Is it cool for guys to wear tight jeans?

The Cool Kids
Evan “Chuck Inglish” Ingersoll, 23, and Antoine “Mikey Rocks” Reed, 19, known as The Cool Kids, recently gave an interview to Toshi Kondo @ Rhapsody about, amongst other things, the video for their track “Black Mags”.
One of the first things that stuck out about the video were how tight Mikey’s jeans were.
Chuck: “We’ve heard that shit so many times.” [Laughs].
Mikey: “Yeah, it’s more or less a shocker because I’m black. A lot of other ethnic groups rock tight jeans. It wasn’t really anything new to me. I guess people didn’t know what to think. It’s just a weird first impression for some people. I sometimes forget that there’s a whole rest of the world that doesn’t live in a city.”
Chuck: “You get those people that are like, Oh, this video sucks ‘cause the dude’s pants are tight.”
Is there still a strong sentiment out there against guys wearing tight jeans?

February 11th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Tight Jeans, hell naw. I like jeans that aren’t really baggy, but i still have room to move in.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
i would have to say if the man is sexy he can wear the fitted one’s but if yo gutt hangs ova the pants and you have big, huge cahonas then hells nawl. that is so disgusting to see a man in tight pants and you can actually see his member gasping for air!!! fitted yall, not painted on pants, what you trying to be a woman?
February 11th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Tights Pants fi get bun!!! man shudn’t where dem!! let it 2 the gyal dem
February 11th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Guys should not wear tight skinny fitted looking jeans. Ir;s so absurd. Leave it the ladies. It’s crazy cause I see so many people rocking it these days with their chains & it’s so wack. Be yourself and carry your own style.
February 11th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Heeelllllllllllllllll No!!!, Baggy fit jeans only
February 11th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Baggy and fitted yeah but tight hell naw.

I think boys should wear what they want to wear cause us gurls wear what we want to wear cause if a gurl wants to wear baggy pants then she can if a boy wants to then he can but i perfer boys to wear baggy pants it makes them look sexy

