Someone once told me MC Hammer started sagging first. However, I doubt that that's true.

Cholos never sagged until the 90's when some started changing up the traditional uniform, and from what I understand they also wore high socks because it wasn't cool to be showing skin in the joint, back then only the punks in prison sagged their pants to show their preference but I know this was changed. if you ask me, sagging is the Brothas style.

I never heard that about the socks. I always wore high socks, cuzz I've been doing that since I was a kid & that's what I am comfortable with. I've actually gotten used to 1's just a lil bit smaller than the knee highs. I know people think I look silly wearing knee highs w/shorts & I also starting feeling funny not switching up my style a lil. I saw a foto from the 80's of a cholo that looked like he sagging, but maybe he just had his underwear up too high. LOL He even looked like he had on a du-rag or maybe it was a shirt, but you know what I mean.

You do know blacks wore zoot suits before Mexicans? Blacks in east coast cities like New York and Boston were wearing zoot suits at least 10, maybe 20 or 30 years before Mexicans in L.A. wore zoot suits. I think a lot of black musicians in the early and/or mid 1900s, specifically Jazz musicians, wore zoot suits. I think possibly some black hustlers were also often associated with wearing zoot suits.

Black cats started the sag thing...

Started b/c they were wearing them tight as fu__, high water dickies and they sagged their shit so not to look silly...

Trying to cover that "high-water" look...

Now even here on the Islands, almost everyone sags...

On another note, Mexicans did start the whole hit-ups on the walls w/ their roll calls and old english style and block letter taggings. Blacks aint even near that shit when it comes to hit ups...

And the tattoo phenomenom...
Eseʻs been w/ the business doing tats since the begining, thats one thing blacks cant touch. Even now, blacks go to Mexican artists to get their work done...
Mexicans got all them murals and shit on their backs, arms, necks, etc.

Quick question, why do blacks get tats? You cant really see it w/ the dark skin. Seems like a waste to me...

I believe it was the blacks that started sagging with the jeans. Eses were wearing bagging Dickes when blacks were sagging. I believe it started between 1980 - 1982 with Levi Jeans, I think they were either 501 or 507 Levi Jeans.
