I love it when these different cliques get their lexicon, fan favorites, clothing styles, etc. "To be an okayplayer, you must wear che t-shirts, read A People's History of The United States and listen to the Roots (of course!!), Talib Kweli and Jill Scott. Any listening to Jay-Z, Camron, Snoop Dogg or their ilk will result in three demerits..."
To quote Jay "First album niggaz love me cause they thought I was poor, Guess I'm successful; industry don't love me no more
Well I'm the same nigga from your corner, bubblin raw
Skully tilted, pants saggin, damn near touchin the floor
And I come with do-rags to your so-called awards
T-shirt with my chain out like fuck y'all all".

Come on, let's not have a dress code to be an okayplayer--let cats stand on their own merit.
