"What's happening? My swag? My style? You like that? Yeah. Well you know what I'm saying, my style as the call is hip hop how you dress, you know. So I'm going to give you a quick run down on the runway. You know what I mean? When it come to this hip hop flavor. First off, you know, it's gotta be comfortable you know, you can't be just throwing anything together. Hat's gotta match the shirt, you know what I mean. You gotta have the crispy kicks and all of the above. You gotta have the hat. So people rock 'em to the front, you know what I mean. Or you might want to rock it to the back with a little lean on it up in the back. It don't matter. Some people to the left. Some people to the right, you know what I mean. Now, some people like to let the shirt hang all the way out, but you know, I step it up a little bit 'cause when I'm rocking that fly belt you know, I want want to show it off a little bit, so I just let it crease down a little bit and hang out the back on the back side. Baggy jeans, fitted, you know what I mean, loose fit. And if they're to... hanging off the front, I tuck 'em up in on the front, so that I'm not dragging 'em all over. You know, and that's how we keep it hip hop. That's how we keep it baggy, keep it fresh, you know. Rock the bandanna out the back. Let it hang, the swag. You know you gotta have your piece. You know, jewelery as an accessory is a must. Right now, you know, I didn't want to come all iced out today 'cause I could have. But, little ear rings, little chain, medallion. Sometimes I like to rock the watch, you know what I mean with a couple ice in it, little bling on the fingers. Do it up, you know what I mean. Be comfortable. Be big. Loose fit, make sure that you just feeling comfy, relaxed, you know what I mean. Now you don't want to go too big to where it look like you dropped a load in your pants or nothing but you just gotta do you, you know what I mean. Do you. do your flavor what every it is. You might want to rock the jerseys. Maybe you might be up into the button ups. It's different many flavors, you know what I mean. But this is my swag. This is my steeze and it they call it hip hop. I'm fresh to death. And then once you get all done up, pop your collar. And that's how you do it."
