In case you may not have known, June is Black Music Month and people, we’re in a musical crisis: Where are today’s legends? Though many of us grew up on our parents’ music (Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Earth Wind & Fire, etc…) and some of us in the 80s were blessed with Michael, Whitney, New Edition and Prince, the 90s and beyond have presented a challenge.  I’ve come up with a list; you may or may not agree, but we need to talk about this!

The rapper, now buffer and bigger than in the past thanks to some jail time weight-lifting, somehow found a way to fit into the tightest leopard “pants” ever. We’ll assume they were able to keep from cutting off the circulation in his thighs thanks to the fact that his behind was out. The bottoms were so talked about they became a trending topic on Twitter, and got folks investigating–where did he get them from? After some research, the folks over at Complex reported that Wayne’s bottoms were actually women’s JEGGINGS. Yes, jeggings–aka, the skin tight bottoms used when skinny jeans are just not enough. The brand Tripp NYC confirmed on their Facebook page that his pants were designed by them, and that yes, you could find them in the women’s section through Karmaloop for only $44. As amusing as this information is in some ways, I’m not really surprised. Many big name male celebrities have been rocking women’s clothes and shoes for a minute now, as well as everyday heterosexual men walking the streets today. So it had me thinking…is it weird for a man to occasionally shop in the women’s section to you?
