"In hip-hop our job is, once a trend becomes a gimmick, to get rid of it. We've done that since the beginning of time. This isn't some newfangled thing," Jay-Z says about the track, which criticizes the overuse of the pitch-correction technology. "When people were wearing the black medallions Ice Cube came along and said, 'Get it outta here!' When Hammer was selling 50,000 records, Q-Tip came and said, 'Get it outta here!' Then Biggie Smalls came and said, 'Your life is played out like Kwame in the f---ing polka dots. Get the polka dots outta here!' It's just a part of hip-hop."

So the Lumberjack look is well into its prime. I recently went on a scourge to find the best shirt that resembled what a true lumberjack would wear when they take an axe to a tree. But, I found the more I looked the more I found to be caught in a fad and less into a trend. What's the difference you say. Well I looked it up it seems that trend is more of a developing change. Whereas fad is more of a widely shared enthusiasm for something. It seems that anything to do with the workman look seems to be doable every few years. Remember when these bad boys were all the rage?
