Dana Dane 4 Ever

Image via Wikipedia

There was a time, when Rap and Hip-Hop was enjoyable to me. That was before it became filled with the profanity and violence that exist in the genre today. We’re talking back when DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince were cranking out tunes about how your parents just don’t understand.

Ok, granted his tunage was mainly aimed for the younger people, but at least the lyrics were clean and enjoyable. That’s more than I can say about music from any genre that kids listen to today.

God, I never thought I would think something like that. It’s proof right there, that I am in fact getting old.

Anyway, I got to thinking about hip-hop from my past, and remembered an artist who went by the name Dana Dane. He performed a few popular songs at the time, however the two that stick out in my mind the most, is Nightmares of the night, and Cinderfella.

So, since I was thinking about him, I got to wondering just what he was up to now, and I decided to Google him. The first site that popped up was of course his site, danadane.com of course. So, I clicked to head on over to his site, and was treated to hm actually singing out his URL.

This got me wondering, How cool would it be to have my domain URL sung?! Seriously, I wonder how much Dana Dane would charge to sing “Shaide blog dot com”. That would kick ass! That right there, is a brilliant business idea!

Fashion in this day and age is…well, quite weird to be honest. I’m not talking about high fashion, from top of the line designers from france and other countries(Those have always just plain wierd). The fashion I am referring to is Hip-Hop fashion, if it could actually be called “Fashion”.

Things like backwards AND upside down sunvisors(Which kinda defeats the purpose doesn’t it?), saggy britches or even BACKWARD britches…Pull your pants up and turn em around I say! I swear, it looks like these people can’t even dress themselves..and yet people dress like this and aren’t even embarassed!

One of the worst offenders I can think of is a rapper named Lil Wayne. Have a look for yourself!

What the hell?!? This guy not only has the sagging britches going on, but also has 2 layers of boxers, so that 1 layer can sag as well! the most disturbing part of this picture though is his tank top. He has his HEAD stuck through his arm hole..the scary part is i think he’s sober.

I mean, sure! I used to dress like that when I was younger….but I was Three, and then my mom would laugh, pat me on the head for being all cute and trying to dress myself, then she would dress me properly. This poor guy never had that luxury. So sad! So sad!
