Kanye West, currently up for eight Grammy nominations for Graduation, has pretty much been anointed one of the greatest hip-hop style icons ever.

What we want to know is, how many people do you know who really dress like him?

    kanye is definitely a style icon. for those of you who say its gay, yall are just hatin’ on him. yea, some of the things he wears are out of the box, but he’s a superstar, its his job to be noticed whether good or bad. Everybody is right though, about how the style has been out for a while, like they said kanye made it cool. Women love the clean look, trust me on this. nobody wants a guy dressin like lames like souljah boy, lil boosie and whatnot or a wannabe thug. kanye is the freshest dude around, end of story.

  • Teee says:

    i rock that shiit, includein all the exclusives

  • Mik3 says:

    [m2resles] hahahahah your madd funny but its true doe fat dudes dnt even try dat ish

  • realness says:

    time comes with change and change comes with time.
    Kanye dresses like gay men have dressed for years.
    its just because he is a celeb that it is getting more notice.
    now everyone wants to dress in that gay style.
    QUEER MAKE-OVERS FOR EVERYONE!!
    u down?
    stop making excuses and live with it.
    lets change hip hop baggy look to the tight gay look and party like a rock star…
    thats means everything goes,,,,wink wink….

  • r.i.p. pimp c says:

  • Covahboy says:

    Yo I think his style is MAD fly yo…And mos def I dress like him yo, but don’t do tha tite shirts or skinny jeans..!

  • Magellan says:

    I quit rockin the baggy jeans, and rock straight leg now but not skinny jeans fuk that s***. As for Kanye his style is coo cuz he makes it his own. But Im not down with the bandanas and that shirt is a little to small for my tastes. But I am tired of all these ****s with the 3xl tall tees and size 44 extra baggy jeans, but if thats yo style and you gettin Puss like that – then go head on! Cuz all men know they dress whatever style they think gonna attract the most females.

  • S.Copasetik says:

    Only lame a$$ people. because nobody was tryna do it before they seen Kanye do it!!! Its PATHETIC!! It looks good on Kanye and thats how i expect to see him dress. but its real lame how everybody wear a little shirt and some tight jeans wit a bandana whereas they wouldnt have before Kanye made it cool. Also people need to stop copying lil wayne style too!

  • Whitney says:

    chris brown’s new style kinda resemble’s his

  • bebe says:

    boys in the est coast dress like that now b/c thts how rappers in the 80′s use to dress.the east coast is just tryin 2 bring back the 80′s thats wat my friend frm brooklyn told me so its not gay.

  • big rick says:

    It’s sad because up here in N.Y. all the young dudes is dressing like Kanye. I’m from Brooklyn and I’m only 19 but I don’t like the new style. Because there is not one. you can basically put on anything that squeezes your body and it is the new fashion. Fitted cloths is cool but skin tight cloths ain’t. I’m feeling Harlem’s music but the fashion ain’t exactly my style. I’m gonna leave that to the high schoolers.

  • hermann says:

    never dress like this punk ..s

  • deimudder says:

    man…
    if he likes what he wears then its ok but if he’ wearin this tight shirts just to “wear the newest stuff” then he is really gay (in the way of not having any self-confidence and identity). Many dudes around my area rockin Ed Hardy and just wear it because its “in”. -> G-A-Y

    I wear Rocawear, Kani, Lrg, whatsoever because I LIKE IT.
    Everybody whos got problem with it should go f*** himself.

    PS: If they are any mistakes in my text dont blame me, blame the bad school-english in german schools :-D

  • Team-Nati says:

    Now I come from CINCINNATI w=and we some fresh ass ****s. Now we have a lot of white people in da NAti and da lame black dudes dat only hung wit da white folks dress like this. I say kanye have no swag or style cuz he only wears that expensive **** you suppose to look like a million bucks. but when you rock a white T and look like a million bucks dats when you see a **** real Swag. and dem rappers turnin into punk rockers are Gay this include Jim Jones( Whole Dipset) Little Wayne etc.

  • Team-Nati says:

    I know I be cleaner than the board of Health in my baggy jeans dat sag off my ass(just a little) not like Little Wayne(ridiculous) wife beater and my 4x shirt. **** If yo girl can fit yo clothes DAT MEANS YOU **** MADE WIT **** WAYS dats make you less of a man SO YOUR GAY!!!!!!

  • Destro says:

    To those that say Kanye’s style is gay, you must also think that Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Whodini, Just Ice, Curtis Blow, and even Run DMC are gay. These people made the game what it is today, and they weren’t rockin their gear 4-times too big. Sheeit… even LL and Slick Rock pimped the hell out of that style back in the day, and I swear none of yall will ever call any of them gay.

    Me, I dropped the baggy style when I graduated High School (and that’s where the style belongs, if you ask me). What would a grown-ass man look like sportin 4XL jeans and a t shirt or throwback so big it looks like a summer dress???

    I find that most women (the one’s worth getting with, at least) prefer a man who has an original sense of style, and doesn’t just go out looking like every other wannabee imitator.

    And the fact that everybody is talking about Kanye’s style right now just proves that what he’s doing is working. The whole point of it is get as much attention for himself as possible, and sell more records. His image is the most valuable right now.

    P.S.: the bandana is not gay. That came from the Palestinian (and other eastern hemisphere) protesters who would cover their faces with scarves and bandanas when doin their thing. Rising up in the struggle is something these thug wannabees and wankstas would know nothing about… all they can be bothered to worry about is how many X’s their next pair of jeans should have and how many innocent bystanders they plan to shoot up in a $5 dollar beef with Mookie.

