Wow just wow

Yes….you see Nas cares

btw his album is HAWWTTT!!!!…. y’all go pick up a copy

Wow is all I can come up with…WOW

93 days in jail for pants sagging is a bit much

my boyfriend put me on Fox News tactics a while ago…I don’t support that news channel at all.

That sagging ish is WACK, i’m glad they are cracking down on it, because i’m tired of seeing grown man asses all day long.

Marion oh Marion

wow its gonna be a crime to sag your pants…damn these people aint playing

********Jones did the crime pay the time

******go Nas. I wrote an email after the Baby Mama comment. It is disgusting that
*******FOX continues to disgrace Obama (next US President)

*******Send those boys to a clothing store for some belts. I agree with the no saggy
******rules. It is disgusting to be looking at a$$ crack.

wow…they actually made a chart for this??? i don’t like it, but they’re wasting city time and money on this.

*******I forgot that Marion was in jail

********Go Nas

…….Go head Nas! Make a Difference. Shame on Fox News.

…….Virginia Beach was one of the 1st cities to crack down on sagging….you get
…….fined for that along with cursing.

……..Marion, you weren’t crying then…so don’t cry now.

It just makes you realize how sagging is so ignorant with that little diagram thing they have up there. Whats the point of sagging?? Like not pulling your pants up all the way says “Im the definition of cool” or something…

Kudos to Nas for using his celbrity for a good cause. Fox news, no words for them. I won’t let their negative energy turn my positivity sour. They will get their’s soon. Karma is a mofo

Wow on the sagging pants thing. I personally don’t care for it, but they know they are infringing on people’s personal rights with this one. It will be interesting to see how far people will go with this issue. I’m sure this will get much press and many law suits, while important issues get tossed to the wind. Next…

I really do feel bad for Marion. I wish it hadn’t have had to come to this. I hope that from this issue springs some positivity. God does not put more on us than we can bear.

Great post as always CL.

Out.

We all know what comes with wearing saggin pants and what they represent. And it’s nothing nice. So it’s time someone did something about it. I don’t care about what other races are doing. But us blacks need to play our position. It takes a village remember… Too bad the law had to get involved.

Saggy pants???? Truly is that worth tax payers money. People should be free to wear what they want. IF U DONT LIKE IT DONT LOOK.

MARION ONLY GOT LIKE 2 MORE MONTHS LEFT. JUST RIDE THEM LAST TWO OUT.

Jones’ was sentenced to 6 months in prison. She started serving time on March 7, and wants a “communted sentence” now. It is July , she might as well tough it out and complete her sentence. She has like 2 months left. She has already completed 4 months.

It is disgusting that ALL THE NETWORKS BESIDES FOX THINKS THAT OBAMA IS A “GOD” THAT CAN DO NO WORNG! get the hell out of here with that shit.. I tell you us black people all ways trying to play the race card but yet… we can say all this shit about other people and don’t think its wrong get a life… If Obama wants to run America all sides of him needs to be shown good, bad and ugly and that’s what FOX news is doing… but when they do that OH NO!!! there raciest bah bah bah.

now im no fan and and never have and never will date a man with saggy ass pants but a law tho?…theres a whole bunch of other fashion statements, for lack of better words, that i hate to see when im walking down the damn street…so i hate to say it…but this is a racial issue

Jazz we were thinking the same thing

(GETOUTOFHERE) COULDNT HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only way to strike Fox down is by starving all sponsors and advertisers associated with their programs.
If we focus on their $ source, they’ll pull out, leaving Fox dry and in deep shyt.
Regarding the saggy pants, its a ridiculous trend that only the impressionable “sheeple” follow. Making arrests on the basis of “style” is wrong though. It’s not like these fools who dress that way are exposing bare ass.

YES Nas. I sure did sign one of those petitions too! Fox is sooo disrespectful when it comes to Obama. These reporters MUST reap the consequences for their words!

Detroit stand Up! I was out yesterday (in Detroit) and saw some sagging that would be considered disorderly conduct. It’s rediculous!!!

