Lord Jamar Speaks on Trinidad James' "Mini Skirt"

[@LiquidDIO]

Since when is cross-dressing considered NOT homo?

[@eRiiCiNo]

How the FUCK did Boondocks nail this prediction ?!!?!

[@eRiiCiNo]

It's a trip. Everything they said has been spot on. Niggaz are wearing skirts, painting their finger nails ( Wiz ). I need to start watching that show again ! I'm just waiting for the gay moment in hip hop and if that happens boondocks deserve a nomination lol .

[@laquieshabailey]

if you wanna learn more... go check out professor griff and alex jones they speak alot of truth

[@eRiiCiNo]

Wow thanks i'll check that out .

[@laquieshabailey]

ok

[@laquieshabailey]

anytime it was nice talking to you

[@ivorysteele]

Lord Jamar is one of the early pioneers in this billion dollar industry. His opinions does matter and do other rappers. We should never dismiss veteran rappers as if they don't matter. They built this industry.

[@PBLCDMND]

No.

[@earldouglas1657]

Ya

[@o0DJANIMATE0o]

I wish the the homie Lord Jafar would fade into relevance cause he what we need in hiphop....word

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

as much as it sounds "politically incorrect" he make compellingly valid points and his logic chain makes total sense. and based on the amount of likes versus dislikes most people agree with him. unfortunately we are in a day and age when making sense is seen as "wrong" or "politically incorrect". ".....beware of those who call good things bad and bad things good."

[@GVonzo]

What is happening to the hip hop culture. When i have kids (hopefully) all they gon listen to is rap from 2008 on down to 1989. I rather them listen to the old shit than todays music. Too much suspicion going on in todays industry

[@sharp2257]

everybody wanna be all politically correct an when someone says some real shit people get mad or when you state your opinion or don't agree

[@Logic7]

The interviewer asked him a question, an he answered it

[@SystemSyko]

LMFAO 5:30 - The end. Shit had me dying.

[@jwclau1]

JAMAR SPEAKS TRUTH.

[@terrydaise5291]

Keep talking

[@Vlm293]

people dont like him cause he keepin it real i have NOTHING against gays even if there are gay rappers i wouldnt care but i damn sure dont wanna see MEN runnin around in skirts or feminine clothing saying that this is hip hop hell na

[@MrMrmikec2009]

thats a long dip dye tshirt and a pair of jeans people are retarded

[@snorlaxlove]

PREACH JAMAR!

[@kiannaluv21]

Dress code? OR just what the majority is accustomed to. Dress code = rules and if there were rules then hip hop wouldn't change as much as it has over the years. Dress, flow, explicit lyrics, etc. If you hate people based on their sexuality that's your personal -obsession- problem. Pretty funny how upset people get over this. *There's nothing you can do about it* lol

[@jackiedavila3867]

Your one of the people he talking about, go to rock n roll dude!!

[@RussellMills1877]

I will always love Lord Jamar interviews because he expresses his opinions on stuff that he does like and stuff he doesn't like and he makes valid points most of the time. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

[@catking3750]

This is a REAL ASS NIGGA

[@goodmood3]

This guy should have his own online talk show or something. Its really entertaining watching him speak his mind. I might not agree with everything he says but it sure is interesting to see his speak his viewpoint on things.

[@thisgame2]

this generation is so destroyed they have no center so they cant even comprehend that inbalance

[@DagogetaTv]

Never thought id see the day men defending men wearing skirts\dresses. Wow how times have changed

[@dabigshow78]

Give thanks for man like LORD JAMAR, speak the truth King.

[@AnthonyBrianLogan]

for real i think lord jamar is gay himself.

[@MissSwaggaLovesYou]

LMAO LOL this dude is HILARIOUS, I like him!

[@KC97220]

Look at the way Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five dressed. Tell me they weren't hip hop. Hip hop is an ever changing culture my man.

[@jasonrankine4836]

everyone got sumtin negative to say about lord jamar.. this nigga Trinidad James was wearing a SKIRT!! Does no one see the problem with this ??

[@ReysBoomBoomRoom11]

Im a fair minded individual who really doesn't care what anyone does usually, but that Dress Code analogy was so spot on. I guess I never considered hip-hop attire in the context of an/a uniform. In that context, its hard to argue against what he's saying.

