My homie Pam sent this video to me the other day and all I could do is LMFAO. I’m not a writer, a reporter, or a commentator, but I know the commentator in this video is going about this assesment ALL WRONG, and on so many levels. I really have a lot to say about this vid, but it’s important that you watch the video before reading what I have to say about it. Let me know what you think in the comments.

it’s very weird how these new jacks can sag that low though, i agree on that.

I tried a time or two to let my jeans sag, but eventually they fell to the floor. I guess I’m not hip enough to handle that and I bought ‘em a few sizes too large.
I don’t wear belts, but I don’t let my pants sag either. It’s all a matter of finding an even medium so you can still be cool and not be constricted.
By the way, you’ve been tagged.

The commentary in this video is just so backwards to me. It’s like he’s commentating on some 3rd world indigenous tribe and using ‘1st World’ logic to make sense of it all. The commentator’s name is Bill Cunningham and he’s apparently this huge Fashion Guru, but I think he should stick to high-end fashion stuff. This dude will NEVER understand Black Culture with that approach. Truth be known, I don’t understand Black culture myself, but I would assume going up to one of these dudes and asking them why they’re sagging their pants might be a descent starting point.
D: HaHa…yeah it is quite remarkable how the jeans “Defy Gravity“.
J. Dakar: Yeah I admit mines sag a little bit, but its just more comfortable down there, I gotta leave ‘the boys’ some breathing room down there, so the Steve Urkel fit simply won’t do…HaHaHa.
