SWAGGA! What really is swagger per say

SWAGGA! What really is swagger per say

Recently Sauce kid blasted Terry G and Jessie Jags over the usage of swagger and labeling them all sorts. Before we go further let us define what we personally see as swagger.

Swagger is style, carriage, self confidence mixed with attitude in your walk and moves. In the American hip hop game we can name a few swagger havers as (Lil Wayne, Kanye west, The Game, Camron). I wont call Jay z a swagger haver even though im a big big fan. 50 cent neither. It has more to do with admiration for style than liking your music or rap. Its generality attitudinal. It’s a whole lot on carriage. Take for example that your cool friend that always gets noticed for great dress sense in high school or college. Not because he had money or was handsome or beautiful. But just made their style theirs for keeps.

Back home in Nigeria a lot of artists are all shouting, screaming swagger. With all due respect, I have no disregard for any artist but the term swagger has been over flogged buy cats that ordinarily should not mention it. Every genre has its own natural swaggaits. The thing is that they get it done effortlessly while we all work so so had to be cool, but these cats are natural.

Terry G, KCpresh, jessy jags and all these rest have a right to the usage of the term swagger. It’s left to the discerning public to agree or not. Nobody has the right to say otherwise. Even ‘babasala’ has a right to claim swagger. So u gets my drift! Tip me?

To go straight to what we writing about. I will mention my 5(five) top swagger havers in the game. My criteria for selecting these cats are as follows ease of style, carriage/walk, easy to like, self confidence and attitude. Please be aware that it has nothing to do with talent or music. I will tell you why later. Here are my lists of Top 5 swaggiths in no particular order.


Neato C
The kini big dealer has a natural carriage, very likable and stylish in hip hop. However I do not find his mentor Jayz swaggarish. We are not going to talk about music just style. He does his stuff effortlessly. What’s up with world famous academy?

Sauce Kid
This is my swagger emperor. Not just for using the word. Meet him outside the music environs you will get it. Again not talking about music, try watching him in Knight House musical (won beri). He’s got a cool swagger.


MI
Mister Incredible has a very intelligent and cool disposition to everything. Met him 2 years ago at a concert slightly before he blew and I was taken. Brother has swagger in some form.


DaGrin
This brother is what 50cent is to the niaja ghetto. Watch his musical with YQ. He has a very gansterish I don’t give a f*c*) attitude. Dagrin if well packaged and adviced could be the coolest on this side of the tide.

Kel/Mo’chedda

We had to put these two as joint 5th runners not because they are ladies, but because we could not come to conclusion on who to select to they both got a joint ticket.
Kel has done her research on what makes one likable and personable. She is of the few femce’s out there that actually planned out how to come out. Don’t know but her team is surely working. Great moves.

Mo’chedda. I haven’t seen or even heard any solo performance by this chick. But after wachting her video with sourcekid and seeing her at a few events. I make bold to say she has style. Just like I said b4. Its all about style and personality we are talking about not music.

Bonus addition

Now these cats here are up next if there was space. But somebody will have to be dropped for them to enter.
Durrella, Banky w, dbanj, seantero, Sasha, eldee, modenine, terry da rapman

These guys have talent, can sing and perform, but swagger are not pronounced.
Missing swagger
