The Great Hip-Hop Flip-Flop Scandal of 2006

9/12/06, 5:24 pm EST

Jay-Z

First Cam’ron released his Jay-Z dis track, “You Got It” in which he rapped, “How’s the king of New York rocking sandals with jeans and he 42 years old?” And now DMX has called out Jay-Z for wearing sandals, and blames Beyonce. “The flip-flops – he’s just not the same,” DMX told Vibe magazine. “It’s Beyoncé. He’s a sucker for love.” Then DMX goes into his own, rather eccentric, shoe-wearing habits. “Yo, no matter how much vacation I’m on – we been to St. Thomas, Bahamas, all the little islands – I don’t wear no flip-flops” DMX says. “I’m never that comfortable, not even in my own house.” Not even on Sunday mornings? No snuggly elephant slipper-sandals? We now have this mental image of DMX in the ocean with, like, limited edition Nike’s on his soggy feet.

So, the only thing in the “hood” worth speaking out about is what Jay-Z wears on his feet? What a bunch of idiots.

I think we can now close the door. Rap is dead. It was fun…Diddy, hit the lights on your way out.

tess | 9/12/2006, 5:55 pm EST

i think its rather sexy that a man can be laid back sometimes. If Beyonce got Jay-Z in sandals, good looking out girl. The thug appeal is good every now and then but, Jay looks handsome. Now i may be able to push my man over.

Jake | 9/12/2006, 6:08 pm EST

Rap is the new disco. Andy said it- rap is dead.

I mean, Jay-Z sucks for wearing sandals, no one can deny that. But the fact that so many people have to call him out on it shows this genre is running on fumes. God, rap sucks so bad.

johnson | 9/12/2006, 6:13 pm EST

sandals rule and if that’s a condition on going out with Beyonce, do they come in size 11?

Tiff | 9/12/2006, 6:15 pm EST

I think that Cam’ron and DMX has no room to say what’s in or out. Cam’ron has no talent and DMX can’t stay out of jail long enough to talk about anyone.

Mike | 9/12/2006, 6:16 pm EST

What’s sad is that all DMX can say to criticize Jay is what he wears on his feet…”He’s just not the same.”??? X, I love you man, but you haven’t been “The Same” for quite sometime…Wasn’t that you that gave him love,”Talking they got figgaz as big as that nigg@ Jigga.”? When did grown men in hip-hop turn into Queer Eye?

Dwayne W. | 9/12/2006, 6:36 pm EST

You Americans are so damn petty!

Mikey | 9/12/2006, 6:38 pm EST

DMX is like 4′8″! He’s like a little yapper dog who has to make lots of noise to compensate for his insecurity. It’s no wonder he’s never comfortable, always gotta be hard – he’s a f***in bitch!

If you wanna rag JZ, then talk about his shitty raps, not the fact that he wears sandals.

Lobsters | 9/12/2006, 6:44 pm EST

I could give a rat’s ass about what any rapper does or says – But only douchebags wear sandals. And flip flops? QUEER!

ishmael | 9/12/2006, 7:08 pm EST

DMX just needs publicity…badly. Judging from how bad his new album is, I understand why.

jesse | 9/12/2006, 7:10 pm EST

you guys are idiots. rap isn’t dead. real hip hop never dies. only that comercialized bs you hear on the radio.

Jacob | 9/12/2006, 7:19 pm EST

Rap sucks and so does DMX.
He needs to stop talking about Jay and talk about his driving record.

Jacob | 9/12/2006, 7:23 pm EST

Rap music makes me wish I couldn’t hear and makes me want to pull my ears off my head. The more new rap artist come out the more I know that music also has no future.

Jamal | 9/12/2006, 7:27 pm EST

I also belive that rap music has gone down the toilet. All these niggas spittin’ about ho’s and dubs. What a waste of air time.

Fashion Whore | 9/12/2006, 7:33 pm EST

I thought since everyone is cool these days there are no criteria for ‘coolness’. So DMX, Jay Z are both wrong. Say no to Lugz and Flip Flops, hello rubber clogs! in 10 years anyways we’ll all be going, “i can’t beleive that was in style and i wore that”. But i do LOVE my neu indie leisure suit, they are so chic with my CHIPs sunglasses.