Thats messed up what happened to Marion Jones. All of these baseball players are on steroids and nothing is being done to them. I wishing her luck!

Its about time something is being done about that sagging pants BS. I tired of looking at males with their asses out.

Im riding with my man Nas, go gett’em boo.

that’s the nas i know and care about. the song & video is truth! i wish him the best. if he comes to l.a. and does a protest outside of fox studios, i’ll be right there with him.

it’s pathetic that when black men can be put in jail for somthing as dumb as that you may not think that saggy pants is good but our freedom is worth you not having an eye sore they nedd to start putting some of these sistas in jail for these wack out hair styles and hoochie outfits

I respect Nas for taking action and demanding change, FOX is media and thus is protected under the Constitution, but when they went after Michelle , that was wrong because she’s not running for President, Obama is. But, everyone knows that FOX is controversial. Nas is correct, but shouldn’t he address the issues in the Black Community, you know the ones that Rappers endorse.

The no sagging pants policy is a good thing. When a person wear sagging pants, it means that they want to be known for something negative and not posititve. When a person respects themselves and their environment they will act and dress as such. And the ACLU needs to stay away from this, they protect any and everybody, no matter what. This is the same group that will protect the rights of child molestors. Also, why would the ACLU care about inner cities anyway, most of them are probably white surburban liberals, who really hav no idea about the dilemnas of the inner cities.

the FOX situation just makes me sick…seriously.and nobody outside of the viewers seem to have a problem with it,not even the people who have the power to deal with it,..

i get so mad when i see dudes still carrying on with the sagging thing…what is the point of it?as much as i hate it 93 days in jail does not seem fair,FINING them sounds better….but maybe it will scare these dummies enough to not want to do it…

Well I Dont Know Whats Up With The Pants Now!!!, But I Do Know That At One Point Boys Got Their A** Kicked Or Badly Teased For Floods Or Flooding, Pants That Came Ankle High Because They Were Poor And Sagging Became A Trend So That Pants Would Reach Gymshoe Level. Nas Shades Are Hot! One Of The Best Shades Ive Seen On A Man.

@16, there’s a difference between a network disliking a candidate and a network being discriminatory, distasteful, evil and vicious towards a candidate…..I mean they said that he SHOULD BE ASSASSINATED!!!!! There’s no help if you think what they’re doing is RIGHT?!?!

[...] and various cities in South Carolina are also jumping on the ‘no saggy pants’ [...]

FREE MARION! Baby girl gets a pass from me.

NAS: Two words - Sagging sales.

SAGGIN JEANS: Oh well, you bring that penitentiary mentality out to the streets and 5.0 is gonna call you on it. Whatever. It’s time grown-ass black men grew up and started dressing like serious adults anyway. To paraphrase what Gabrielle Union’s character said in Daddy’s Little Girls, any man above 25 rocking a du-rag, throwback jersey (unless you’re at a Saturday BBQ), saggin-ass jeans or still thumbing a Playstation EVERYDAY ain’t a good look.

Good for Nas and the other organizations who are trying to petition FOX News…For those who still have not got that Nas cd (your lame if you have not), make sure to listen to ’sly fox’. Its about Fox News! BTW, that police on sagging pants, that is crazy…I don’t care for sagging pants myself but that is just a violation of rights!

————-Good for Flint, Michigan. I’m tired of seeing brothers with their asses
————-exposed. That’s one clothing trend that I wish had faded out years ago, and
————-obviously isn’t going to. I hope they bring this law to New York.

@17,have you even listened or read anything that has been displayed on that bullshit ass station because you cant seriously believe that this is just another situation when “black people are pulling the race card..”how is it not racist that people are saying he should be “lynched” and then keep referring to him as a “terroist…” naw,YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE WITH THAT SHIT….even the people who arent behind Obama can see what is going on….

jail time for saggy pants is a bit much…………but i cant say i’m totally against this regulation….i find the underwear exposure pretty gross myself

***********If I was in New York I would be there too. Those boys shouldn’t be sagging
**********anyway. Why do you want to walk around looking like prisoners..Go NAS

[...] about calling a “lynching party” to deal with Michelle.” Read the whole story here, at concreteloop.com addthis_url = [...]

