Question of the Day: Swagger Status

October 7th, 2008


Swag; Who has it and who DOESN’T!*Disclaimer*

B.Fleezy aka Breezy aka I Got Opinions About Opinions is BAAAAAACCCK!

This past summer I promised myself that I would never ever (ever, ever) use the word “swagger” again. Like so many other terms in black vernacular, it seemed swagger had literally took on a life of its own. I was fed up. People were no longer being judged on the content of their character, but instead on how much swag they had.

It all reminded me of the final scene in Juice when Omar Epps’ character is told “you got the juice now.” Swagger is “the juice” version 2008 and everyone ( and they momma) thinks they have it. Now I admit, I have used the “s” word once or twice. Upon seeing a guy that by all standards is not attractive, I have said things such as “ yeah his eye is kind of lazy, but he has swag.” So when I made the resolution to retire the term, it was in many ways, the first step to recovery.

I admitted I had a problem, and I vowed to fix it. And then something happened. The track Swagger Like Us happened. T.I., Kanye, Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne happened. Sampling a line from M.I.A’s Paper Planes, this hip-hop quartet makes a seemingly undeniable claim in one of the hottest songs this fall- no one has swagger like them. Of course Jim Jones would beg to differ, but I’m really more interested in what you think.

Who, in the music industry, has the most swagger? I know.. I know.. by asking this question I am perpetuating usage of the word, but hey- if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Swag on playa… swag on.

Sincerely

B “The word has now been laid to rest” Fleezy

I can agree with just about every person that has been stated so far to some degree. But the question was most in the music industry, so don’t limit yourself to just hip hop. When its comes to who has the most it is easy. Its a tiny little man from the South Side of Minneapolis. For those of you who don’t know who I’m talking about I’ll give you a few hints. He once changed his name to a symbol, I repeat a symbol. It has also been said that you don’t want to get caught looking into his eyes. And believe me you don’t!! I must admit, I almost became victim to it. Long story, but It was CRAZY!!! Well if you don’t know yet you may need to broaden your musical library. The KING of SWAG is the Purple Man known as PRINCE…The only man I know of that can wear high heal boots, tight bottoms, and Blouses and pull the baddest women on the planet.
