Hip-hop
Continued from page 3
“Hip-hop fashion really reflects the creativity of the cultim
People speak through what they wear, and a lot of the fashionsu
cyclical, like what was hot in 1979 comes back again in
forms, like Chuck Taylors for example,” Coleman said. “It’ssi
times about taking something plain and making it special.”
It is not just the music that makes the culture. There are five!!}
ditional elements to it: turntableism, break dancing, graffiti
MCing and hip-hop knowledge. Coleman said there are oftend
matic reasons why those who participate in the culture wearwtj
they do.
“For a B-boy (break dancer), a three-piece suit wouldn’t wj
because you couldn’t move enough,” Coleman said. “The gral
artists would wear hoodies and Timberland work boots becaust
was the necessary gear. There was something to be said for homo
geneity as it was a good thing to look like everyone else in
yard graffiti writing.”
Coleman had his first encounter with hip-hop fashion
Georgia when he made friends with some stylish people fromfis
Jersey and New York whose style he emulated. From ConverseAE-
Stars to Air Jordans, shoes have always played an important role
hip-hop fashion, and there used to be a difference between shoesaif
sneakers.
“At the time, there was a big thing of the sneakers versus
shoes. The sneakers were the cats who went to the park, wemti
block parties, and there wasn’t a dress code because they cot
afford it,” Coleman said. “The shoes were the disco crowd,
could afford things that the sneaker crowd couldn’t afford. Whenil*
sneakers got enough economic power, they no longer wore sneak

They are both vital, and it was the sneakers who introducedite|fthe
shoes to rap music.”
Shorty Dawg, a local MC and sophomore philosophy majorwk
is currently working on a third mix tape and has already recorded
demo, said he is fan of Air Force Ones and Jordans.
“I like baggy jeans with white T-shirts,” Shorty said. “A loi^fllc
people are into dog tags because they can’t afford to play
(diamonds), so they just get silver. I also like the color in my stioei
to match my hat.”
Chelcie Wesley, a graduate student in sociology, first noticed^
w hite T-shirt trend when she was out in Philadelphia.
“White T-shirts have become the fashion,” Wesley said. “Then
is no wardrobe, it’s economical because you can just go buyi
pack of Hanes to match your Chuck’s. The jeans are also
decorated now.”
Wesley said shoes are also important in new women’s fashionsai
women, who are a part of hip-hop culture, are sporting brightcol
ored pumps and cutoff sweatshirts, and she has even seen bootswift
leg warmers attached.
“It’s the 80s. without the hair." Coleman said.
While the presence of a hip-hop culture on A&M’s campus isirt
exactly obvious, Williams and other members of the Hip-Hof
Society are working to cultivate one.
“Learning about the elements of hip-hop culture is pertinentlo
studying identity in general,” Williams said. “This isaneatavei
to share knowledge.”
The society held its first breakout session last Friday at Runw
w here poets and MCs performed. Williams said the society hopes*
hold one big event each month, including an MC Battle possibii
collaboration with Prairie View A&M.
“Hip-hop is a vehicle to first off understand who you are and k
able to define yourself in a context that takes the biggerpkluteinto
consideration,” Williams said. “As a culture, it’s big and it s global,
it transcends race find economic status. Hip-hop even has political
power, a huge power lying dormant that could go throughout the
world with an epicenter at A&M, a goal we are shooting for.”