  • Dat~bo$$~Shit says:

    Kanye still fly i don’t give f*** wat nobody say. It’s different and when sh** is different some ppl can’t understand it cuz dey prbbly got a simple ass style.

  • Rosie Palm and her five sisters says:

    somebody i sho as hell dont wanna be seen with especially because if i was seen with kanye himself i kno damn well i would never get another piece of female action

  • Rosie Palm and her five sisters says:

    and one more damn thing fo all the men who support black men wearing tight clothes i see right now yall aint never gonna get any goddamn this **** cracks me the **** up

  • *Myr* says:

    Too many damn ppl B.K.A. Kanyes lil wannabes but it’s cute thou as long as you rockn it da right way.

  • bebe says:

    shut tha **** up yall his clothes ante even thaat tight

  • BOBBY says:

    IT LOOKS BETTER THEN WALKING AROUND WITH A 6X SHIRT AND SOME SHORTS THAT LOOK LIKE PANTS!!

  • B says:

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO HIS STYLE IT IS SHOOT WITH A 9MM!..SRRY KANYE BUT YOU NEED A FASHION DESIGN, THAT CAN FIX YOU UP A LOT A BIT! :(

  • Forceman says:

    tha brands that kanye wears are raw but he just cant rock them as hard as 50 can kanyes music sux stop listening to him and get with 50 hes rawer fresher

  • Forceman says:

    u can still be as fresh as me like i rock some forces or j’s with a white tee new era fitted and some south pole jeans and thats still fresher then kanye

  • Jay says:

    southpole jeans??? who wears southpole??

  • miss ladyy says:

    i would greatly prefer that style over long ass tees, and jeans sagging down to the knees. ew. But just not TOO tight; cuz thats not right =/
    bottom line: Wear Clothes That Fit.

  • ATLilovecousins says:

    This style is cool, I like it. I’m a girl so not for me, but in the area where I live (Buckhead) I see quite a few people (Guys) dressing like this, alot of them go to my private school..LV Bandanas and the shades r awesome.

  • Chase Sanders says:

    Again i’ma comment again my girl “miss lady” said it right. “wear clothes that fit your body type” end of story.

  • Jesse says:

    I am also a female so the looks just not for me… but for those who would like to find a sense of style I see many people in California with Rich Taste wearing the brand with the name that fits.
    Check here for some latest fashions in fine clothing, classy, rare attire!

    cuz you and i know he’s number one

  • LOUIS GOOEY says:

    WELL PERSONALLY I DRESS LIKE THAT AND I CAN TELL YOU WEAR HE GETS HIS CLOTHES FROM COZ I HAVE THEM AS WELL LOL
    AND THEY ARNT EXCLUSIVE AT ALL
    AND I HAV TO SAY IT IS BETTER THAN WAT EMINEM WEARS I MEAN HE IS SMART AND CLEAN CUT BUT EMINEM JUST LOOKS LIKE YOUR EVRYDAY WANNABEE GANGSTA.

  • London Boy says:

    I hate to say it… but Americans are late with this style… Don’t get me wrong Kanye gets props for his fashion sense…but he’s not doing anything out of the ordinary…that us europeans been doing for years…when we were wearing Italian designers you guys were still bussing fubu and karl kani. However I’m not saying I’ve never liked or worn any street wear before or else i’d be a hypocrite…I also like to switch it up a bit…but I’ve never understood the XXXL Tees that fall down below the knee :>

    But most men in the UK and europe been rockin straight/regular cut jeans for many many years… I have relatives in NY and remember years ago they would mock us when they saw us in our regular cut jeans and correct fitted tees… but looking at my male cousins now…they be trying to lose the 4XL tees that look like dresses (now tell me whats more gay??) and extreme baggy cut jeans and instead starting to rock cleaner cut clothes i.e. Kanye…lol even down to the suits…I notice american men trying to slim their look now.

    and for the record, what Kanye is wearing is NOT tight. thats regular fit… There are indeed men over here who wear skinny jeans… and when i say skinny jeans I MEAN skinny jeans..like the ‘emo’ and ‘goth’ types but i suppose the majority of real dudes don’t go that far… but again, I aint one for knocking a next mans style…so i say let them do them and i’ll do me.

    But dont EVER get it twisted that seeing a London dude in straight jeans aint a headbussa lol

  • DenRock says:

    A’Zona Boi, you must be gay since you can spot one right away. Takes one to know one you know. Anyway, peopel may not like this type of wear, but its been out for a minute. Cats in NY and Chi have been rockin the big scarves since last fall. All yall who are rockin it now are just jumping on the bandwagon. Stop the hatin and let it be. The urban is evolving and moving away from the super baggy jeans that was in during the early to mid 90′s. I’ve been through the whole baggy, all Guess and all Polo street wear so Ive seen it evolved. Kanye is just bringing the best of the 80s and 90′s and adding in his own twist to it. Thats All

  • nerds up! says:

    yooooo this is the style now
    every body from philly to new youk dresses

  • Nick-Knack says:

  • Captain says:

    Any mother ****er can were it but you have to be fresh to rep it

  • Jarryd says:

    What are those bandana things that Kanye wears? like the one he wears in the homecoming film clip?

  • Shara says:

    Why do you guys think kanye has to change hit cloths, it´s his style and there is nothing wrong with it !
    I think he is perfect, you don´t have to dress like everyone else ! that´s just sick of you to think