#25 To justify your sagging pants and fining and jailing is wrong you attack sistas, blk women did not make the law but some of these dumb women will be standing behind self and sista hating negros like you, to defend blk men because of the law. Dont belittle the blk women and say they are the ones who need to be fined because basically when your jailed who will you be calling (mother,sister,aunt,girlfriend,etc.)

On another note fox and its number one Bill O’reilly has always said negative things regarding minorites so why today is the day you decide to do something about. things should have been done awhile ago. I mean come on everyone knows Fox is conservative so it should not be surprising when they bash liberals though they may take it to some extreme

THIS SAGGING THING IS MOTHERFUCKING RIDICULOUS…BECAUSE THEY KNOW ITS A EVOLUTIONALLY LEARNED BUT BLACK CULTURAL ADAPTATION FOR PEOPLE TO SAG THEIR PANTS…ITS GENERATIONAL.

AND I BELIEVE THT SHIT IS WRONG BECAUSE WHITE PPL CAN WALK OUTSIDE WITH WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANT TO HAVE ON AND ITS NO PROBLEM, WHOS OPINION IS THAT IT IS INDECENT….? WHOS TO SAY YOUR CLOTHES HAVE TO FIT THE WAY SOMEONE ELSE WANTS THEM TO FIT?

IF THERE IS NO OVERT SEXUAL REPRESENTATION IN THE TREND THEN LEAVE THESE KIDS ALONE, YES ITS SOMETHING THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT LIKE, BUT HELL THERES ALWAYS GONNA BE A GENERATIONAL DISCREPANCY. OLD PPL GONNA SAY OUR MUSIC AINT SHIT, WE GONNA SAY OLD PPL ARE OLD FASHIONED. THEY SAY OUR FASHION IS RIDICULOUS, WE SAY THEIR STYLE IS DATED. IF ONE IS WALKING ON THE ST WITH HIS ASS OUT, SO THE HELL WHAT…LET HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING - IF HE CANT GET THE DRIFT THAT IT IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE CORPORATE WORLD, THATS ONE THING…BUT IN A COMMUNITY, A CULTURE, HOW MOTHERFUCKING DARE YOU DEFINE WHAT IS “RIGHT”…..BECAUSE OPINION DOES NOT MATTER IN CULTURAL DEVICE!

FUCK AMERICA, YALL DONT KNOW HOW THEY HAVE HELD US BACK SO LONG. MOST PPL WILL JUST SIT BACK AND ALLOW AMERICA TO DICTATE TO THEM THE WAY LIFE SHOULD BE BUT BEFORE YOU ACCEPT THE IDENTITY THEY GAVE YOU RECONNAISSANCE YOUR OWN!

@ number 17 how does an anchor calling Obama’s wife his baby mama reflect his negative side when the are married or “mistakenly” callling him a terrorist have anything to do with portraying all of his characteristics. Now certainly they are entitled to their opinions of the presidential candidates, but I would they would want to present factual information and not resort to public slander. sadistically, this is also their opinions of african americans as well.

————-@25
————-I missed your comment originally but #38 put me onto it. I agree totally. The
————-black and hispanic woman has been allowed to dress the like a prostitute
————-in this society for the last 40 years. They should be locked up as well.

————-After Nas delivers that petition to FOX, he should deliver Kelis to a detox
————-center. I hope he doesn’t hold his breath waiting for FOX to change their
————-practices and beliefs. I notice while watching the “Sly Fox” video that he had
————-that rapper jumpoff, Ms. Info, in the video. You can see that her chink-ass
————-had no attachment with the sentiment that the two brothers were bringing
————-out. This is why I maintain that if black people think that hip-hop will bring
————-all races together, they are sadly mistaken. She could care less and it
————-showed in the video. She’s just captivated by hip-hop and the black man’s
————-penis.

I think they are cracking down because they were sneaking weapons into places in those big pants. What’s a shame is that the parents let this style get so out of control. I mean I literally see guys having to hold their pants up with their hands while walking down the street. That is just stupid.

