The Importance Of Baseball Hats and Hip Hop

Have I been duped?

You recall, if you’ve read my introduction, the whole reason for me starting this experiment, and my friend with the Atlanta Braves baseball cap.  Right?

As I walk around my local neighborhoods in Brooklyn (Ft. Greene, Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Williamsburg…) I notice an increasing number of these Atlanta baseball hats among kids into hip hop.

I also see a lot of Yankees hats (ok, fair enough) White Sox hats (Dr. Dre anyone?) and Nationals hats (what?)

Are any of these guys really into these baseball teams? 

Dr. Dre, Easy-E and Ice Cube are legendary rappers who sported the Sox caps back in the early 90’s.  They’re Straight Outta Compton right? Not Chicago.

I asked a friend of mine (who grew up on hip hop) what the symbolism of these White Sox hats was or is.  He said it represents the “south side”.  Okay, I guess?

I’ve done some research and apparently The Nationals hats and Yankees hats are made in colors that can represent an “individuals” devotion to his gang.  The obvious Bloods and Crips colors.  Apparently a recent sting at a store in Bushwick revealed that an employee was pushing hats and shirts on kids telling them which gang they represented.  “If you weren’t a blood before you are now!”  You know, things like that.

So what’s up with the Atlanta hats?

I found these pictures of Ludacris and Dolla (poor guy died at the age of 21).

Comin’ with more hits than the Braves and the Yankees

So when I was at Citifield a few weeks ago to see The Mets with Rookiemetsfan,  Johan Santana came up to the pitchers mound to pitch his first pitch and the awful song “Smooth” by Santana blared through the stadium. Aside from that being extremely lame that song also really sucks.  

The Wu-Tang Clan’s “Clan In Da Front” would be a good pitcher song.  I think The Twins should consider this when they come to NY to pummel the Mets and the Yankees.

“How ya sound B? You’re better off a quitter,

I’m on the mound G, and it’s a no-hitter,

And my DJ the catcher, he’s my man ,

Anyway he’s the one who devised the plan,

He throws the signs I hook up the beats with clout,

I throw the rhymes to the mic and I strike em out,

So it really doesn’t matter on how you intrigue,

You can’t fuck with those in the major leagues”

Oh and The Twins won tonight!

The Twins are The BEST team ever!
