I might get myself in trouble for this one, but for today's column, I had to say something about the ri-damn-diculous rap that has taken over the mainstream.  Though I've questioned Bill Cosby's desire to make a rap album in the past, I can now see where he is coming from as the rise of the Gucci Mane and co. continue.  Do weigh in on the issue, I can take it.  With no further ado, I give you today's Kyles Files topic.
Rap fans, the war for your immortal souls has begun.
On Nov. 24, Bill Cosby officially releases "The Cosnarati: State of Emergency," a rap compilation bereft of misogyny, materialism and the "n-word."
Approximately two weeks later, Gucci Mane will unleash his first studio album, "The State Vs. Radric Davis."
The two albums are on opposite sides of the spit-kicker spectrum.
Cosby, who does not rap on the album, presents us with a handful of no-name MCs. The result is an occasionally heavy-handed, but good-hearted, treatise on the tribulations of street violence, the importance of strong parents and the necessity of respecting women.
Gucci, on the other hand, presents us with popularity for all the wrong reasons. In fact, he is currently grounded in his home state of Georgia due to legal woes, according to The Associated Press. And unless the bandana-bearer's album represents a total departure from his current persona, Gucci's drug references, rampant materialism, brushes with the law and speak-and-spell rhymes make him a poster child for what ails mainstream rap.
So which will you support--the mindless or the meaningful?

Why not both? Because the industry has evolved--for the worse.
I grew up listening to a balance of rap music. It was easy to admire the "street knowledge" of NWA, alongside the bass-shaking of 2 Live Crew and edutainment of KRS-One. Sometimes you could find it all in one effort.
Case in point: Ice Cube's classic "Death Certificate," which meshed the streets, sex and politics in one prolific package. But today is different. If Cube dropped "Certificate" now, my guess is it would be dead on arrival, unless he snared a couple of cameos from OJ da Juiceman.
Mainstream music is so far over the line in the negative direction that you can't balance musical tastes without extra-special effort.  Just try and avoid hearing the infectious, but insipid, "Wasted" from Gucci or the embarrassment that is "Becky," courtesy of Plies.
You couldn't even catch a break from the Terrible Trio--Gucci, Plies and Soulja Boy Tell 'Em--during BET's most recent Hip Hop Awards.
The MCs of the moment so dominated the program that it could have been mistaken for a concert. It was telling TV.
And as a rap consumer, I'm willing to fight to get music airplay back in balance. It could be mere coincidence that Gucci and Cosby will clash on store shelves.
But if it is a message from the MC cosmos, I want to send the right message back.
I choose Cosby's form of expression over Gucci's self-destructive one any day. Here's hoping my fellow hip-hop heads will do the same.

Gucci was founded in 1921 by Guccio Gucci. In 1938, Gucci expanded and a boutique was opened in Rome. Guccio was responsible for designing many of the company's products. In 1947, Gucci introduced the bamboo handle handbag, which is still a company mainstay. During the 1950s, Gucci also developed the trademark striped webbing, which was derived from the saddle girth, and the suede moccasin with a metal horsebit. His wife Aida Calvelli had a large family, though only the sons—Vasco, Aldo, Ugo, and Rodolfo—would play a role in leading the company. After Guccio's death in 1953, Aldo helped lead the company to a position of International prominence, opening the company’s first boutique in New York. Rodolfo initially tried to start an acting career as a matinee idol but soon returned to help direct the company. Even in Gucci’s fledgling years, the family was notorious for its ferocious infighting. Disputes regarding inheritances, stock holdings, and day-to-day operations of the stores often divided the family and led to alliances. Gucci expanded overseas, board meetings about the company’s future often ended with tempers flaring and luggage and purses flying. Gucci targeted the Far East for further expansion in the late 1960s, opening stores in Hong Kong and Tokyo. At that time, the company also developed its famous GG logo (Guccio Gucci's initials), the Flora silk scarf (worn prominently by Hollywood actress Grace Kelly), and the Jackie O shoulder bag, made famous by Jackie Kennedy, the wife of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

It’s true. Guys often have it easier than girls. If you do not have the money to pay gucci shirt Vibskov prices, I recommend sizing up one or two sizes. Any flannel will do. It’s that simple. Now here comes the fun part – finishing the look! My number one style tip is gucci shirt. If  you’re going to do oversized, you’ll need tapered/skinny jeans.
To complete the look, layering is encouraged. The more layers you can accomplish without looking or feeling heavy, the better. An excellent and easy layer example would be to leave the gucci shirt unbuttoned and worn over a tee. On top of the button-down, wear a thin gucci shirt buttoned vest; think sleeveless cardigan. B.Son offers the perfect vest. To top it off, add a scarf in a solid color or subtle pattern. When pairing multiple patterns, pick one bold pattern and one subtle pattern. Link the patterns with a dominant color. For gucci shirt, I recommend a pair of TOMS or Converse.