[@ai5ha1]

Men wearing skirts in hip hop is a disgrace , leave it to the women of rap.

[@rottendisplay]

why is this dude even being interviewed in 2014

[@RobertoTheOriginalManFromTheA]

Many of today rappers are just characters not to taken serious.

[@leojones542]

Why is Lord Jamar so on point with his comparisons. The day you can walk in the NYSE with a fucking dress on (as a man no shade to my women investors out there) and command the same respect as a man with a suit, I tip my hat to you.

[@PositiveNoise]

Embellishments!

[@anthonygrace323]

DAMMNN! He mentioned kanyes dead mother! That's crossing the line and I love it. I'm a little young for jamars music but I'm definitely checking it out and I like his opinions

[@pskillzful]

Lord Jamar has been my dude since Brand Nubians.

[@yawejg]

"If your mother was alive she'd slap the shit outta you." LMFAO!!

[@brktoes]

i agree with him 100% i have a 3 yr old son, he will never ever wear shirts, dresses etc... and if he see a man or boy wearinf things that girls and women wear he will be totally confused! i will exp,ain to him that there are people uin this world who are confused not you son....peace

[@macktasticification]

preach!

[@DarthAnakin176]

I don't see how he is, His points are 100% correct.

[@cwallace318]

Those are definitely leggings. Lol!!!

[@mindboggle5220]

Much respect to Lord Jamar for being a real representation for REAL HIP HOP CULTURE

[@87shandab]

Are all races wearing dresses or just black dudes

[@MsChocolateTHunda]

***** yup and all that kush n hennessy brought him to that point.

[@GmoneyGcode]

There's ppl in every race that's dressing in tight clothes & wearing girlie feminine shit a lot them are being followers. If your into high fashion or just fashion period as a man cool wear what ever you want except skirts & tights & tight ass clothes looking like they're about to pop things are to crazy especially with dudes wearing heels ectect more to say but......smh

[@cavalierthompson9743]

all I gots ta say is this ANYONE HERE EVER WATCH THA BOONDOCKS???? check season 2, episode 13 story Gangstalicious, then tell me Lord Jamar was wrong bout what he said!!!

[@cavanee91]

Jamar has all the right in the world to be mad at the hip hop culture of today.

[@MrsTee80]

I get what he's saying I grew up around hip hop. But things have changed you can't be all angry about to have a heart attack about what the next man is doing. As long as your kids dress the way you want them to dress. Keep it moving. That was a low blow bringing his Mother into it.

[@JamarHerrod]

Lord Jamar's rants sound salty because he not on top anymore. We don't live in the world of the 90s...we don't live in this strict world where men follow a fashion code. I will admit its bizarre what he is wearing but again different times speak for different sets of values and clothing! To simply define men to a fucking conforming dress code only speaks to what Lord Jamar can attest to...not what current hip-hop artists are trending! Lord Jamar sounds real whiny in this rant. Shut up and do something to move hip-hop! Yeah, where are your mentees sir? I just don't like the homophobic comments about how a current artists is dressed! Get over it!

[@bokay3900]

You speakin the truth bruh....back during the early days of hiphop people used to wear skin tight pants.

[@bokay3900]

Sinseer MEN used to wear skintight pants. Look up a book called Back In the Days about early hiphop. Men used to wear skintight pants and it wasn't considered gay or feminine.

[@psychedelicfright85]

There's values these days? Fooled me. It's all for social media really.

[@FlawdaBoy4]

i can listen to this dude all day....even when i dont agree with him which is rare

[@chris45627]

I Hope Lord Jamar is on the next season of the Boondocks smacking rappers and giving them knowledge of self

[@Frank7G]

only thing that came to my mind is The Boondocks episode Riley wearing mini skirt and a handbag. LOL

[@sorenk2303]

"Come build wit me" lol more Magical talk.

[@wileathalbeegle]

He is one of few that can speak this way and regulate hip hop Do"s and don'ts.. Back when hip hop was birthed in bx "The Gods Were There" Peace Nd Love#2up

[@parkay301]

Lord Jamar is old school. He is hip hop all day. He is NYC all day. His opinion is his opinion. A lot of folks that came up in rap during his day and in NYC agree with him. There's definitely a generational disconnect in hip hop. In another 20 years who knows what the trends will be? We may See Lil Wayne complaining about the current times in music on Vlad tv. The art form is changing with each passing day. The older generation lays claim to hip hop because they were in it from its inception and want to preserve the art in the way that it was when they were coming up. Unforunately, for things to be succsessful on the scale that hip hop has blown up, things must/will evolve.

