? about Chicago rappers and fitted caps

[11wordisbond]

What's up NT,
I was gonna post this question in the thread about the murders in Chicago this past weekend but decided I would get a better response in its own space. Fromreading that thread I was made aware that rocking your fitted a certain way signifies gang affiliation, and had me wondering if this was the reason that Chitown rappers rarely rock fitteds? When I think about it, I can't recall ever seeing Common or Kanye rock a fitted, and only seen Lupe and Twista rockingthem on a few occasions. Any input would be appreciated. 1

All my fitted hats now go in a box upon arrival to Chi-Town. Its a damn shame i cant even rock my style without some goon trying to catch me like a scene fromThe Wire.

It has nothing to do with that, half of the people you mentioned just aren't "fitted people."

What's with this sudden fear to wear a fitted baseball cap in Chicago??

If you look like a gang banger you're probably gonna get checked regardless. And don't be in a spot where you have no business being in.

I work in a community center in a bad neighborhood and wear a fitted White Sox or DePaul baseball cap with a big D or a demon on it every day and haven'thad any problems. Actually, I live in a bad neighborhood too. But I've left behind all those fears about what color I'm wearing and what I'mwearing many years ago in my early teenage years. I just dress pretty normal (polos, sports team t-shirts or t-shirts from our organization, jeans, baseballcap, and Sambas, Chucks, Purcells, or Jordans) in clothes that fit me right and I haven't really been bothered.

Wait...Did I miss something? Is this true? People will flex on you depending on the way you wear your HAT? Not even color, but the way it is worn?
