The 8 Worst Hip-Hop Fashion Trends
Recently, Comedy.com’s Fashion Correspondent, Mike Burns gave us his take on the worst fashion trends for douchebags. Let’s see what his take is on awful hip-hop trends. Here are the 8 worst hip-hop fashion trends. Enjoy.
Think some of these are passé? They might be to you if you live in a major city, but I guarantee you if you swing by the local mall in the Midwest or the south, you’ll see this garbage sadly alive and well. I’ve been in Detroit , Chicago , New York , and Los Angeles recently, and all of this bad taste is still vomiting all over from coast to coast.
8. BAPEstas
Nigo of “A Bathing Ape”, and Pharrell Williams’ fashion Asian houseboy, has been releasing these Nike Air Force 1 knock-offs for years. And charging twice as much for them.
Doesn’t anyone remember the line, “I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips!”
BAPEstas = Zips. Just because they cost a shit-ton and are hard to get, it doesn’t make them cool.
7. Sports Jerseys
You know who should wear dude’s sports jerseys? Teenage girls whose boyfriends play for their high school team.
Either that or New York guidos who want to go down on Derek Jeter but would never admit it so instead they just wear an oversized Yankees jersey to crappy midtown sports bars, making sure it’s long enough to hide their closeted Jeter boner.
Thankfully, these are almost all the way out the door unless you live in a trailer park and want to play gangsta with your broke ass peroxided Eminem haircut and giant denim shorts. Corny hoops or fake diamond earrings optional.
By the way, isn’t it funny how the new generation of white trash stoner racists now dress like the “wiggers” their older brothers used to beat up?
6. Giant Denim Shorts
Once they go past the bottom of the calf, they’re officially kulots.
You know. Kulots? The giant skirt shorts that overweight grade school art teachers wear?
Man, do giant denim shorts ever suck some serious shit.
5. Ridiculously Large Diamond Encrusted Jewelry
Look, there are classics like The Roc chain that are timeless and iconic. And by today’s standards, maybe even considered understated.
But wearing novelty-sized diamond jewelry is gross. I don’t care what you paid for it, you might as well just wear some giant wacky novelty eye glasses and a fake Steve Martin arrow through your head, you wild and crazy guy!
Yes Rick Ross, you too. No one wants to see your big fat head twice.
4. Copping Your Gear From Marshalls or TJ Maxx
Please, PLEASE, don’t buy your “streetwear” from Marshall’s or TJ Maxx. It’s there for a reason. You’re better off in some fresh Dickies and a Hanes t-shirt from the Army Surplus store than getting a bargain on a Slim Shady brand sweatsuit that no one fucking wants.
Also saying, “copping gear”. Let that go too. We all know you’re “copping” it with a credit card you can’t afford to pay off.
3. Articles of Clothing With Looney Toons or Disney Characters on Them
You think that whole thing is done? Go ahead, take a stroll through Dr. Jay’s in Manhattan . A whole section of the store looks like Friz Freleng went on a bender, came back to life, and got loose in there with a paint brush.
A XXXL Tweety Bird leather jacket is so fucking repulsive that I can’t even think of words to critique it with other than comparing it to a “XXXL Tweety Bird Leather Jacket”.
2. New Era 5950 Caps
Done correctly, these are a timeless item. Too bad the majority wear ‘em with the sticker still on long after the rest of the cap has gone by the wayside. Dude, just because you still have the sticker on it doesn’t mean it’s new. There are sweat rings on the outside that look like Bob Ross was trying to paint fluffy clouds and happy mountains on your head.
Unless you’re Jay-Z in a navy NY cap or Lil’ Wayne in a blood red fitted, do us a favor and walk out of Lids without that ugly as fuck fluorescent blue camo Dodgers hat. You’ve done enough damage to the genre. I don’t care if it matches your new ugly as fuck whatever you were going to match it with.
And don’t even start with, “but my 5950 is a collab between The Hundreds and and ALIFE” or some shit.
Shut up. No one cares. Even hypebeast is just throwing those things a bone at this point.
1. Anything With Skulls On It
You know? Like t-shirts with rhinestone skulls on them? Skull rhinestone belt buckles? Jim Jones ballin’ stylee?