I don’t think anyone should get locked up and get a record for baggy pants, but, they have to find a way for these young men to stop killing each other and innocent people also. If they are hiding weapons in those big pants then hey they should crack down. But I think if anyone is going to serve jail time it should be the people.

Smh they worried about bs these cops need better things to do…

WOW.. the Chi aint playing.. I kno them dudes was like what? Are u serious? Dont u have crime to fight. Or a drug bust,Dv call, Disorderly conduct.? What? LOL

Bravo to Color of Change. This type of activism is what is needed (Jena 6 marches was a beautiful site to behold). The blaming “the white-man” shit is a joke, boots on the ground is the only way to go. I hope some of this activism looks inward as well. We’ve got a gang murder epidemic in most of our major cities. AIDS is killing our women, we are dropping-out of high school at an alarming rate, we need to help ourselves, and not project it onto othere races.

…..now that obama is in office and they attack Michelle because the only thing they have to pick on Obama about is this whole terrorism thing i.e his name.

AND IF YOU NOTICE EVERYONE WHO AGREES WITH THE LAWS CREATED FOR SAGGING VOICES AN “OPINION” ON WHY ITS NOT A GOOD LOOK….

ONE PERSON SAID, THESE KIDS NEED TO START DRESSING LIKE SERIOUS ADULTS…

WTF? WHO ARE U TO TELL SOMEONE HOW THEY SHOULD DRESS, OR THAT DRESSING LIKE A “SERIOUS ADULT ” IS WHAT WILL GET THEM AHEAD IN WHAT THEY WANT TO DO? NO EVERYONE DOES NOT WANT TO FOLLOW THE CORPORATE WORLD STANDARD. I FEEL AS THOUGH WHEN YOU ARE REPRESENTING A WHOLE FOUNDATION (SUCH AS A COMPANY) THAT IS ONE THING TO RECONSIDER, BECAUSE YOU SIGN TO ADAPT THEIR POLICIES, BUT WALKING ON THE ST IS FREE, AND WHEN IF EVER IS ONE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES THE WAY THEY CHOOSE IF SOMEONE IS DICTATING WHAT THE HELL THEY COULD WEAR?! I AM TOTALLY TOTALLY AGAINST THAT, BECAUSE UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY EXHIBITING A BEHAVIOR THAT CAN POTENTIALLY HARM SOMEONE BACK THE FUCK OFF! IF A GUY HAS HIS PENIS OUT, THAT IS A CLEAR SEXUAL OVERTURE…THAT CAN BE DETRIMENTAL, BUT BECAUSE HE CHOOSES TO SAG IS NOT A SEXUAL OVERTURE….ITS JUST AN “EYE SORE” TO !!SOME!!….

AND WHAT THE GUY WAS SAYING AT #25 WAS RIGHT, (THE EXAMPLE HE USED WAS MUCH ) BUT HE’S SAYING THE GOVERNMENT IS GIVING THEIR OPINION ON WHAT LOOKS GOOD AND WHAT DOES NOT, BASED ON A NON SEXUAL TREND….WHO ARE YOU HURTING TO SAY THAT YOU CAN SAG

Don’t really like sagging pants. But this is ridiculous for a number of reasons!

1. The saggy style is on it’s way out.
2. This amounts to racial profiling (Rockerfeller Laws, etc.)
3. This is a publicity stunt, not a substantive issue.
4. We were saggin’ back in the 90’s. Why now?

Fashion trends come & go. Let the community decide on their own. Let businesses, schools, churches, etc. decide what decorum they want. That will change attitudes. This law is a publicity stunt.

whtite folks always tryna make us look black,…i mean bad,from obama to saggy pants its not a coincidence they know what the f@#k they doing so bigups to people like nas who wont stand for it.marion shut up and do your time you deserve a lot worse do you know how many little girls grew up tryna be you?your ass needs anoda six months just for asking for a dumbass commuted sentence wat d hell is wrong with you?