DMX? Bitch! | 9/12/2006, 7:34 pm EST

DMX is crazy for calling out a rap legend for no apparent reason.

rap is dead | 9/12/2006, 7:36 pm EST

Rap is dead. Just like EVERY SINGLE music movement before hip hop/rap will be NO exception. Those who deny the past are forced to repeat it. Use to love hip hop, but cmon guys, let find a new FUCkING BEAT!

William | 9/12/2006, 7:40 pm EST

Wow. Those have to be the most worthless comments ever reported. Calling someone out for wearing sandles? I’m sure it’s very easy for Jaz-Z to relax sitting up in his president’s office. And who advised DMX and Cam’ron that saying those things would give them good publicity? Someone please shut them up and never let them speak again.

Anonymous | 9/12/2006, 7:43 pm EST

dumb niggaz

Ryan | 9/12/2006, 7:47 pm EST

Sandals are pretty gay, but who cares? My brother wears sandals.

Jay-Z grew up. He’s relaxing. DMX needs to chill the fuck out, stay out of jail, stop getting arrested for driving with crack and without a license. You’re not “the same” if you grow up, and DMX hasn’t yet.

Pray for him, X. Pray for him and his sandals. Then pray for more crack.

Jeff | 9/12/2006, 7:49 pm EST

That’s fascinating. Really.

Vanessa | 9/12/2006, 8:04 pm EST

come on pplz watz up wit all da negitive words and all. I mean com on yeah it’s dumb arguing bout sandles but DMX has a piont if Jay-Z is a rapper he should keep the style but if he feels more comfortble in sandles then let him b. Oh! bye Da way Rap has soo not gone out of Style Ok. Rock and Tecno is crap.

NE way love ya all Vanessa. 2006

Mutha Trucka | 9/12/2006, 8:12 pm EST

Yeeeeah…..Yeeah….. the guys are so retarded. Ummm…..it’s a freakin pair of footwear. Please, we have higher issues than footwear people. And people is not spelled, “PPLZ” folks. Go back to class and GRADUATE. Learn to read and write.

smartass | 9/12/2006, 8:13 pm EST

With everything that’s going on in the world today – Iraq, Iran, Sudan, and on and on, it’s refreshing to see that there are still people dumb enough to give two shits about what someone else is wearing on their feet!

My vote is to send them all to live with the Taliban.

Anonymous | 9/12/2006, 8:16 pm EST

rap and hip-hop are the bane of society and turn people into retards. Rock rules!!

Devon | 9/12/2006, 8:16 pm EST

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard…This is exactly why rap is terrible now. Its all the same everyone talkin about the same shit…and this is a perfect example why. Everyone has this stereotype of what a rapper has to be down to what he wears on his feet?? This is why rap is getting old because people have a problem with artists branching out and trying different things not only in fashion but even in their music. Its only hurting the art of rap and limiting it…If people were more open to experimentation horizons would be broadened.

chianti | 9/12/2006, 8:22 pm EST

come on guys, not because someone is a star,they are not aloud to wear sandals!it;s fine to wear what ever you which, life is not always about been high! sometimes you feel like been normal, the sandals is cool jay! that’s why some of us never get anywhere in life!someof you need to think befoer you speak out!try somthing else but not sandals.

mr roboto | 9/12/2006, 9:10 pm EST

at least they arent birkenstocks!

THEGOD | 9/12/2006, 9:28 pm EST

Please!!! Will these grown a$$ men stop worring about what another man is wearing. What are y’all Paris Hilton? C’mon! “Real men don’t wear sandals”? I thought X was a minister. Jesus wore sandals all his life and he more man than any sperm donor dead or alive! Me personally I do the Puma Mostros on the beach, just cause i hate to shoe my toes but c’mon they act like Jay went to the VMA’s wit em on! Now I would’ve took a step back on that one….lol. ATTENTION are high class thugs! Stop it! Be a man…Real Men Give Two S%#@ about the next man’s choice of shoes…..as long as they don’t find them in their bedroom…get what i’m sayin?

KESHA | 9/12/2006, 9:36 pm EST

What?????????

pispa | 9/12/2006, 9:48 pm EST

i didn t imagine that sum guys r bettin 4 the dead of rap they r bullshit rap is 4ever alright!yo x and cam ron can say whatever they want, jay z can do whatever he wants.

