Ok for those of you wondering about the correlation between Polanski and Woody Allen… sure he married a much younger woman… BUT she was his stepdaughter AND he took nude pictures of her when she was TWELVE!! That’s a pedophile in my book! There was some legal charges filed by Mia Farrow (her mother) behind it, but not much came of it.
As far as the baggy pant phenonmena goes, here’s the real truth:
When someone goes to prison, they confiscate their belts and shoelaces. Artists of the Hip-Hop era adopted this style of dress to make them look more thuggish and give them more “street cred” as though they had been in prison. Though a negative image and sometimes a racial stereotype, entertainment moguls use this image to sell records.
That’s not Ralph, that’s Jerry.
