Hip Hop Grows Up
I come from the era of Run DMC, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., etc., so I’ve become accustomed to seeing rap and hip hop artists in big, baggy clothing, wearing bandanas and the like.  However, recently I’m seeing this shift in the hip hop/urban “image”.  Most noteworthy for me is Jay-Z’s ultra chic style with his high-style business suits and button-up collar shirts.  Jay-Z in Suit.jpg

The Miami Herald published an article that addresses this apparent “trend” in hip hop fashion.  Supposedly hip hop is seeing more preppy clothing these days.   I see more of the “old school” artists adopting a more grown-up look, although the youngsters are still sporting their own casual version of urban wear.

Hello Maria Palma

Chance: I would like to thank you very much for linking my essay on the origins of baggy clothes in Hip hop and gang culture. I am very grateful it really means alot too me when some-one feels that my writings are of some importance to the point that they would use me as a link reference. I write about a variety of topics and subjects versitiliy is good for a writer, I try never to limit myself to one style of writing. This is a good article you wrote about also, yes, Hip hop fashion is changing and it is good that you took notice of it this proves that change is constant.

You take care Maria Palma and thank you again.