….I just got done watching the Nas video and I am so sickened w/ this country right
….now. I mean I knew that racism was still alive because I experience it almost daily.
….Nas spit the truth and I wish I could thank him personally.

…The pants sagging thing is BULLSHIT!!! I can not believe they are trying to enforce
….that. How can they limit and control people’s personal styles? There are “goths”
….and “emo” people running around and there are no laws against that. I personally
….think that there are other ways to try and make a city seem “safer.” How about
….cleaning it up!?

chill out with the stupid laws..there are other things in this word to worry about..besides, aint nothing like a phat ass on a man!! hahahahhahahaha

That sagging pants issue is downright offensive… and not in the way you think… wearing your trousers ludicrously low is a personal choice and is how people feel comfortable dressing, if a woman was wearing a low cut top showing her breasts, will they arrest her for that… or if she wears a short skirt where she hardly hides anything on a night out, will she be thrown in jail?!?! didnt think so… that could be considered lewd behaviour if this system wasn’t so STUPID

everybody talking about overcrowding in prisons and they want to put somebody in jail for something like this… the police need to do their job and catch some real criminals, like rapists, murderers, child molesters… the fashion police will catch the rest and put their pics up on the “Slippin” group on Facebook!!! DAMN

>Goin to jail 4 saggin??? thats insane! Its way more important stuff goin on.

that first sagging PIC “warning” is killing me. GTFOH!

Nas, I understand his involvement, what was he naming his album again?…Sometmes he is dumb, sometimes smart. Stay smart Nas!

Marion - no need to read but she deserves time lke the next!

Judah,
who do you think glamourize this style and way we so called Latinas and black women dress….. black men. So save face it will just revert back to you. You must be one of those isrealites.

Nas stepps it up!!! Where is Hip Hop now??? I’m all for a FOX BoyCott!!!!

These Dudes need to stop exposing their “ASS” anyway…SMH

Is it really that hard to pull up ur pants?

NOooo #’s 17 n 20. Yes u should show both the bad and the good sides but their comments were racial if u didnt read. They talking about lenching Mrs. Obama and calling her a “baby mama.” Those comments are totally irrational and u would not (as well should not) here any news channel bad mouthing McCain’s wife or anybody elses wife that way. Okay they Fox aren’t “Pro Obama” but the comments they made were just tooo far.

Fox News is a joke they need to get rid of the channel all together and sagging pants are corny but I do think making it a crime is a bit much and as for Marion Jones she only has like 2 months left she needs to just do her time

I do feel that the sagging pants law is a bit much, pple shuld dress how the fuck they wanna dress, however i would like 2 mention that men who sag their pants look tasteless& classless & would never get a chance.

——-Please make the sagging law universal. I hate to see a man, boy, child with his
——-pants down around his butt/ankles. It is so disgusting. I point’em out and turn up
——-my nose. The 21 y/o said “leaders should instead spend money on making the
——area look nicer”…….FOOL, it starts with the ppl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for Nas, I do not support Fox news.

Personally, i hate the saggin’ pants like past the butt saggin’ pants where you can actually see their draws. They’ll have on their tee shirt, jeans, but the jeans are actually below their butts and u can see their WHOLE draws they have on. I have seen boxers, but one time dude had on some of those like boxer briefs ya’ll men wear and that was just soooooo ridiculous to me. The guy was so young and I know he did not leave the house like that, cuz i would of wacked my son across the head if I caught him wearing his pants like that! My question is this to anyone here in the comment section who wears their pants that way–why? Is below the butt a way u think girls will want you? Or am I way off? I just really would like to know why and why u think that look is appealing?

Good for Nas.
Out of all the crime, open cases, missing children, drugs, and so on that’s all they are worried about is “sagging pants”. Now Don’t get me wrong I don’t like to see a man with his Ass hanging out but it aint that deep for them to make a LAW about and waste TAXPAYERS money by putting them in jail. While this cop is stopping this dude cause his Drawers are showing a couple of blocks down somebody is getting shot or raped. Are they that bored? Don’t they have enough to do? People need to get their priorities straight.

