"Brother, Pull Up Your Pants" - Return of the Intellectual Soul Brother III

This is part 3 in the poetry video series "Return of the Intellectual Soul Brother". In this piece, Morpheus's emotions pour out on to the screen in this powerful performance when he is begging and pleading with the American Black Man to stop wearing "sagging pants" in order to redefine the image and the reputation of the black man in America. He talks about the fact that "sagging pants" is really a way to display homosexuality in prison, and that is was never meant to be fashionable. This piece was written and performed by Morpheus the Webmaster. The musical score was produced and engineered by Furious Styles.

If you look at the comments of people who are in favor of the saggy pants "swag", you can look at the grammatical misspellings and the overt use of ebonics. This can conclusively be looked upon as a style that represents a section of society who engages in "street" activity and those that abandon educational institutions. Just look at their speech patterns.  Just horrific!!!!!!!!!

sagging = gross and a sign of stupidity imo. There 's nothing "swag"(ugh hate that word) about underwear.

I can't believe brothers are bitchin about weaves but think it's ok to show your stank draws. Can you spell p-r-i-o-r-i-t-i-e-s?

I do agree that sagging needs to quit. It is a problem. There should not be a law for it but that does not mean that it is not a problem.
