Rappers wearing jeans, sneakers and baseball hats is acceptable at any age..It's the cultural norm.. No different than a country singer wearing cowboy boots and a gallon hat...He should never get clowned for that....
The problem with KC is he was 37 bragging about being a grown up....And the examples he used to display his maturity all had to do with him spending money on expensive things and not really being "grown"
The whole "your chick shops at the mall" mentality has nothing to do with being mature and everything to do with being in the top 1% of the tax bracket..
There are brothers that are volunteer fireman or school teachers that mentor young men and do other community work that are married to Black women that still shop at the mall..
Are they not "grown men"?
It was his twisted outlook on what it means to be "grown" in the Black community that deservedly got mocked...
He is still doing it in 2013... "I dont pop Molly I rock Tom Ford"...Like my n1gga.. Are those the only two options?
He just seems to have a great talent at dumbing down the Black experience to the lowest common denominator...
And as a Jay-Z Stan that respects his art and contributions, I feel I can say this with full clarity and credibility..
