Transcript
Being in black is so crazy, cuz I remember when I was young, they did a smear campaign on sagging. They used to do billboards, commercials, info- informate- what are informercials? Stuff like that, so people wouldn't sag their pants. You used to get suspended for sagging your pants at my school, bro. And now that white people have gotten a hold of it, and they put it on this app, they call it fashion sagging. And now it's all of a sudden acceptable. I'm telling you, black people are the blueprint, bro. So, and then they want to step further and categorize it into fashion sag and and hood sagging. And remember they used to say, oh, what's sagging backwards and stuff like that? People be in prison sagging. You know what that means? Bro, where where did all that go? Now, now that y'all got a hold of it, it it's acceptable. Like y'all see, y'all like you have to be peeping this stuff.