II’m glad to see Nas doing his thing because FOX has always been blatantly racist, the other networks too. Their views are a perception of the black experience as if they know.

It’s unfortunate that the pencil pushers found another way to document and penalize the youth. It’s even more sad and unfortunate that our youth don’t realize that this fad is a suggestion —that you’re ready to be duked in the butt. ewww This trend started in prison with inmates being forced to expose themselves for ready-access. Prayer is needed. (also belts –hehehe)

that is taking away our freedom with the way we dress which isnt fair. n plus those pants wasnt even that bad. thats how i like boys to wear them. when they wear the crotch of their pants LITERALLY at the knees, thats just no cool. they need to pull them over.

Women on this site (some of them anyway) are hypocritical with the sagging pants thing. They won’t comment on guys that have their butts hanging out exposing their “male lingerie” but are quick to say men that wear fitted jeans are somehow gross or feminine. Ladies….please make up your minds, lol. As a man i’ve never understood the craze with sagging pants, especially since youngins don’t halfway wash their asses….but whatever.

It’s nice that Nas wants to expose Fox News for what he sees as an attempt to slander the black race as a whole, but wasn’t he the one who wanted to title his album Ni&&er as an attempt (in my eyes) to stir up controversy for his project until we petitioned his ass? How ironic is that? He needs to let someone else lead this brigade cause he’s not legit enough to bring serious commentary to the issue. Sorry Nasir.

I’m proud of what Nas is doing. It doesn’t even start with Obama they have been doing it for years which is why I don’t support Fox network.

As far as the sagging pants thing goes, it is disgusting that a law must be made to cover up what parents didn’t enforce. It is borderline of going as rights though. I’m sick of nthe saggy jeans especially when you’re surrounded with it everywhere you go. Both black and white boys thinks its cool to do and we can say look the other way but it’s sickening.

As far as Marion Jones go I think she should stick it out although I do think it is unfair that Mcguire, Sosa, and other baseball players have been exposed yet they are still on ballots as possible inductees to the hall of fame.

I feel for M. Jones…I appreciate her honesty though.

Fox is taking the freedom of speech for all it’s worth and then some. I’m glad to see people in the Hip-Hop community standing up for what’s right. Hopefully they can get something done at Fox because it’s just outright racisim. Nobody talks about Cindy McCain, so why is Michelle Obama being targeted. She is trying to raise women, black women at that, and at every turn she is criticized for every little thing she does. She beleives in her husband and supports what he does. More power to them, and they can bump fist all day.

Wow, I guess these various cities are crime free to be so worried about the way people choose to wear their pants…Get the fuck outta here. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

i dont know why but i find the chart to be kinda funny but 93 days in jail is way too much time for saggin i think a week is enough we dont need to be putting too many ppl in jail

as for marion i dont have any sympathy at all for her cuz she knew what she was doing

Just pull the damn pants up kids…welcome to 2008.

Such bullshit and waste of money that needs more to be spent on more useful issues than some boy saggying. Yes sagging is really wack, ugly, and makes a boy looks plain foolish waddeling because he’s trying to keep his pants from falling; but no need to arrest him for it.

How can no sagging (or just changing the way people dress) make a citiy look nicer?? Explain that one, please. If u want to make the city look nicer maybe someone i mean just any fucking body should tell, Joe Kolmes, to use the money thats going towards the arrest to clean the damn city.
Its just another unneccessary task for bored cops to do.

but on the flip side. boys and Escpecialy the Grown ass Men that needs to grow up, do need to put the sagging to rest. Showing boxers is just old as hell.

Yoooo, sagging thing is not fair! My weight fluctuates, so I can’t keep buying new clothes/belts every couple weeks/months. This law is stupid! What are they going to do, administer belts now? This make absolutely no sense!

Blah, i’ve never been a huge fan of the saggy jeans thing other but being fined and arrested for it? I personally think that’s ridiculous. What’s even more ridiculous is that first saggy jeans picture. How the hell will they see that we ppls shirts covering it? Tackle every black man to the ground and pull up his shirt….wth >.>