Yuck. We get it. You shop at those “edgy” stores in the mall. Great job, MC Avril Levigne.

Great article! I totally agree. These are definitively the 8 worst fashions EVER! –tatoobags.com
January 8th, 2009 at 5:23 am
hm. not bad. did n e 1 notice that in the #8 picture (the shoe) that one of the guys name was Pharrell Williams instead of Will Ferril
January 8th, 2009 at 6:45 am
I’ll never stop wearing my Hockey Jerseys..never i say.
I would like to see what you smartguys where? Probably have a preferred customer card from the GAP or Old Navy i bet. “Look honey i have 15 shirts that all interchange and only paid $10.00 a piece for them and the third one was half off!” You and your eastlands can kiss my butt!!! LOL
January 8th, 2009 at 7:59 am
where I work I am unfortunately bombarded with these fashions, sometimes all at once on one person. At least I’m not the only one who thinks these styles are WHACK!
January 8th, 2009 at 10:54 am
i call bullshit on this thread. i understand the jewelry but whats wrong with getting your clothes at marshalls or tj max…. you kids will see when your parents arent paying for all your shit how expensive it can be lol. silver sppon shit tards. author included.
January 8th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
It’s funny that this article is coming from a middle aged white guy who wears teal sleeveless shirts and camo hats. There’s a nice sense of fashion for you. oh wait, there is no credibility.
January 8th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
what the fuck ever! You can’t blame hip hop for bad fashion. In fact, I don’t even think that fashion is bad. I believe is heading into a new direction. ALSO if you want to buy your clothes from Marshall’s or whatever then do it. Many designers fail to realize that people can’t afford to pay 80 dollars for a tank top so who the fuck cares. You need to do something more constructive with your time.
January 8th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
The authors of this article are obviously Douche-Bags…
January 8th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Obviously this guy is some douche fashion designer that couldn’t get his product off the line and now hes taking it out on everyone else.
January 8th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
An unfortunate result of trying to be “edgy” and “new,” which really just gave the world “tacky” and “obnoxious.” I don’t get the TJ Maxx thing though, other than its kinda boring.
January 8th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I agree with all of this stuff, it is all complete jerk-off consumerisim at its best. At on time hip-hop was about something. Now it is just about what can get me my endorsemt deal now. Seriously, how can someone like 50 cent be hardcore, or “gangsta” if all I see him do now is in a gay ass poster at foot locker hawking his over priced low quality reeboks. But as for the jersy thing, there is a difference between people who wear hockey jerserys and the rest. the hockey ones are the only ones that ever have looked good and will only ever look good, the baseball thing about guidos and their jeter boners… dead on; football jerseys, really? they are way over sized and they look bad, and basketball jerseys all they are is a tank top with your favorite rapist, murderer, drug dealer, woman beater name inserted on the back**. ** this does not only pertain to basketball.

8. Ok there are many products this happens with. So your meaning to tell me because the Wii is hard to get we should ditch it? Or better yet because Coach purses are in demand we should stop those too right? This is ridiculous, This is how companies start. Get over it.
7.JERSEYS?!?! Are you kidding me?!?! Jersey will be worn for as long as sports are around. If Jersey were such a terrible “Fashion Statement”, then why would the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and European soccer organizations invest so much money in them? This is probably your worst on the list. Hey, I got an idea. Tomorrow were going to say polo shirts out, because i think its stupid.
6. Ok, I some what agree with this. BUT ITS A FASHION STATEMENT! That’s what makes me different from Tim and Jim and Joe. (I also believe you were looks for Capris. You know, Capris the pants that look pants just 3 inches above your ankle? Dresses and Jeans do not compare well.
5. Getting a little specific are we? Sounds like your running out of ideas? You should have made this article how to insult Black People. Everything you have stated has nothing to do with “Hip Hop”. Hold on, Let me right my article That probably pertains to you. HEADING: The 8 Worst POP Fashion trends.You see? Because you Dress like Justin Timberlake i’ve now included your style as Pop. Makes this whole article seem stupid.
