No lie had to Google MC Lord Jamar…and if he thinks wearing a kilt is too feminine I advise him to go and watch Mel Gibson’s Braveheart and see if there’s anything too feminine about those men. Yeah they are wearing kilts.
I agree with @ Natasha..really Ye of all the things you wear this is what you are up in arms about..SMH. Are you getting soft in your old age?…LOL

Who cares if Kanye wore it, at the end of the day it is his style. Some rappers believe it is not hip hop, when truly it isn’t. Music has changed anyway.. so… I can’t believe they still do that BS in the fashion industry… such a dirty ass business I would never want to be apart of…

Kanye really needs to stop this. He wore it so he should own up to it. Will teach him a lesson the next time. I do hope Getty does not remove it bahahaha. Naomi Campbell has a strong point wish I agree with but at the same time she should probably try paving the way for young and upcoming models like starting her own agency.

whatevez! at least Cynthia Bailey a top ‘Essence Magazine’ model can create her own model talent agency that can create jobs for black models…instead of ‘Miz Tryin’ to Stay Relevent’ talks about how she was ‘T-H-E’ top black model (who could get ‘Tyra’ kicked off a shoot!) who had to C-L-A-W her way up (as long as no other black b*tch was coming up behind her).

i’ve been wanting to say this fo’EVA…ho sit down in your permanent place as ‘the OTHER WOMAN’…’cause your BEY has made it plain. if he likes it he puts a ring on it (makes it legal..,like ‘The Donald’)

such a loser…i swear! :-(

I agree with Naomi Campbell. it’s so disheartening that you don’t see women of color being represented on the runways,fashion magazines,commercials etc ….I can go on and on . As a culture our range of color and diversity of beauty is not being represented in the media outlets period . The range of beauty in other cultures is appreciated & looked at is the standard of beauty to the point that I feel, it’s creating culture were women and young girls think that there skin color and hair texture is not considered beautiful ,because there not seeing it represented as beauty . It is up to a parent to teach their children otherwise ,but if your constantly being bombarded with white,light,straight hair images ,when you look at everything from the Disney channel to the runways it subconsciously sends a message. As a person who loves diversity and can see beauty in all aspects.I personally would like to see my fellow sistas of color being featured & recognized a great, great deal more .it truly bothers me ,like we need affirmative action on the runways and media or something ? Enough is enough .

Wow. now I know who Lord Jamar is.

Personally, I think both Emcees could do well to lock it up.