Carter | 9/12/2006, 9:55 pm EST

1st off: Rap/Hip-Hop is not Dead…it’s just taking a nap, or as I would like to think of it going through it’s natural and needed adolesent phase.

If you look at Rock history you will see the same ebbs and flows throughout it’s history.

But I will say this… DMX and Cam ‘ron need to (as my sister would say) “Go sit the fuck down somewhere!”.

Real HIP HOP WONT STOP | 9/12/2006, 9:57 pm EST

Yo everyone stop hating on rap. First of all new rap is a hell of alot better than all this emo SHIT. second jay-z is the king he can rock what ever the fuck he wants so fuck off crack man x. 3rd hip hop is not dead so stop bitching!!

Beto | 9/12/2006, 10:06 pm EST

Why all the fuzz? If Z wanna wear sandals or flip-flops, let him be!!! Pleassssse!!! In my country (Colombia, South America) is very normal for a man to wear sandals, even flip-flops mostly in weekends or even to go around in some errands. What the hell! Here we don’t think that sandals make you gay. That’s ridiculous…

Ha Ha | 9/12/2006, 10:28 pm EST

HA HA HA !!!
This has to be the most stupid beef ever.. I want record labels, BET, MTV, all radio to ban rap for 10 months ..

RockGod | 9/12/2006, 10:54 pm EST

Jay-Z is a poser… a wangster… he’s a bum… he is a neverwas…. what kind of lifeless pussy wears flip flops…. and he calls himself a man… this guy is a true dink in every sense of the word, we are all waiting for his career to be flushed down the rap-toilet….

Jim | 9/12/2006, 11:14 pm EST

Who doesn’t wear sandals to the beach? Are you fucking kidding me?

Jizzrag | 9/12/2006, 11:18 pm EST

RAP sucks anyways…

TL | 9/12/2006, 11:48 pm EST

Please let jay be jay and let X be X. If jay wants to wear sandals, let him and if X wants to make a dumb crack about it, then let him. Let everyone do their thing. By the way everyone, good rap, rock, and hip hop can co-exist on the same planet! So let’s just let everyone just dance to their own beat, whatever it may be!

WOW | 9/12/2006, 11:51 pm EST

Really, seriously?

WOW | 9/12/2006, 11:51 pm EST

seriously?

im now dumber for reading this | 9/13/2006, 12:23 am EST

bring back the old school rap…. new rap is TERRIBLE. what a waste of time. if i wanted to hear about your house, cars, and bling i would talk to your mom

Matt | 9/13/2006, 12:38 am EST

Maybe DMX has athletes foot.

Penny | 9/13/2006, 1:50 am EST

Who cares if Jay wears sandals? X is the one who isn’t the same after saying ignorant crap like that.

jayzsuka! | 9/13/2006, 2:01 am EST

jayz saks! look at all the rappers that diss him..X, LL COOL J, NAS(b$), KILLA CAM

ps..i wonder y u say DMX’s latest album sucks when its a classic?

dakid | 9/13/2006, 2:23 am EST

DMX needs to stick to reality shows on BET….his day has come and gone. Dude will do anything for publicity to get back in the game….no one cares about DMX anymore.

YO | 9/13/2006, 2:24 am EST

god, rap is dumb – no more proof needed then that this is actually news or reason for a “beef” – tards

Norm | 9/13/2006, 3:35 am EST

Is this even really worth talking about?

And oh yeah, for everyone who’s complaining about how rap should go away, how are DMX’s comments any more asinine than what Hinder’s frontman was saying about OK Go yesterday? Maybe rock is the genre that needs to take a break…

Jay-Z fan4life | 9/13/2006, 3:38 am EST

I saw DMX’s feet on his reality show one night…he couldn’t wear sandals even if they were laced with Diamonds. As wack as his last album is…he should give up rap and become a professional rock kicker.

Joe | 9/13/2006, 3:56 am EST

someone’s gonna get shot over flip-flops. beyonce’s ass could smash DMX’s head anyday.

XJPLL | 9/13/2006, 5:50 am EST

X is dissing J. X doesn’t wear sandals. J does. So what’s the big deal? X and J should unite against P Diddy. P is the problem. X and J are alright. LL has said some things about J as well. X, J, P, and LL need to get over their differences and come together.

XJPLL | 9/13/2006, 5:51 am EST

…for the sake of Easy E. E’s the man. E’s more man than J, X, P, and LL combined.

stainz | 9/13/2006, 6:19 am EST

jay is real but nas is the realest.

