics were ever taken literally and if you did take it literally, he would sound like a psycho.

As for AK's and Budden's debate, I applaud Budden for his views on the matter, AK and Nedeska is right when mentioning that the rap community is still generally homophobic despite what rappers are dressing like these days. I will go even further and say most Americans still want nothing to do with gay people. They may be cool with people being gay, but a lot of people will still never want to even socialize with gay people. When you couple that fact with Rap being overly masculine as a whole, you will not have too many fans as a gay rapper unless you branch out to pop or R&B.

Poppa G was the best in the business. Clearly this photoshoot was for the women, Pac was a sex symbol. I remember being shocked how many broads were at his House of Blues show.

Funny watching him check out the album cover, talking about it being blurry. Would be cool to see more footage of him.
