Political Goon
Recently I made a post about Plies’ new single produced by Mannie Fresh called “Pants Hang Low”. Read the post HERE. What I forgot to mention is that Plies is being more political than Dead Prez with this seemingly generic song.
Recently in South Florida, specifically Opa Locka, city commissioners banned “saggin on city property.” Plies is from South Florida (shout out to the 239!) so clearly he was aware of the issue.
Personally, I think it’s ridiculous that in AMERICA a style of clothing can be banned! I sagged my pants in high school. Was it the best look? No. But it shouldn’t be banned by officials. That is un-American.
Watch a VIDEO about the Opa Locka Sag Ban.
Listen to Plies’ SONG about his low-riding pants.
Nice whip!

Founder and Executive Editor of Hiptics. I launched Hiptics in 2008. I spent the last 4 years at Denison University where I hosted a weekly hip-hop radio show on 91.1 WDUB (one of America's Top 20 Most Popular College Radio Stations). I also served as Public Relations Chairman, Program Director, and Webmaster of the station. I genuinely love hip-hop, and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the culture starting with selling my own music in Middle School (haha, true story). I won the Culture Jam Freestyle Battle at Denison both times I participated. I brought Wiz Khalifa, EbGb, and D.Julien to campus for a free Hiptics show in January 2010. I've interviewed everyone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to the CEO of Death Row Records. I've DJ'd for Wiz Khalifa and Sam Adams, as well as at countless parties and campus events. There's a lot more to be said, but I don't want to be THAT guy. My point is this: I'm not just another one of these hip-hop bloggers. If the Internet didn't exist, I'd still be in the game.

True, it probably shouldn’t be baneed, On the other hand it should be considered Probable Cause for a Stop & Search. If idiots are going to glorify criminal behavior and dress to look like street thugs, then they should be treated as if they ARE street thugs until proven otherwise.
that makes no sense ^^
if you dress a certain way you should get searched? this is AMERICA!
jonolan, you should move out of the country. if someone can’t keep there pants up around their waist they should be searched? whaaattt? stupidest comment i have heard in a long time. so because your picture is a guy with gothic face paint, i should assume you cut your wrists and listen to Korn all day until proven otherwise. dude, get real, you really might want to rethink your logic here, because there is no reasonable argument for banning sagging pants.