Disappointed! | 9/13/2006, 10:13 am EST

This could be the gayest hip hop beef ever……EVER. And having a being a celebrity already then getting a reality show is way gayer than wearing sandals anyday. Jay Z’s the man!

Afro-Man | 9/13/2006, 10:32 am EST

The more stories like this one that rolling stone continues to print only solidifies the death of creative music. Rap is not music. There is still great music being made but you will not find it on the charts or in rolling stone. Get out of your houses and support your local music scene.

Idiots..... | 9/13/2006, 11:09 am EST

Now these two idiots (Camron and DMX) are just reaching too far. Jay-Z must be laughing his ass off as these two fools

Zonk | 9/13/2006, 11:55 am EST

One rapper doesn’t like that other rapper, the other rapper doesn’t like another rapper. Over footwear? This will reach a point of stupidity when in a fit of publicity-seeking confusion a rapper will “Dis” himself, be shot by his own posse seeking “street-cred” (Please ignore the gated community mansion they all live in). This results in a Behind The Music Special in which every “homie” with metal teeth will give their conspiracy theory, declare the dead rapper a genius, and lament why the police never found the true killer.

you know you love it | 9/13/2006, 12:04 pm EST

real men dont wear sandals…. real men smoke crack and impersionate federal agents. dmx is raw.

you know you love it | 9/13/2006, 12:07 pm EST

ON A BETTER NOTE… HOW COME ROLLING STONE DIDNT BOTHER TO MENTION ITS THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF TUPAC’S DEATH? now there is a real hip hop artist…

Daz | 9/13/2006, 12:43 pm EST

Come on now, what’s going on?? Is every rapper so determined to take the ‘best rapper alive’ tag off Jay, that they’ll even dis the footwear he wears on holiday??!

The beef between Nas and Jay was two heavyweights of the game going round for round with each other, but it was kept on wax, and thats part of the hip hop culture i love.

But when wack ass rappers like Camron and DMX start dissing Jigga, then you’ve got to wonder who’s telling these idiots that they are good enough to go toe to toe with Hov. It’s like my mom trying to go 12 rounds with Mike Tyson!

A note to Cam and X, only choose battles you can win. Heard vanilla ice is looking for some publicity again….

And is anyone else tired of this poor excuse for a dj going by the name of Kayslay??!

Cristian From South Gate CA | 9/13/2006, 1:23 pm EST

Jay-z is too far ahead of all these cats He has the money, The albums sales are off the charts, He started the button ups, the doo rags the Jerseys he’s starting his own movement, If you think thats gay that he does that then what the hell do you think of Camron wearing PINK !

wow | 9/13/2006, 1:33 pm EST

just goes to show how bad DMX wants publicity, who gives a shit what kind of footwear Jay-Z wears, hes on vacation, fuck off…

Chad | 9/13/2006, 1:54 pm EST

Back in the 80’s all the beef was about colors. Now all the jealous type rappers(DMX,Camron)are hating on footwear. What’s next? Should I not wear my Birkenstocks outside, in fear of getting hit in a mistaken drive by because I was wearing some sandals? Some one mentioned before about camron’s fetish for pink, and I recall a DMX biography on MTV, and even a visit to Sharon Ozzbourne’s old show in which DMX was playing with toys. Remote controlled toys? And Jay is soft because of his footwear? How about pink lambo’s and toys? Get real. I think it’s about getting your name in the press so some one will try to remember them. Jay X still owns the rap world, and nobody, even dmx and cam , can do anything about until Jay lets up.

Ja Rule | 9/13/2006, 2:10 pm EST

This guy is a bitch…. a wangster…. this guy is a WANGSTER

Sean | 9/13/2006, 3:10 pm EST

I’m not that surprised that cam’ron is still trying to get people to pay him some attention. i know it’s gotta sting that the cats in ur own camp that came out after you (juelz santana, jim jones) are more relevant. cam is a clear example of a mediocre mc who hasn’t gotten the memo about people not really caring about what beef he has w/ other rappers. however, i expected more from dmx. jay has been a flashy dude from day one; dmx on the other hand has always been considered a hoody and timbs type of dude. who really cares if jay is wearing flip flops? he’s a grown ass man and can wear flip flops all day long if he wants. dmx’s career is definetely not where it used to be so maybe this is him showing his frustration.