[@nicholasgibson7950]

evolve into what… a bunch of he/she's?

[@veronicajade20]

Nicholas Gibson What's wrong with "he/she's"? Or rather, people more RESPECTFULLY known as feminine men? This is what I don't understand about men who are so threatened by gay men, feminine men, or feminine gay men: if you're secure in your manhood and masculinity, why should what another man is doing bother you? I'm a woman who is secure in my womanhood and femininity and feminine men are not a THREAT to me. Why can't you men get the fuck over it? Seriously.

[@parkay301]

Nicholas Gibson I'm not sure i understand what you're talking about man.

[@parkay301]

veronicajade20 Well it makes people feel more superior to put other people down. Especially if they're going up against someone that they percieve as weak or nonconfrontational. Just like when you see dudes rolling in a group, they get extra loud, extra belligerent, extra everything. When by themselves, much different story. There's power in numbers and power in preying on the weak. So sad.

[@vashon418]

All I listen to now is old school hiphop or jazz music because these new rappers are some SAUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stillskills3149]

White people love Black men in skirts. Master loved Black people who grinned.

[@djreal]

Oh my god. I died @ "Embellishments."

[@kellymccarroll2282]

"When you hear the word "Dress Code". Lol. I don't always hear words, but when I do there is more than one...unless it's Dress Code of course, because that's only one word. Tell me more about how educated you are about words and their meanings! Fascinating guy, probably makes more than a teacher and why not?!!

[@CaviarZadi]

Its the drinking of water at the end "CLASSIC"

[@maleek7776]

Peace 2 The G7d Lord Jamar for speaking the Truth, I remember seeing Brother Lord Jamar on Fulton street, Downtown Brooklyn when the "In God We Trust" Brand Nubian album dropped, and the Brother was by himself, no security, no bodyguards, and he showed nothing but love and respect when we greeted each other, and that made him a Real Man, Brother, and Artist in my eyes.

[@lneka]

They aint cos they know this subject gets him riled up!

[@OfficialmusicJaycalidad]

this dude is so on point.

[@DarleneLewis]

LORD JAMAR YOU NEED YOUR OWN TV SHOW

[@osamabin-laden6028]

respect to jamar for speaking his mind even tho people dont accept it. we need more people like jamar real talk

[@apollyon1976ZNAGASHINO]

when lord Jamar talks take notes the man's a legend!!!!

[@tariqscientificallah3723]

Thatz one of the realest interviewz I've ever seen...

[@phesterjr]

You're dropping some serious knowledge on here, man. I can't help but respect that.

[@NoName-sp5dp]

That skirt is cute though, it just isn't cute on a "hood" rapper

[@lamontscott1207]

Fully agree with this man. Tired of seeing feminine ass clothing being worn by our brothas. Shit kills me.

[@Mrtrixta245]

Lord Jamar is a pioneer in this hip hop game. Brand Nubian set a dress for us in the 90's slot of twor c

[@ICEGOD2]

I had to look up that episode from the Boondocks again about the skinny jeans my God.

[@quest2k]

ok..... Lord Jamar needs his own show on vladtv

[@eutue]

Lord Jamar, "not a Dapper Dan, son. i stay casual."

[@ICEGOD2]

If I wore a skirt, my pops would break my legs and laugh.

[@NahmOmar]

He's not the one bringing up the subject. Vlad asked the questions. He's just giving answers to the questions.

[@Fireluv500]

This nigga Jamar spoke truth. Those getting upset & emotional over some things he said can carry on, but all I know is that he kept it REAL.

[@shyshotcaller27]

He didn't say anything bad about her. He was telling the truth. Kanye said himself that his mom was always straight up with him.

[@nsk4life3]

That's so fucking true man Lord Jamar. The way your dress is your code. To change people minds about certain things is to use the artist they like to listen to or they like to be like. Nowadays you have duds with dresses duds kissing another duds from the lips. Now all of that is to change your mind to make you believe dressing like woman is ok and to be a gay is ok in hip hop.

[@LebanAdam]

Mr. Lee pls pick up ur phone mate.