4.WOW. You must live under a rock. “Copping”…are you serious? Maybe your 30 year old middle aged mid life crisis having friends use the word “Copping”. But i haven’t heard that shit since …well….since….actually never. No one has ever looked at me seriously and said “Bro, I need to cop these”.
4-A. Hating on people for being slightly less better off then you. NICE. Sorry Mr. Hybrid driving, better then everyone asshole. I’ll admit I don’t do my shopping at these places but If i need something to kick around the house in, or something that i know is going to get messed up I don’t go to Old Navy and get a pair of khakis you jackass. I GO TO MARSHALLS. So fuck you and the horse you rode in on. (unless that Horse shops at marshalls…then he’s straight.)
3. I’m sure that people do this, but seriously its a stretch. I haven’t seen a Looney Toon shirt since I was 5 years old. Once again that’s what makes it fashion. If i wanted to wrap myself in saran wrap and call it the next fashion statement I would. That’s America you communist.
2.WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW! You are a complete newb. There are two reason you keep a sticker on your hat. 1. When you remove the Tag there is almost always a visable ring from where you removed it. So instead you keep it on. 2. Have you ever gone into a coach purse? It has the tags in it to say its real and not a knock off. Same with hats. By leaving that sticker on there your telling everyone “Hey, I deffintly didnt buy this from a fucking street vendor. I went into a store and bought this shit for 35.00. Oh and i guess the only ones that can have an oppinon on what to wear on people who are rich. That makes sense. You would probably like it better if the Government told us what to wear right? Sounds like communism again…
1. HAHAHA. Heres a list for you. Top 8 worst comparisons on shitty blog posts. NUMBER ONE: Comparing Avril Levigne to Jim Jones. YOU SUCK.
January 9th, 2009 at 8:37 am
I don’t agree with the TJ Maxx but then again trying to look rich wearing cheap clothes isn’t the best idea. I find it funny how all the trendy kids are telling you your apprently wrong.
January 9th, 2009 at 11:13 am
u forgot them fukin hats that that guy from N-Dubz started a gay fasion trend before christmas i REALLY hate them
January 9th, 2009 at 9:02 pm
this is so stupid. some i agree with but whats wit the tj maxx stuff? and the jerseys? wtf
January 12th, 2009 at 8:25 am
why do sports teams invest in jerseys, Sycorange ?
Really fucking simple, they cost 5 bucks to make and sell for 80+.
You do the math.
January 13th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Correct…And because they sell. The price has nothing to do with it. Sure they make a profit but at selling them at that price they know the Public will buy them for 10 bucks or 80 bucks. Doesn’t matter. Its still a trend that wont be broken until sports dies. So its still a horrible description for this list.
January 14th, 2009 at 12:25 am

January 20th, 2009 at 9:32 pm

January 25th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
iight imma agree with you on a couple of tha thangs and shit (and if ya cant tell, im one of those hip hop mutha fuckaz myself)but your opinions are wrong and you need 2 reevaluate youre whole life up 2 this point. 1.bapes CAN look good az long az you dont get tha ones with tha outrageous colors that you can spot out from across a fuckin stadium. 2.whats wrong with jerseys? most of us r sports fans you asshole. 3. the only “shorts” i dont like r tha ones that you have up at ur waist but still come down 2 ur ankles. but yes, i do indeed sag my shorts quit far, and tha infamous question, “why dont you just wear pants?” cuz BITCH i like ta let my nutz breath, and id appreciate if you’d get off em! 4. yeah..big ass charms are just retarded. i agree. 5. marshall’s iz cheap damnit… 6. never really been a fan of tha loony tunes thangs myself. but tigger iz gangster, fuck what you say. 7. i agree with tha sticker thang. 8. i agree but disagree..i like skulls. tha shit go hard. but rhinestone skulls look gay. guys who wear rhinestones and dont take it up tha ass must b metro sexual. thats all..thank you for your time
February 5th, 2009 at 10:00 am
nice blog
February 10th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
You’re right about most of this, but you got it kinda twisted with the skull thing. The fitted style has really taken over. and besides this fashion is for the hood, no one gives a fuck what you wear here.