Tight jeans are very uncomfortable and no room to breath
February 11th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
you can only have three reasons for rockin’ tight pants if you a fella
1. you got the azz for it
2. if you a shatta
3. if you gay
pick one………..lolz
February 11th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
They still can be fitted but in a looser fit.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Yeah i rock fitted jeans. But not skinny jeans, or girls jeans you cant even move in them and its kinda fruity. The style thats in right now is wearing what fits your body. Don’t go to the extreme either way not to skinny or not to extra baggy.
February 11th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
depends on style and figure.
February 11th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
I think guys look sexy in fitted pants…a little baggy but not too loose. But not so tight that you can see their bulge..lol. Its not hot…even I don’t like my jeans really really tight..and I’m a female
February 11th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
i want my **** **** to breath
February 11th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
jeans and what else? can’t wear tight jeans and a pink muscle shirt!!!! come with one of those screened tee’s and a nice chain with some fresh sneaks then cool!!!!!!!!!
February 11th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
**** is mad gay along with this whole tight fad
u dont have to have excess baggy but dont have that **** hugging ur nipples
February 11th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
fitted jeans are cool (slightly loose/baggy). tight jeans aren’t my thing though. but people are gonna wear what they wanna wear.
February 12th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Yo for starters , tell me how this dude peddles with them tight ass jeans on ??!?
February 12th, 2008 at 4:12 am
tight jeans- my balls begin to hurt
February 12th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Y34 I W34R TIGHT J34NZ ALL DAH TYME AND DEY COMFORTABLE
February 12th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Yo anybody heard from WILL973?????? YO holla at me WILL973!!!!!!!
February 12th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
some of my pants are tight when at my waist but they cool when saggin
February 12th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
HELL NO I THINK IF YOU WANT TO WEAR TIGHT PANTS LIKE A GIRL THEN U MUST WANT TO BE A GIRL. IF YOU GET LOCKED UP AND GO TO PRISON AND THEY SEE YOU IN THEM TIGHT BUTT JEANS I BET THEY WILL MAKE YOU INTO THEIR GIRL FRIEND. WHAT IS THE POINT OF WEARING TIGHT BUTT JEANS WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO SHOW OFF YOUR BUTT? NO THATS WHAT GIRLS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. BE A MAN AND PUT ON SOME JEANS THAT DON’T MAKE YOUR BALLS HURT. STOP WEARING THE TIGHT JEANS UNLESS YOU ARE GAY.
February 12th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
STOP BEING GAY. I’M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS NEW TREND AMONGST YOUNG BLACK MEN. IT’S A DAMN SHAME THAT FOR HALF OF US YOU CAN’T TELL WHO’S GAY AND WHO’S NOT. IF YOU WEAR THEM TIGHT BUTT JEANS I THINK YOU ARE GAY. I’M TIRED SEEING BLACK MEN PRANCING AROUND LIKE LITTLE FAIRIES. STOP THAT BULLISH. YOUR ANCESTORS WOULD BE DISAPOINTED. BLACK MEN SHOULD HAVE A DEMEANOR OF DOMINANCE AND FORTITUDE AND NOT SOME O’L FAGGIE BULL ISH.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
i hate tight jeans cuz my pelvis feels like its be scratched thru a cheese grater and im white and i prefer baggy jeans cuz u atleast u can move without ur ballz itchin… yea its true im the first crackerjack to wear baggy jeans and not tight ones
February 12th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
I think if you can’t squat without having it being uncomfortable, your jeans are too tight. I say fitted for skinny guys and for other guys on the straight/loose/baggy style.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
na fitted jeans is cool but tight jeans doesn not look right.
February 12th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
