It's official...I have become the old dude on the block. My official rant on pants "sagging"


Morning family....

I have to get this isht off my chest...for real. I know, I know. I am always complaining about something. But I have to take this to the next level. Today's rant is about "sagging."

As I got off the A train, I saw a grown a*s man, who had to be at least 40 years old, with his pants sagging off his as*. What made this even more appalling is that the man was wearing "skinny jeans."

Look....I am like you. I am not trying to wear any pants that crushes my gonads. Mr. Johnson needs room to breath. BUT....this pants literally hanging off the as* thing has got to stop! It's the equivalent of a extremely, sloppily endowed woman wearing a revealing top. No one wants to see all that in the public!!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR AS*! POINT BLANK! And on a side note, some of you "saggers" need to start wiping your a**es if you are gonna expose your drawers.... (NOTE: For you kcufing clowns who are saying, "Why are you looking at brothers a**es," you know what you can do for me, a**hole)

For those of you who are completely clueless about "sagging." Allow me to give you a description. Sagging is commonly attributed in the media to have originated in the prohibition of belts for prisoners as belts could be used to commit suicide by hanging oneself, to strangle others, or to use as a weapon in fights. In addition, if a prisoner tried to make a run for it, the sagging pants would be a detriment to them and a deterrent. Loose fitting pants would get caught in the fence's razor wire and make the escaping prisoner an easy target for the prison guards' rifles. In the early 1990s, hip-hop artists popularized the style. Unfortunately, what started off as loose fitting jeans slightly below the waist, has now graduated to thousands of young men walking around with their drawers showing.

The thing that kills me about sagging is that I always see these young men walking around pulling up their pants every 10 feet. LOL! I mean, sh*t...you have a belt...use it!

I am making an official rule right now...there 's nothing that we can do stop young people from sagging, but if you are in your 30s and you are still sagging, you really need to check yourself. There are plenty of hip hop fashions that can keep you in style without making an "a*s"(pun intended) out of yourself. Better yet, let me put this on layman terms for some of you knuckleheads. Let's say you are sagging (most young people sag extremely low). Say a rabid pit bull was let loose and you had to jet in a hurry...Guess who will be bitten first? The fool trying to pull up his pants and run at the same time. Pants that fit have a purpose beyond fashion!!!!!

I am not hating, nor am I a saint who has never slightly sagged before. But I do realize that at a certain age, you have to stop doing isht and become a responsible adult. To us Gen Xers, let the millenials have their fashions. We need need to start setting examples. Pants hanging off your as* is not cool at all.
