New hip-hop avatar clothing now available

by Ben Gilbert on Apr 22nd 2009 12:00PM

We'll admit it: The reason there isn't a lady up top is because we didn't want to delete our precious avatar. We crafted him so carefully! Either that, or we're totally lazy. No matter! As you can see (at least partially) above, new clothing -- hip-hop themed clothing, at that -- has arrived for your Xbox Live avatar.

Major Nelson's blog informs us the (still free) clothing comes in the female as well as the male variety, and we've listed below what your options are. We'll just be upfront and say it -- where's the oversized men's jacket with a myriad of patches for various sports teams? And the Kanye shades? Eh? EH?! Hit the break for all the details on the new clothing, gangstas.

[Thanks, Julian!]

Men:

Denim Shorts
Faded Jeans with Print
Striped Visor Beanie
Diamond Stud Earrings
Square Stones Ring

Ladies:

Oversized Jacket with Chains
Short Shorts
Sports Vest
Diamond Stud Earrings

Oh Baby baby.

That's hip-hop?

It's like the "Rave" set from a few months ago that really looked like "80's 6th grader".

Where's the hip-hop?

Looks like homeless wear to me. : /

The homeless can be hip too!

whats the difference?

@PETE: smack yourself for that one...

It looks like Tom Green.

What? No Earth Day threads?

Oh lord...the influx of racism is about to increase ten fold on xbox live.

Where is a normal black hoody at?!?

It's a hobo!

Hip-Hoppers wear jorts, diamond earrings and beanies? Not in this universe.

I've never liked hip-hop but i'm slightly offended.

More evidence that rare are so out of touch with society today. Next up will be the new "modern" lineup http://www.ucar.edu/communications/staffnotes/9812/hippies.gif

It's ok, all the avatars still pose like women. Seriously though it kind of bugs me

Yep, me too. Nobody takes an Agent 47 avatar seriously when he stands like that. I have been told that he looks like a dance choreographer.

Don't add me as a friend, because I'll just decline you.

Wasn't planning on adding you(?)

I was talking to the general readers, not just you.
Sorry if that seemed a bit blunt.

"OH YEH GANGSTA! CUZ ONLI DA TRU OG'S HAV AVY'S INSTED OF MIIZ! COZ DA XBAWX IS TEH WINZ! MY GUI HAZ LO PANTZ CUZ HES A TRU HOMEBOI!"

Seriously though, meh.

Can we please have some threadz for black people. Please?

that's a boy? i swear it's a girl in boy-drag.

Nope, not "Hip-Hop", "Hip-ster" is more like it. That is all the clothes on the avatars, Hipster and emo, same goes for Playstation Home

There still aren't any decent shoes.

That avatar looks like a homeless girl. What's that? It's not a girl? What do you mean it looks like Dustin and that's why I got confused? Hmm...

Don't diss Shutter Shades (aka Kanye shades), I have a pair.

Should have read

Don't diss posers, I am one.

This is hip hop clothes? Let me know when we can get NFL jerseys ill pay some mircosoft points for that.

These are hip hop clothes? Let me know when ill be able to get some NFL jerseys. ill pay some Microsoft points for that.

More evidence to support my theory that 80% or more of the avatar clothing is designed by gender-confused artists. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course...

yeah it's hip hop...20 years later after the hip-hopster has moved out of their parents house and into the street.

MicroShaft: Now I want you to make a cardboard sign accessory so my character can become the penniless gaming bum he was meant to be.

The picture above is what you look like after your 20th RROD.
