they dont go hand in hand, but for an example ..a basketball throw back jersey is well known to be worn by a rapper or someone living the hip hop culture.

Our elders of today,who dont acftually undertsand a fucking thing about our culture,see it all as the saem thing. there is no diffrence between clothing styles from basketball to the "iresponsible youth" they see in rap music videos. Our elders are closed minded. So to them they are one int he saem, but to us, actually living the life. We understand the big diffrence.
