Swagga Like Kanye
Los Angeles - Kanye West refuses to stop wearing tight jeans. The US rapper - who has his own clothing line - will not be forced into wearing a "hip-hop uniform" by people who tease him about his style choices.
"The whole baggy jeans versus tight jeans thing - Run DMC, Fat Boys, they wore tight jeans with gyms shoes and that was hip-hop. Then people started wearing big jeans and that was supposed to be hip-hop," he said.
"When I first did big jeans, people said that was 'skater'. Now you think 'skater' and that's super-tight jeans. They keep trying to label me but the labels won't stick."
Kanye believes it is a person's attitude which makes them a true star, and insists he is the most "hip-hop" person on the planet because he refuses to be pigeonholed. "I see a lot of people wearing the exact same uniform and there's nothing wrong with that. But at what point did hip-hop get so many rules? Hip-hop was about breaking rules," he told MTV.
"I'm one of the most hip-hop people on earth because I say and do exactly what the fuck I wanna do and say.
"The backlash I get now for dressing the way I dress or saying what I say or making music I do - that's the same backlash I got in high school for being hip-hop. I was always two steps ahead and I thought that was what hip-hop was."

Chris Brown Goes Beast Mode
LOS ANGELES -- The only Grammy Awards anxiety Chris Brown was supposed to feel was over whether he'd win one. Instead, the R&B singer remains mired in suspicion over an allegation of domestic violence.Following Brown's arrest late Sunday night on suspicion of making a criminal threat and subsequent release, plenty ofquestions remained: Was there a physical attack, and if so, against whom was it committed? Los Angeles Police Sgt. Bridget Pickett said authorities continued to investigate what took place early Sunday in the ritzy Hancock Park neighborhood shortly after Brown and longtime girlfriend, pop superstar Rihanna, were seen happily sitting together at the annual pre-Grammy party hosted by Clive Davis.Officers received a 911 call about an incident in which a woman accused Brown of hurting her. Authorities have not identified who that woman was, citing confidentiality for victims of domestic abuse.The 19-year-old Brown, who had left the scene before authorities arrived, turned himself in to police while the Grammy Awards were going on Sunday without him -- and also without Rihanna, who, like Brown, canceled her scheduled appearance.Brown was released after posting $50,000 bail. Pickett described the singer as "professional" during processing.Rihanna's publicist declined to say why the singer did not appear, saying only that she was "well" and expressing thanks forthe concern. Brown's representatives also refused to discuss the allegations or his arrest.A phone message left with Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, was not immediately returned Sunday night.News of the incident broke as stars were showing up at the Grammys. Police said in an initial news release, sent 90 minutes before the show began, that the woman accusing Brown showed visible injuries.Still, Brown was not booked on suspicion of physically hurting the woman. Pickett said a criminal threats charge indicates aperson makes a threat and has the capacity to carry it out."There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney's office," Pickett said.Less than an hour after the ceremony ended, Brown left a police substation with his attorney as numerous photographers tried to geta shot of him on the way out.Pickett said Brown did not appear to have any physical injuries.She said she did not know who placed the 911 call and a police spokeswoman said the department would not release the tape.Brown did not win in either category for which he was nominated:pop collaboration with vocals for "No Air" and male R&B vocalperformance for "Take You Down."
