The background
Rapper Kanye West has ruffled a few feathers by taking to Twitter and voicing his thoughts about fashion, reported US magazine.
Here are some of his pet peeves:
I hate long ass sideburns with the line up RnB beard
— Kanye West (@kanyewest) May 5, 2012
I Hate big ass striped scarves
— Kanye West (@kanyewest) May 5, 2012
I hate khaki cargo shorts
— Kanye West (@kanyewest) May 5, 2012
There were a lot more. Kanye also hates buttoned up shirts, hoodies with sports coats, and khaki trench coats. As he eloquently put it, “All this in five blocks…”
Get off your high horse!
Vice magazine, however has taken Kanye West to task for his rant, and went onto the streets to ask people wearing these items what they thought about it all. Said Juan, a market stall trader: “Even if I knew who he was, it would make no difference. Oh sure, so he’s entitled to feel the way he does about my dress. A different thing would be if he threatened to punch me.” Juan was wearing a “big ass striped scarf.” Said Daniel, a visual developer: “He needs to get off his bloody high horse.”
Sometimes a man needs pockets
MTV‘s blog was also indignant. “Why you gotta blow our spot like that, Kanye? We’re big fans of button-ups, hoodies and khaki cargo shorts. (Hey, sometimes a guy needs a few extra pockets!)”