[@nsk4life3]

Ok sorry mh brother

[@AntMcQueen558]

I'm somewhere in the middle on this subject. Yes, people should be able to wear what that want, BUT, like he said, there are stigmas that come along with certain styles of clothing. If you feel comfortable enough to wear some wild [expletive] and deal with the criticism that comes with it... more power to you.

[@mattcoffey295]

Trinidad has said in interviews that he became a rapper strictly as a business move NOT for the love of music or anything.. I try and remember that when I see stuff like this lol

[@lneka]

cos they know it get him mad lol

[@az5935]

Damn, he looked straight into the camera and brought Ye's moms into this. Real shit from a fucking LEGEND.

[@kingtapetv]

LOVE THE WAY HE PUT THIS SHIT

[@NecceBoo]

People can wear what ever they want to wear. I don't care how weird it may look. Everyone got their own style.

[@slimarkane5735]

We need Lord Jamar

[@henneygyg1]

The truth is being spoke right here #salute lord jamar...

[@BrezzEasyy]

Lord Jamar is 2 real. So real. Remember what Dave Challeppe said, if I dress like a cop, I cant get mad if people run up to me ask 4 help.

[@sengchanthavong349]

Dave Chappelle! I miss his show :)

[@Schewschewan2000]

preach please! you can feel the passion in his voice! the kid was pissed!

[@thakrew209]

"Let Me Show You Why You Bugg'n Rite Now,Ya Na Mean. If Ya Momma Was Alive She Slap Tha Shit Outta You For This Shit" Lord Jamar Foreal Tho!!

[@SharinganSora95]

it was a kilt that kanye wore. not a skirt.

[@mikesavi]

Self-importance is mans greatest enemy. Self-importance requires we spend most of our time offended by the deeds and misdeeds of other people.

[@daynajay3692]

Whether I agree or not is not the issue. I do appreciate the way he expressed his process of analyisis. Many of of us need to critically analyze why we believe the way we do.

[@Grithop]

I just laughed out loud for real by myself and I forgot what that feels like!!! I'm sharing this lol

[@nomad13ify]

if im stuck in a time warp then so be it but the line crossing when dudes feel its okay.... okay meaning to wear skirts and flowery colors.

[@ohioallenjns]

He makes an awesome point. I agree with his overall idea. America is the land of the free (relative term) but there should be moral boundaries that guide us. People can't just be out here doin' whatever. It's the children who are influenced by hip-hop that he's speaking to, not us adults who were influenced by a conscious brand of hip-hop and have grown into people who can decipher what's right and not right. Big up Jamar. Somebody need to say something.

[@Remingt0nn]

Lord Jamar always bring you that real shit! weather you like it or not. I love it when Vlad has him on!

[@RnBGarvey]

he doesnt have to do anything to make "you" take him serious. in fact im confident you value your opinion more than he does.

[@MontesGraphics]

The area as far as codes is called: SEMIOTICS specifically by Arthur Berger

[@gem4715]

EVERYTHING AFTER THE WORD EMBELLISHMENT......HAD ME ROLLIN...LMAO....THIS DUDE IS MAD FUNNY.DAMN!

[@Young_Lion]

Lord Jamar tells the Truth, period nobody should question it.

[@blakk000]

TALK THAT SHIT LORD JAMAR!!! THATS THAT SHIT I LOVE TO HEAR!

[@erfbgu]

And to add to your point from a different angle - I think that is why the game, artists and fanbases are aimless today because it seems that many of them don't educate themselves in this craft. They don't allow the pioneers to influence them. Conversely look at an artist like Janelle Monae she epitomizes an artist that has studied the greats and is influenced by the greats. Today everybody mimics who is hot NOW.

[@III15CRiMEY]

LORD JAMAR MADE ME GIVE THIS VID A #THUMBS UP#

[@SoupCaned]

Boondocks was ahead of it's time, with Riley wearing skirts and bras because thats what rappers were doing. Go on top is right.

[@dsdjkk]

Should of stuck with the Grand Master Flash "the Message" dress code.

[@dorianbeats]

kanye mom was really heavy into the church.she's done alot for her community as well.honestly i do believe if kanye mom was alive he wouldn't have pulled that skirt ish.

[@Volumesofdoom]

They asked him a question about it.
