where did ____ come from??

Prowler3 · **where did ____ come from?? -** 12-23-2004, 05:10 AM

a few things i would like to ask what culture and where they come from.

1. wearing your hate at an angle or backwards. is that a hip-hop thing? Apparaantly old time bboy 'Spy' used too, but i didnt know if he invented it. anyone know who and from where??

2. Beanies as fashion items? is that from bboys with beanies? is that y beanies are like fashion items? or is that a snowboarder thing??

3. Graffit. Anyone have any idea to the origin and is it like skater-culture, gettho stuff? or hiphop?

thx

man where you been living

, all three u mentioned came from american culture, the beanie thing I think pretty sure was a snowboarder thing at first, graffiti is straight up hip hop, graffiti is supposedly the first aspect of hip hop culture to arise,

wearing hats at angles is not just a hip hop thing no idea where it came from, but pretty sure it started from america, not to sound ignorant or anything, but alot of shit like baggy pants, hats backwards, baggy shirts, bling, gangsta shit, hip hop, rock all that shit from america, i'm real tired right now

wel tilted hats coulda started anywhere. i been doing it since i started wearing hats at like age 6, and i'm 23 now. but i'm sure heads did it before lil ol' me.

as for graff its my knowledge that modern grafitti was started by a guy writing "cornbread." and he wrote it to get this girls attention, but i forget her name. he would write cornbread loves ????. but he became famous for bombing the bottom of the Jackson 5 plane from wing tip to wing tip while it was in a philadelphia airport hanger. thats where it first got acknowledged, but then it became really famous on train in NY

teh reason i'm sure tilted hats or backward hats is a american thing is that, american is the type of country, that doens't really borrow from other countries cultures, more like teh opposite way

wearing hats backward has been around since hats were. if any has read Catcher in the Rye, the kid in that book wears his hat backward, and that's from like the 40s or some shit. anyone know when hats were invented?

graffiti was actually the last aspect of hip hop. the first was the DJ cuz you needed music to start anything. then there was the MC to compliment the music. then came bboys and graffiti artists.

huh weird looks wearing your hat angled, umm no, anybody can wear weird hats angled, they might look at you funny if your clothes don't fit the hat angled look, its not just a hip hop thing its anything, and why the hell would you need a excuse to wear a hat angled, man this site makes me angry,

you dont need an excuse to wear your hat at an angle. if someone gives you a weird look, punch him in the gut.
