Swagger Like.....??


Okay so everyone nowadays seems to be so concerned with the term "swagger". It is always a debate on who has swag, who has more swag and so on and so on. There are so many MySpace and FaceBook names with the word "swagger" not to mention songs and albums that the entire entertainment industry is on a "swag" craze. [i.e. Swag Splashing--you're done]

Now, the "Paper Planes" single by M.I.A. was hot, not gonna lie and the sample that T.I. took and he, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Kanye spit over was hot.

But, before I start, lets think about this...not everyone can be on a song that is only 3 or so minutes long, right?

Of course not. So now, since only the afore mentioned brothers were on the track that T.I. released, of course it is only right to start some un-important "swag beef." It seems like dudes are really feeling "some kind of way" for not being asked to be on the original version.

So far, Diddy has released a hilarious track called "Swagger Life Puff" which, actually isn't really that far off being that Sean John Combs is one of the biggest "Swag Splashers" to date. Don't front--Diddy is FLY.

However, now there is a Part 2 being re-released by Jay-Z for the Blueprint 3 featuring Young Jeezy, Andre 3000 and Nas.

Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Lil Wayne have teamed up to do a remix called "Jackin Swagger From Us". This song is supposed to be 'dissing' Jay-Z and T.I. (nice try Jimmy). And now there is some kind of beef between T.I. and Byrd Gang for not including One Eyed Capo on the original line-up. Sex. You're done. Jim Jones has swagg but his swagg is definitely not up to par with Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z or T.I. And not to mention, but why is Lil Wayne even on this track AGAIN when he was on the original?!? Lil Wayne you have swag. We get it.

And you already know that the world of R&B is not too far behind this. So far your boy Trey Songz has released a track and also titled one of his mixtapes "Swagger Like Songz".

And LAST but not LEAST, Neyo, Chris Brown, T-Pain, Usher are releasing a "Swagger Like Us" the R&B edition.

What I don't understand is, what exactly is swagger? I've tried to Google it and look it up and none of the definitions seemed to make sense to me. Who do you think has the most swagg? Are there different types of swagg? Does everyone have swag in their own special way? Does NO ONE from the West Coast have swag?

Idk...but until then, stay tuned to the "Swagger Chronicles".

...the swagger continues...