Beyonce | 9/13/2006, 4:43 pm EST

I have decided to become a dike.

Ashlei | 9/13/2006, 6:56 pm EST

It don’t matter what he wears on his feet why are guys paying so much attention to another nigga feet now that’s gay! I mean did you pay for the sandals? Hell no!
Anyways who wears scandals on the beach? That defeats the purpose of the beach. I mean youi can’t get in the water with sneakers on!
you are all haters!

Ashlei and company..you suck | 9/13/2006, 8:34 pm EST

WTF? Since when did wearing sandals make you gay? If you beleive that, you are retarded..period, no arguement. Even mentally challenged people everywhere would agree thats fucking lame. Rolling Stone, you have become the MTV of journalism. One day you will actually post articles about good music. Rap IS dead, or will be dead soon once DMX stops fucking the corpse. The only relevant thing in this whole article/blog are sandals. They were here before idiots determined almost anything. Rolling Stone, i’m telling everyone i know never to read you again. You should read pitchfork, the articles may suck but at least they have better taste in music.

That Dude | 9/13/2006, 9:56 pm EST

Are people’s lives so fucking miserable and boring that they have to pay attention to what’s on another man’s feet? Fuck Cam’ron, fuck DMX and anybody else that got something bad to say about Jay-Z. People are hating because their careers are so fucking stagnant and he’s still moving up. You can’t wear Tims forever.

Jolen | 9/13/2006, 10:40 pm EST

who cares about any of them? DMX is a crackhead who was incarcerated for a traffic violation and started crying like a baby. If youve seen his show you know that hes very much a pathetic baby. Lil kim had more balls. Isnt Jay-z retired I thought the whole point of being retired is so that the general public doesnt have to hear you rapping over lame reggaeton tracks.

ronnie | 9/13/2006, 11:34 pm EST

Fuck rap.

Ricky | 9/14/2006, 12:59 am EST

I don’t know which is stupider: The fact that people are making a fuss over a guy wearing sandals, or the fact that one of the guys who is calling Jay-Z out for wearing sandals wears mostly fur with purple and pink coloring.

I’d ask Cam’Ron about why is clothing is more gangsta than Jigga’s but apparently, the guys from Queer Eye For The Straight Guy were too busy.

And if I were DMX, I’d worry more about stopping his goddamn erratic behavior. People can argue that Jay-Z lyrical skills have faltered over time, but he has a great business sense to fall back on. DMX’s commercial and critical acclaim have both fallen over the years and what can he fall back on? Convictions for acting like a cop and dog abuse.

Makes people really wish for the days of Tupac and Biggie, huh?

ohnotheyddidnt | 9/14/2006, 10:18 am EST

beefs about SANDALS???????? things sure have changed in the hip hop world, i dunno tonnes about jay-z, except hes got more money in one of his bank accounts than camron and dmx have combined, but im sure they could find something else to rap about….and if not, then grow up lol

shopperazzi | 9/15/2006, 4:14 pm EST

All of them are lucky if they go alluminum. Jay-Z sold out Madison Square Garden in minutes like he was friggin’ Prince, Michael Jackson or Marvin Gaye. Cam’ron couldn’t sell out my kitchen.

What man wouldn’t change for a good woman? He should wear a goddamn hijab if Beyonce’ told him too — he’s a lucky bastard to be with someone so beautiful and business-minded with his ugly ass.

If he’s wasting his time to come out of retirement for those mofos, he’s a schmuck, too.

Famous Friend | 9/15/2006, 4:18 pm EST

Yo this is ridiculous, Sandals!!! Are they really that serious. Rap is done, those who still support it don’t know anything about music other than Rappin’. But that’s beside the point are rappers that self consious about looking hard! Man it’s time for everyone to grow up and stop tryin’ to hustle and care about something other than themselves. Like our country we live in. Majority of people just don’t care anymore and it’s really sad. All they care about is bling bling, dolla dolla bills ya’ll. Grow they F*^k up, Jay I’m happy for you dude. Family is important you already have millions now settle down and have a family teach them to be better than you. Stop tryin to imitate. nuff said otherwise I could go on for dayz.

