Dipset Head Scarves: Hump Or Dump?
When you’ve already smacked off every kufi in the tri-state area, keeping heads warm in the winter can be tough. Well, now it seems that Jim Jones has endorsed a new Dipset-friendly form of headwear: the Louis Vuitton scarf draped over the dome.
After coordinating their outfits in the “Love Me No More” video (click here to see Complex’s behind-the-scenes video on the set), Jimmy and Juelz birthed a potential trend. The look is half hoodie, half untied doo-rag, but with an extra luxurious swag-splash. And since the video debuted a few weeks ago, we’ve even spotted some Dip-stans running around NYC, draped-up in silk scarves. But the question remains…will the Complex readers hump it or dump it? Let it be known after the jump:

hilarious! i love that everyone wants to dump it. personally, i’ve been looking at these scarves with a raised eyebrow and calling juelz an old russian woman for the last several months-since that first scarf’ed up Juelz interview. but hey, what do i know…

Dipset is over. The end of Harlem’s finest is everywhere you look.
The scarf is a symbol of mourning.
Make sense to anyone but me?

Please don’t waste time with these obvious Dipset D*riders. Look, if those uptown boys want to rock that look, fine, let them. We don’t get down like that - and no one divulges excellence with all that bad grammar & “hoodspeak.” By the way, it’s spelled “peon” & “past 10 years.” As for the Dip-Stans (including some of you idiots still rocking PINK, LOL) - get a life!

I like the head scarfs. It reminds me of the Moorish head garbs, with a hip hop swag. I’m not saying that was their intentions, but sometimes when the truth avails in us, we do things we can’t explain. Those that call themselves black or african american, must search deep inside themselves and their history, and realize what was taken from us and who we really are. Reclaim your identity. So I think the head scarves can be a start. If you don’t understand google moors, morish, even youtube it. Awaken!!

From a female perspective, I hump it. But I don’t hump copycats doing it… that’s just biting.
I blogged about it a few weeks back…

Everyone in “the Hood” be dressing like these fags. Any male so concerned with the newest thing to wear & wanting to look like the next bitch has obviously spent some time on the wrong side of a blow job.
Comment by fagBash — March 15, 2008 #

Comment by jon — March 15, 2008 #
It is different though, my homies used to do that with doo-rags back in the day, it’s funny how things recycle
Comment by KellEl — March 16, 2008 #
I think everyone on here is haters. The look is different and unique. I would rock it. Stop hating on cats because they found a way to hussle. Dip set, keeping coming with the new trends dog.

you’re a living and breathing contradiction. You’re on a style obsessed website talkin like you aint up on trends and styles. You think you’re above that shit? Who are you, the fucking oracle? Funny thing is how a scarf on some dudes head made you think about some dick. Im gay, i think about dick. (yeah yeah yeah “ayooo” or whatever.) YOU aint supposed to be thinking about dick and typing about it. Your post is very telling. Fagbash, you need more people.

when you see me in the back of the club wit my LV scarf sunk low smokin an L your gonna be all ova it… its not what we wear my scrublins its how we wear it… ping pow
Comment by Swag Splashin — March 19, 2008 #
what is going on with all this “HOOD” talk. What we have here are dudes who act like fashion and style are’nt apart of there lives. Fashion and style are what set each of us apart.So, fashion and style makes us gay. either, u cant dress and ur on here tryna find style or your just a bum ass guy who cant afford anything but the 5 for $20.oo white tees and footlocker… In my opion, the jimmy and juelz scarf over the head is a little crazy. Im into the whole scraves around neck and the crazy hats but that style i will not be copying… LOL Blow on that “fagBash”

I guess nobody remembers when Common did it years back when he was featured in the Black Star video. Get your hip hop up before giving the Dips all the credit.

First let me say these kats are biters too.
Or let’s say they appreciate style like others.
I can not even count how many kats from Phil-A TO D.C.
ROCK KIFAYA’S OR SHAMAYS before that went hipster stream. (20yrs) LOOK there are few of us out here who are just on top of the game. I’m definitely not big up’n these guys, but I will say remember these guys are clones as well.
Like My main man said check you history and sometimes you realize that you do stuff with out real thought you just do.
Stop and read a book before ferenheit 451 becomes a reality.

When is it cool for dudes to wear scarves like kimars like muslim women? Nothin’ wrong wit being fashionable but damn! Tight jeans, scarves, v-neck Ts, man purses and glittery belts? 1 more suspect trend and im gettin a passport and leaving the states.
Comment by 215Haze — April 21, 2008 #
anyone tryin to imitate this should really stop and think about wat theyre doing
Comment by E-MAN — May 22, 2008 #
I dig it, definately. Especially the LV scarfs. With the right outfit, definately adds a lot of fashionable class to the hood look that they got. It’s fresh, most definately.

Aww man all this hatting by the dollar t-shirt wearing mafukas, still rocking roc-a-wear, pepe jeans and that 90 early 2000 shit. Whoever said big t’s and oversized hats was a fucking trend or hot? Get ya 1’s up! Stop hatting, shit cost now days…$70-$100 on some jeans aint shit! I hated for the broads that kick it with these cold bumbs shopping at the dollar menu! And the symbolic jughead who said the scarf symbolizes mouring needs to be smack…LV scarf symbolizes $600 on the head! SPLASH
