As we can see here, Kanye’s been showing off his new man- bag collection on his blog. It’s like Kool Moe Dee meets Mariah Carey with a stop off at Imelda Marcos’ crib. Hip- Hop’s always been about being fly, no question. Kanye is fly, no question, but it seems an invisible line may have been crossed. We’re really not hating for hate’s sake but since when has hip-hop been about showing off your man- bags on blogs. We’re thinking a) the recent speculation that ‘Ye doesn’t write his own blog is true, it’s written by a crack team of girls to ensure he appeals to the female population who actually buy his his music. Let’s face it, guys download music for free and girls buy it because they’re too scared of getting caught. Ask John Gray. By the way he refutes this accusation here but regularly posting pictures of hot girls doesn’t fool anyone b) ‘Ye is gay c) ‘Ye is not gay, he just took Dapper Dan to the cleaners. Who needs fake Louis V when they pay you to wear it.
As yet we’re totally undecided until we see him carrying a lap dog, then it’s game over. Until then, democracy prevails so we’ll throw it out to you the public to decide.

Even obscure regional gangsta rappers like Mitchy Slick are posin’ with their L.V man bags and automatic weapons for their Myspace pix :

The inclusion of the gun in that picture leads you to believe that the bag contains a couple of kilos of coke, wads of banded up cash or perhaps more guns – all of which are perfectly acceptable to your average street *ahem* dwelling, hip-hop afficionado. Kanye’s SELECTION of bags suggest a more ‘winton-esque’ familiarity with his feminine side, which must be frowned upon.
Lesson one Kanye, bags are for guns, money or drugs – not embroidered hankies, little porcelain figurines and tampons.

I seem to remember him stated that he keeps his porn in those bags. And I watch porn, but to fill up a Louie duffel bag full of it sounds a little perverted.
Only LV I’ve ever had was a wallet. My girl has knockoffs/real ones of all those bags that ‘Ye had. It is kind of a shame…. A damn shame?