cOcO | 9/15/2006, 4:30 pm EST

SCREW WHAT THESE TWO WOOSIES(CAMRON &DMX) HAVE TO SAY. THE WHOLE UNIVERSE KNOWS THAT JAY-Z IS THE BEST ALIVE AND OF ALL TIME, AND THIS IS NOT JUST FROM ME BUT FROM MTV & BET COUNTDOWNS. THEY HAVE JUST GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE SO LAME THAT THEIR COMMENTS ARE SO FAR-FETCHED..BOORING. WHO WOULDN’T WEAR SANDALS FOR BEYONCE? DMX IS JUST A BIT BITTER THAT JAY BASICALLY HAS IT ALL: A HOT ASS GIRL, WEALTH & FAME, BUT MOST OF ALL RESPECTED BY MANY. ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD DARE SAY DUMB A*S SH*T LIKE THAT. BUT I’M GLAD THAT JAY IS COMING BACK AT THEM CAN’T WAIT!!

Lena | 9/15/2006, 4:37 pm EST

1st off, the reason people are trippin over the sandals is because nobody in the hood wears sandals. Real n*ggas DO NOT wear flip flops!! and jay-z has portrayed himself to be from the hood. Theres nothing wrong w/it…but just don’t wear em & still claim to be hard! Nebody not from the hood u don’t know about this…

JayneZ | 9/15/2006, 5:50 pm EST

Some people choose to wear “boat shoes” on a boat/yacht because of the material on the sole of the shoe that allows you to properly navigate the deck with the spray of the ocean. Some people wear open-toed shoes while walking on the beach in places where the water is blue and the sand is white or pink (like Bermuda) to experience the cool breeze(Coney Island Beach is dirty and polluted, so I can see the need to wear Tims). If wearing sandals or flipflops in those situations while on vacation makes you less of a man, then the problem lies with the opinionated male that thinks that, not the man who’s comfortable with himself. Remember also that opinions are like navels, everyone has one but that doesn’t make you right. That’s one of the great things about America, you can think what you like. Further to that, DMX dissed the troops in Iraq with a no-show; that’s probably the last straw for his floundering/lost career (unless he goes to Betty Ford Clinic). Isn’t being a rapper a career choice or job, not a lifestyle, because when you make it a lifestyle, other things come into play like violence against your fellow man, leading children astray, denegrating and humiliating your Black Woman. Let’s keep this stuff in perspective. As has been said, there are enough fans to go around for all music genres. Like the artist of your choice while allowing others to do likewise. Is it a crime to think, act, dress, walk and look different? Remember that intolerance can lead to holocausts. Be positive, tolerant and inclusive so that you have something positive to give back to Humanity and your Blessings continue :-)

ANNIE | 9/15/2006, 6:01 pm EST

JAY-Z IS NOT IN THE HOOD NO MORE HE DON’T HAVE TO WEAR CRAPPY SNEAKERS TO PLEASE ALL THE GHETTO PEOPLE LIKE DMX, HE GOT OUT OF THE GHETTO AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE JELOUS OF HIM!! THE REASON DMX DOESN’T WEAR SANDALS IS BECAUSE HE HAS UGLY FEET!

jordan-philly | 9/15/2006, 6:51 pm EST

Imagine two buddiess. kinda grew up in the same neighborhood. used to do everything together. even “rapped” together, you know helped each other out. well one falls in love gets his money in place and lands a great job. he moves out of the hood that him and his freind dreaded walking the streets at night. while the other, inspite of his subtle success stays there. well that man will grow up with the same mentality he had as a child. never maturing into an honest man he tends to feel more and more jealous because his friend has everything he ever wanted! so he lashes out calling his friend a sellout when really his friend sold himslef out by not rising above the situation!

ZULE/ JAY-Z IS REAL | 9/16/2006, 2:12 am EST

EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET OFF JAY-Z AKA BEST RAPPER AFTER TUPAC, ESPECAILLY CAM’RON HE AINT GOT NOTHIN’ ON JAY. AND DMX CUZ HE TALKS BOUT THA LORD THEN HE BE IN JAIL, COME ON MAKE UP YO MIND. DONT HATE CUZ YALL WOULDNT LOOK RIGHT DRESSED LIKE SHAWN CARTER!!