I agree Tight Teans Hell NO!!! Fitted jeans now that is sexy on a guy who knows how to dress it right!!! I don’t know who gave out the Memo that tight jeans are cool! Newsflash!! I’m sorry that is not sexy!! Especially if your boy is a skinney dude!! That is just Urgh!
February 12th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Word up playa fly! I am not likin the way mens fashion (urban) fashion is headed…..stop the bull**** with the loud ass 80s bright tacky stuff, the ball huggin jeans aint cute either, Im kinda through with the rockstar s*** on guys too….you jus gotta let sum trends pass you by I dont care if all ur lil b-boy friends rockin that s*** MAN UP and come wit a g swagga any girl that likes her man in that stuff aint a real woman!
February 13th, 2008 at 8:54 am
I guess it would depend what you consider tight! I think that Bon Jovi’s pants are kinda tight but he does have a fine a$$ to rock it! My thing is if you packing, let it be known and let those tight a$$ jeans conform to the shape of your **** and buttocks. If you’re lacking then please do me and yourself a favor and continue to wear those baggy jeans! I’m just waiting for someone to actually start the new trend of the “Let em’ out jeans”, just to see if any man would actually wear them!
February 13th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
in the end u gotta wear fitted if u rockin some mad kicks. for the fellaz with real swagga…we rockin these. bagga…hmmm only when im wearin Timbs. any other shoez look stupid when im wearin baggy jeans…the damn jeans cover them up. peace
February 13th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Lets stop with all this swagger jagging. first off the tight jeans look is so played out stop bring back the 80’s . its assume that we are in a new era and everyone is trying to bring back old styles that has been done..TIME FOR AN UPGRADE everybody…and second most of you guys on this are madd young and dont know nothing about these times and gear that was out so stop swagger jagging its horrible
February 13th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
only reason for tight would be to show off the package.
February 13th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Tight jeans are definantly NOT HOT! But I like it when a guy wears LOOSE jeans, not to baggy and not too tight.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Okay I’m from Australia and I thought only the sad-case men in this country wore tight-ass jeans! IT IS DEFINITELY WRONG! No MAN should be on the edge of his bed, lying back struggling to pull his jeans on- can’t everyone see that there is something wrong with that image?
February 13th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
everyone needs to stop hatin on peoples style. if you dont like tight pants…don’t wear em. let them do their look and you do your own look. I personly wear skinny jeans, but their not skin tight
February 13th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
I agree with jay-31. If it’s not your style, don’t wear it. I mean, I know dudes that’s white, black, asian, and indian that rock skinny jeans. I don’t like ‘em, mostly ’cause I was raised around having breathing space, but I don’t hate on folks that like them. Hell, I love track jackets. A bunch of folks I know can’t stand them ’cause they don’t have hoods, and that’s the thing down here in Tennesse right now. But there’s no point in hating on someone’s style, ’cause I doubt they’re gonna change it just ’cause of you.
February 13th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Also, I don’t see how wearing skinny jeans makes you gay. I mean, really, y’all need to chill out with that homophobia. Everyone keeps saying it’s a new era, but damn y’all talk like it’s still the 80s. I mean, damn, I bet half the people you see walking around with baggy jeans and shirts with “****” and “hoe” on them get d*cked in the butt more than folks rocking skinny jeans. And even if they are, what’s the problem? The only reason I bet half of you have a problem with homosexuality is cause a) you think it’s cool to hate them because you heard some rapper say it or b) have never met one and just decided they’re bad for whatever bull**** reason.
February 13th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
I PREFER THE FITTED JEANS SHYT WHEN I PUT ON TIGHT JEANS AS A WOMEN I COULD HARDLY BREATH SO FOR A GUY HELL NAW
February 14th, 2008 at 3:09 am

