First of all, let's get one thing straight. The Hip Hop culture was not founded upon sagging pants. Secondly, sagging pants was a style and still is a style used in prison for two reasons. The tough guys that came through the system without a belt to hold their pants up just kept it that way. The other is tough guys would knock-out another inmate and make him his "bitch". Tough guy would make his bitch sag their pants, put cigarette ashes on his eyebrows to darken them, and red kool-aid on his lips then tell him to sag his pants exposing the top part of his ass; sell his ass for cigarettes, bring the cigarettes to him and go back out and do it again. Pant sagging is a prison thing, not a Hip Hop thing for you ignorant people that believe otherwise.
I for one would never be caught anywhere with my pants hanging off my ass unless I had a darn good reason for it. How can a man say he's a man exposing his ass in public? You look like a damn idiot! You look (no disrespect to gay people) gay, like you want another man to notice your ass! What is being done by a few dummies is affecting the Hip Hop culture because those who are ignorant believe that everyone in the culture agrees with such stupidity. Sure you have the right to dress the way you want to, but you could never convince me that you are 100% a man, walking around with your pants hanging off your ass, you're gay! You want the attention from looking like a nut-case that escaped from prison.
These dummies in Hip Hop that wear their pants like that have the right to do so, but still that doesn't make you anymore Hip Hop than Vanilla Ice baby. Furthermore, why wear a belt? These morons have the audacity to be wearing a belt while their pants was down to their knees. I will never speak politely about this behavior because it disgusts me to the core of my stomach, I hate it, and totally disapprove of any male that calls himself a man, that wears his pants like that. You are not a man, I AM! I wear my clothing the way they are supposed to be worn like a man should, not like someone hoping to get a rear-end reward!
