One of the noticeable things that has dominated Hip Hop Culture in the West has been the sagging shorts that Hip Hoppers wear. That’s a given. But what’s not so apparent is that normally the underwear that shows when their shorts are hanging over the middle of the rear end is Boxer Shorts. That’s where I come in.

I should say that I really don’t understand the need for Hip Hoppers to run around with shorts that sag so far down past their hips. Occasionally I hear stories of those who rob places trying to run away and falling flat on their faces because those shorts slid down their legs and tripped them up.

In my countless observations, I’ve seen plenty of plain-colored boxer shorts. I haven’t run across a lot of fashion and design in that area. Why haven’t boxer shorts retailers capitalized on that fact and marketed Hip Hop fashion for the boxer shorts. Perhaps I can start a movement towards that end. A little variety could go a long way.

One thing I see when those shorts sag low is that most of the boxer shorts are made of cotton. Silk doesn’t seem to be a good option as it would produce unnecessary slippage. Nothing’s worse than having your boxer shorts slip when you’re trying to have a friendly political and motivational discussion with friends.

Of course, discussing boxer shorts that Gangsta Rappers wear would not be complete if I didn’t at least address the subject of Hip Hop belts. I know it’s not politically correct or fashionable to suggest it, but it sure would seem like a pragmatic thing to purchase when thinking about a fashionable designer hat ($20-30) turned sideways on your head, having tons of bling gold necklaces dangling around the neck, and a twenty dollar all white t-shirt (displaying all your bulging and tattooed muscles). Certainly fifteen dollars (and upwards) for a practical belt might go a long way, especially if you’re in the mood to grab some quick extra cash from an unwilling source.

One of these belts could be the difference between $700 from a bank or liquor store and 8-14 years in a Federal Prison. Perhaps I’m in the wrong market completely. Fifteen bucks for a belt or fourteen years in the slammer? Hmm.

I know it seems like I’m trying to change Gangsta, Hip Hop, or Rap Culture. I’m not trying to do that at all. However, I’m trying to encourage a young entrepreneur to create a new multi-billion dollar industry: the Gangsta Rap Belt Industry. Maybe I’m on to something here.