February 14th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
If dudez wanna wear tight jeans dey kan do as dey pleaze
February 15th, 2008 at 2:18 am
TIGHT JEANS ARE NOT COOL AT ALL LEAVE THEM FOR THE FEMALES
February 15th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I don’t like to see guys in tight jeans.There are too many down low men these days. It may look ok on a selected few but come on what doyou think. Not asking for men to wear very baggy jeans but leave the tights for the ladies.

its not cool for guys to were tight azz jeans ,because it dont look right and if another guy sees a another guy from the back he might think its a girl
February 18th, 2008 at 6:38 am

February 18th, 2008 at 9:18 am

February 19th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Fit is good, if you not tryin to look like a wanna be thug-wack ass rapper-no money having-weed smoking-no girl gettin ass n!99a lol.
For real, tight is OUT save it for the emo kids like DJ Beat said. BUT OVERLY-BAGGY is not all that great lookin as you think… Look good, not trashy!
February 20th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Fitted jeans are cool, tight nut huggin jeans are not whats in
February 20th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Personally, as long as a guy’s pants are hanging down and showing his butt, it is handsome to me. Tight jeans are just to gay, but buying the right size and NOT 3 sizes too big is the best way (unless they were the only pair on sale lol).
February 20th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
^I REALLY MEANT : Personally, as long as a guy’s pants are NOT hanging down and showing his butt, it is handsome to me. Tight jeans are just nasty, but buying the right size and NOT 3 sizes too big is the best way (unless they were the only pair on sale lol).
February 21st, 2008 at 2:52 pm
ehh hell na, i rather see a dude rockin jeans saggin down his culo,lol sorry guys but stick 2 the baggy jeans that atleast sag a little u know,lol shyt i think a thuggish lookin dude with baggy jeans looks alot sexier,maybe its just me but let em sag a lil guys!!
February 21st, 2008 at 6:11 pm
fitted jeans, yes. tight jeans to the point where each ball is struggling to breathe, hell no. doesnt matter what race you are.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Tight just ain’t right I hate to see a nice looking man in some tight jeans that’s for lames, just because jim jones is doing doesn’t make it right, I taught that chain belts and tight jeans were for gayboys.
February 22nd, 2008 at 2:17 pm
ITS NOT ABOUT THE JEANS PEOPLE ONCE AGIAIN ITS ABOUT YA FOOT WEAR
i feel like if ya pants dont fall right over ya kicks it ****s the whole outfit up. if ya jeans are too baggy it drowns ya kicks out and if ya jeans dont fall ova ya kicks at all and you got tuck em in well dat ****s it up too.
to end the argument you have to know what jeans go wit what FOOT WEAR skinny pants do not go well with urban kicks (tims, acgs’ uptowns ect…) get some loafers or a casual dress shoe and see how that works fa you and baggy jeans goes well wit boots (6in tims)but if ya jeans are so baggy that they drown out ya boots maybe you should bring it down a couple sizes.
you ma ****as should really be paying for this type of advice but i love my people so i give it to ya for free.99
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:25 pm
if dey wan to but like i saaid dey should leave that to tha jamaican shottas dem
jamaican pllz stand up
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:40 pm
tight jeans are not so great to wear but i think fitted jeans are better for men to wear, and they should still leave some breathing room.
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:09 pm
i dont want my balls in my pockets and I definitely dont want people lookin at my ass like that, plus that **** cuts off circulation to your lower population.
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:02 pm
HELLS NO fitted jeans are ok i wouldn’t get caught dead wit dem TIGHT A*SS PANTS ON
MY sack n ish has to breath iight
February 23rd, 2008 at 8:50 pm
They still cool either way. Tight jeans are not that big of a deal. But anyway anybody heard of somebody named Amory king alot of my friends know about him being some rich kid who kick it with famous ppl. Hes allegedly from the MLK clan and his gear is off da chain definately a fashion icon.
February 23rd, 2008 at 10:32 pm
ive heard if Amory he got a lot of paper supposedly and he know alot of scenester kids in l.a and new york. I think he friends wit the Cool Kids matter of fact. I saw pix of his clothes and yea he flyyyyy!!!!!
February 25th, 2008 at 10:10 am
What’s up yall!!! well yea I know Amory, thats my friend!!!! Well cool kids yall dat **** and yall cool as hell too!!! well thats all I have to say 4 now!!!!!!
February 28th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
it depends on how they wear it an what they wear it with some guys look nice n some look JUST GAY but on regular days nooo not all dudes
March 14th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Damn well everyone has there own opinions. I dont wear them personally. I mean i have a couple pair of jeans that are made to be fitted but baggy fitted ya dig?. they’re jus tight on my azz not so much on the leg and deff not on the ankle. I mean i do got a phatty for them. I hear it from mad chicks. I deff be havin niggs and chicks tryna peep. but whatever besides that. thats where most clothing lines are headed. thats the “in” look. Yea i agree. Leave it 2 da Shattas. Personally i dont like 2 see dudes in no tight azz jeans like the dude in the video. Have any of you seen it. i mean damn. You do want ur cohonas 2 breath. Seein ya playboy in some ballin shorts or sweat pants is koo wit me. But in jeans its uncommon and deff not a good look. Its almost like they’re tryin to show a lil sumthin sumthin ya dig?
March 23rd, 2008 at 8:04 pm
he bikes, thats the style for bikers
they dont want their pants gettin all caught in the chain and s***
plus who the f*** cares
April 8th, 2008 at 5:43 am
Yeah i’d say who the hell cares i’m over the whole tight clothes thing. It has nothing to do with ethnicity. Guys just shouldn’t wear tight azz jeans. I mean damn if my balls cringe at the site of you wearing them then you should be in pain. Especially doing hiphop. Don’t try and make it contravershal. There’s a difference between doing it to do it and doing it cause you want to.
Plus look how man hip hop/r&b artists been/are wearing a tight clothes. prince, pharell, kanye, lupe etc etc to. Who cares after the 15min of fame the gimmick will wear off and your music will haft to speak for itself.
April 9th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
I hate all these ****in trends… people should try to be different and have their own style if dudes wanna wear tight azz jean they shouldn’t b looked at as bein gay u kno?? They just doin them so leave them alone
June 20th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
Well, Im from da south [Atl to be exact]
N I can HONESTLY SAY
I aint NEVA seen no ngga down here wearin no tight jeans…
IDK
June 20th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
I do like them though cuz they got style [sans the tight jeans]
I mean, yo shyt aint gotta be down by yo thighs n shyt,
they can have just have a very loose fit..I LIKE DAT!
August 12th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
“Save the tight pants for the ladies fellas’….if I can count the coins in your pocket, you’d better use them to call a taylor”
