Take Off That Monkey Suit!

There's a subtle but very big difference between someone who clearly belongs and someone who clearly doesn't. Well sometimes it's not so subtle. Hood niggas, for example, will often out themselves to non-hood people who will subsequently treat them like dirt because you can literally see they nigga ass a mile away. Why you ask? Well one reason plaguing our community, which must be stopped immediately, is what I'd like to call the....

NIGGA SUIT (n): suit which clearly identifies one as hood, country, ghetto, or as a coon. While fulfilling technical requirements for being a suit, this particular type is overly gawdy, flashy, loud, and fashionably outdated by an average of 35-90 years. Usually worn by an African-American male, usually too big for the wearer of the garment.

Where does one find a nigga suit? Usually at a black church, sadly. Lots of hood ass niggas dress up only when they gotta go to church, and they wanna be stylin' just like they do everywhere else. Only problem is, they still niggas with nigga sensibilities, and they wanna wear some nut ass checkered suit in colors God never intended to go together or maybe even be invented.


Pimps and preachers, sadly sometimes indistinguishable (see above), have been the main trendsetters in the nigga suit department. Niggas in these suits tend to look like '70s pimps or '20s gangsters. Unfortunately a problem arises when this nigga tries to get a real job, and goes to the interview in one of these Halloween costumes. Hilarity, comedy, and tragedy ensue.

White people wore these suits too, back in the 1920's when they carried tommy guns around and rebelled against prohibition. Now only the extremely unfashionable like Craig Sager of TNT basketball fame, and the inventor idea patent guy (whose target audience is niggas, mind you) would wear them:

KG: The fuck you got on, Craig?

Common symptoms of a nigga suit include overly-checkered patterns:


Or alligator shoes in colors the lord did not intend:



Other examples include anything Steve Harvey would wear...

Or Katt Williams.....





But is this nigga suit disease incurable? Absolutely not. Success story Jalen Rose came into the NBA at age 20 and looked like the ghetto Detroit nigga he was.

Now as an ESPN analyst, he's a grown ass man in a grown ass man suit.

Now that my Nappy Friends, is progress.