Angie | 9/16/2006, 2:26 am EST

Dude is like what… 37 or 38?? He can’t go on wearing AF1’s all his damn life!!! U gotta mature and grow at some point. If Cam’ron doesn’t like wearing flip flops then be it but don’t get at Jay for wearing them. That’s just ridiculous. Your own man Jim Jones wears tight clothes with a chain hanging down his jeans like he’s a biker. We also didn’t say anything when you wore pink so let Jay be. Grow out of that hood mentality. You don’t have to start putting your pinky up while you drink a cup of whatever it is you’re drinking but have some class.It doesn’t make you a sell out if you have some class.

Postscript: He just mad Beyonce look better than him in pink.

DelfunkboyMusic.com | 9/16/2006, 3:14 am EST

Dam, what a man can’t let his feet get some air?

RenoRed | 9/16/2006, 6:31 pm EST

DMX if you feet were not so Damm STINKY maybe you could wear flip-flops. Your C/D’s have no problem flip-floppen.

chloe | 9/16/2006, 9:47 pm EST

it is stupid to comment about what someone wears on his feet but all of you talkin mess about dmx would never say it to his face

FAUXneBALONe | 9/17/2006, 9:13 pm EST

Didn’t Tony Soprano wear flip-flops last season?

I’d rather be a ganster wearing flip-flops on the beach with a loaf of hundreds in the trunk of my Bentley than Cam-ron who’s a lemon-colored rabbit-fur wearing mediocre rapper who was robbed at Howard’s homecoming or DMX who’s a crackhead faking law enforcer whose Lamborgini was repossessed.

Black guys just don’t wear them. If Jay-z wants tto then et him be, its none of anybodies business. However, what happens if ur in a fight and someone smashes your toes because ur wearing flip flops?

The Carter | 11/11/2006, 4:10 pm EST

Note to Jay-Z: Please continue to be the man that GOD wants you to be. Do not answer any ignorant comments such as those made by Carmon and DMX, who are they? Carmon’s or DMX’s opinions of you does not matter at the end of the day. Furthermore, always remember that no body walking this earth lives in a glass house so we should never throw stones at anyone.

Additionally, Beyonce’ and you are giving black people hope that we can come together as one. Please do not let your legacy be like that of other “has been rappers,” take the higher road and “Show Them What You Got!” A lot more than Carmon or DMX will ever have put together.

A brotha with flip flops | 7/15/2007, 2:27 am EST

Thanks to my black folks for dissing DMX’s lame comment. So whem did sandals or flip flops became “queer” or “not black enuff”? That’s very sad that some of our people who are still slaves to stereotypes after the 60’s. What’s going on?

Sandals or flips don’t make a man gay! And, it doesn’t make a brotha less black. Shoot, we all mutts in America when it comes tha’ family roots! Our African forefathers wore sandals and Jesus Christ wore sandals. So brothas can wear flips or sandals. Isn’t it Afro-centric to wear sandals? Brothas in the Caribbean wear flips and sandals. European men wore covered-up shoes and hosiery. WHOOT, THERE IT IS! Know yur history!

To whomever said that thugs or brothas don’t wear flips in tha’ hood are lying! I saw brothas and black “thugs” wearing sandals and flips during the 80’s and 90’s. That’s old school, bro! I still see them wear them, today! Pretty Ricky sometimes wear flips. Ain’t they thugs?

DMX is on tha’ pipe and needs to quit along with his career. He got issues! I wear flips and sandals cause I love them. I feel great on my feet. I feel like an African king and I do love women. Brothers, don’t let someone punk you by telling how to dress. Be yur own man!

What da fuck is with that shit, man. let them wear what they wanna wear.

Camron, wasnt he the dude in Pink fur? That aint gangsta.

Kamora | 8/13/2008, 1:26 pm EST

Umm, Black folks are descended from Africans right? Has DMX or Cam’ron ever seen pictures of Africans? They wear sandals!
And how pathetic and limited are our men if they have such narrow views of masculinity.
I guess real men abuse animals and sissies are comfortable with themselves. God bless the sissies!

I’m from “the hood” and dudes wear Jordan flops all the time… Yeah everyone primarily wears sneakers for fashion, but you have to be pratical! If your on the beach or doing leisure activities you wear appropriate foot wear such as sandals, flip flops, boat shoes,etc and even barefoot! It’s about comfort people and being pratical! You wouldn’t wear nice sneakers in snow, so why wear them in wet sand?! I mean do people where sneakers in the water while they swim?!
There’s a time and place!
