There has been a growing movement by certain influential rap artists that are starting to wear women's clothing. Styles P of The Lox doesn't think it's cool.
As the father of a 14-year old son he says he might lose his cool if his kid came home wearing a Kanye West-type skirt.
"I wouldn't want him to do the Kanye skirt thing. Or to think that sh*t is cool," Styles told Vlad TV. "I might lose my mind temporarily [if my son came home in a skirt]. Temporarily I don't know what the f*ck I would do. That would f*ck me up."
The problem P sees with certain rappers is that they don't offer messages to counter some of the things they say or do that might have a negative impact on the culture.
"When these guys do wear skirts or their clothes that look like female's clothes, I think they have to understand the impact they have on our culture," explained Styles. "And I can't knock them because I talk mad gangster sh*t. So I have to remember at times to balance out. Or remember to say this to the people. Do positive sh*t, go to school, eat healthy, don't go to jail, leave gangster-ism alone. They have to remember that there's a whole fan base of men out there who have sons that's looking like 'damn, Kanye just blew my sh*t. Damn, Wayne just blew my sh*t.'"

LebronJames.com has kicked off their new "Witness" series, which will highlight different experiences from artists, DJ's, executives and journalists.
The first feature is about 50 Cent giving back to the community when he surprised 300 kids at the Brooklyn, New York Boys and Girls Club back in November with a visit and concert.
"It's an opportunity for me to influence the youth," 50 said at the time. "Maybe I can inspire a few people today. It's important that you have different things in the communities that allow the kids constructive things to do with their time. Instead of just idle time."
Joe La Puma, Director of Content Strategy for Complex Magazine, was on the scene for the occasion and writes about what he witnessed
Joe La Puma
“Writing about pop culture and music makes for a fun job. There’s a lot of cool assignments that number-crunchers don’t get to do, and it’s a passion profession that people get paid for. Sometimes when you’re doing the same thing for a number of years you can forget that. But then there are moments that remind you why you started doing this in the first place. Last September I tagged along with 50 Cent for a Complex cover story at a surprise event at The Boys And Girls Club on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn.
The assignment was awesome because a) I’ve been a 50 stan since my college years, and b) the element of surprise is something that’s always been intriguing to me. Three-hundred kids, ranging from the ages of 8 to 12 packed a small gymnasium and were told they were going to be part of a commercial for the Boys & Girls club.The kids’ faces were unfazed and unenthused initially, but it all changed when 50 emerged from the parking lot. 50′s collab with Alicia Keys “New Day” blasted from the makeshift stage and the kids’ jaws dropped. Screaming and impromptu dancing followed, and 50 went in the crowd where he was swarmed by the youngn’s. “No one is going to believe me!”
One of the kids told me after I asked them about the experience. In my six or so years as a journalist it was the coolest thing I ever witnessed. It’s one of those experiences you can’t help but get chills from. It’s one of those hip-hop writing assignments that’s a lot deeper than album delays and debates. It’s one of those assignments that’s a lot deeper than rap. I’ll remember it forever.”

Beyonce told b*tches to "Bow Down" on her new single, but Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg thinks she has lost her spot to Rihanna.
"Beyonce fans don't get mad, just admit it. Rihanna is when you're trying to party and be free. Beyonce is like when you're filling a bottle with breast milk or cooking dinner for your family," Peter said this morning on "The Realness."
Peter wasn't done there. He had more to say about Beyonce becoming old news and even throws a jab at Kelly Rowland.

Rick Ross appears to have crossed a line that no amount of explaining or apologizing will bring him back from.
In a new song titled “U.O.E.N.O.” with rappers Rocko and Future, the MMG CEO seems to advocate date rape.
“Put molly all in her champagne / She ain’t even know it / I took her home and I enjoyed that / She ain’t even know it," Ross raps in the song.
The fallout from the insensitive lyrics has reached a fever pitch as one women's rights group is demanding that Reebok drop the rapper from his endorsement deal with the company.
Nita Chaudhury, co-founder of anti-sexism group UltraViolet, started a petition that as of Friday had gathered 51,000 signatures according to Billboard.
His lyrics aren't vague, he's not hinting that he raped a woman--he's clearly and proudly saying that he drugged and raped a woman who was not capable of consent.By holding Rick Ross up as something to aspire to, Reebok is sending the message that raping a woman is cool--and that's a dangerous message to send the boys and young men that Reebok markets to. This is what rape culture is.
Reebok needs to know that we won't stand for this. Will you sign the petition telling Reebok that rape is NEVER okay and they should drop Rick Ross right away?
Tell Reebok:
Rewarding a man who brags about raping women sends a dangerous message. Rick Ross' lyrics about drugging and raping a woman are offensive and outrageous, and Reebok should drop him as a spokesperson immediately.
Nita Chaudhury
“Reebok devotes a lot of time, energy and money to marketing to women," Chaudhury said.
Rose Clemente, a hip hop activist, journalist and 2008 Green Party candidate for Vice President, released a YouTube video on Monday speaking out against Ross' lyrics.
"That is the brilliant Rick Ross in all his glory. Not only has he been problematic for years, but if you didn't hear [the song] let me go back to my computer real quick," Clemente says, before playing Ross' portion of the song. "This is disgusting to say the least. This lyric is obviously promoting rape. Not just date rape, but rape and rape culture and violence against women. We live in a society that, by the time that African American women and Latina women are 18, almost half of them -- 44 percent -- have been sexually abused."
Muskegon, Michigan non-profit community station 103.7 the Beat/WUVS-LP, announced that it will no longer play any of Ross' music because of the song.
“Following that teen rape case in Ohio, we felt [Rick Ross] was very insensitive. It sends the wrong message out to the youth that’s following him,” Paul Allen Billings, general manager/program director of the station, told Billboard. “To promote a date rape drug in a song, it’s like saying its OK to do this behavior. He’s saying it’s acceptable.”
The YouTube channel FemGeniuses has released two videos condemning Ross.
"Sex without consent is rape. That's something we know. It's a shame that you don't," is the prevailing theme of the videos, in which various men and women voice their opinion on the matter.
There are currently at least four separate petitions on Change.org calling for either a public apology from Ross or to have the song pulled from airplay.
How will Reebok respond? Could Ross lose his lucrative endorsement deal? If not, should he?
