In 2011, on the Watch The Throne tour, Kanye West rocked a leather kilt onstage so that we would talk about Kanye West having rocked a leather kilt on stage.
Now it’s 2014, and Lord Jamar still won't shut up about it.
In Jamar's interview with the Combat Jack Show, which posted online last week, the former Brand Nubian MC restated his distaste for Kanye's "skirt," Macklemore's "Same Love," and even the notion of a gay rapper having a single pop off in the club. And aside from not being down with rap’s latest fashion, Jamar is convinced that that hip hop has been emasculated—or, rather, "efeminized"—to a cosmopolitan extreme. Not just the androgynous skirts and the skinny jeans, but also the proliferation of white rappers, middle class sensibilities, and political correctness within hip-hop.
When Kanye donned the kilt at the Concert for Sandy Relief in December 2012, a year after premiering the look on the Throne tour, disbelief was spit from various corners of the Internet, including Twitter. Kim Kardashian, for one, thought it was “so cute.” But a season later, Kanye pressured stock photo agency Getty Images to delete all photos of him wearing the kilt on the Sandy benefit stage, possibly due to negative feedback from fellow rappers. As if Weezy or 2 Chainz would have room to talk.
But sure, it’s a fair observation that hip-hop fashion has evolved beyond the stern leather-and-fedora uniformity of Run-D.M.C. That said, has hip-hop really, universally, turned fem? e.g., Here is a photo of A$AP Rocky frolicking in the snow.

OMAR EPPS WEARS A SKIRTS ON THE VIEW/ LORD JAMAR VS MARLON WAYANS
Lord Jamar, a strong opposer of men in skirts, got in a Twitter argument with "Scary Movie" actor Marlon Wayans after posting a photo of actor Omar Epps, who wore something that resembled a skirt on The View. The Brand Nubian rapper originally tweeted a screenshot of Epps with the caption, "What the bloodclot???!!!," which caught Marlon's attention.
Wayans messaged Lord Jamar, "@lordjamar the real question is why you taking close shits of a nigga crotch and tweeting it? U wearing an invisible dress. #real2snapsupofu."
Jamar was quick to respond, "@MarlonWayans I'm not the one who took the pic it was sent to me...why u worried? U like that style huh? Lol."
The whole debate continued on Twitter, with both men taking shots at one another. Catch the full action in the above slide.
