REMEMBER THE TIME?

"MJ Gone... our n*gga dead."- Kanye West

I saw this picture and immediately thought of Remember The Time.

Funny how times change, yet stay the same. How images from 20 years ago resemble the things we see today.

But has Kanye West taken it too far? Is there a limit to where artist can go when expressing themselves? I'm not going to run out and buy a kilt and act like I'm steezing, but is this a little too much?

  1. I was at this concert. As much as I would like to believe that Kanye's skirt and leggings set was an homage to the late great Michael Jackson, I sincerely believe that Kanye just wanted to wear a skirt and some leggings. Do you remember that episode of the Boondocks when Gangstalicious started a clothing line that featured skorts and ass-less shirts? Yeah...Life is starting to imitate art.

  2. That's where I was getting at Stacey. Like, its all good if MJ did it because it was MJ, But Diddy did the same thing a while back, Andre 3000 has always dressed in whatever (International Players Anthem video), and I just wonder if they see themselves as style icons, or if they are just as psychotic as we pressume?
