Rapper Costume for MNSSHP: Offensive?

[SurferStitch]

While it wouldn't offend me (nothing offends me...I'm pretty thick-skinned), I don't think it's necessarily appropriate for a party at a Disney park.

I was just watching a show about rap music (VH-1), and all of the violence, drugs, murder, degradation of women, etc. that has been linked to the rap and hip hop community over the years. The big stars are trying to change that image lately, but it's a long road. I just don't think that's something to represent at a Disney function.

There are so many great costumes (even non-Disney) that you could wear, that I think a rapper should be near the bottom of the list. That's JMHO, but it's how I feel. I have to go with your girlfriend on this one.

As a somewhat "former" CM at the park, go as who you want to go as. It's a Halloween party after all...LOLOLOL....But again, no profanity on the clothes, keep your drawah's covered, and ya got it, brotha! If you've never been, be sure and catch the second run of the parade, along with Hall-o-Scream fireworks. Be sure and get a Treat Bag on your way in to the park. You can start coming in for the Party as early as 4:00pm with JUST your Party tickets; no need to waste a day at MK on your regular park tickets.

Oh yeah - and have LOTS OF FUN!

Why don't you Disney-fy the rapper image? You could wear a giant Mickey Mouse clock on a chain around your neck.

Hi,

Thanks for all of your input. Gf read it. Still opposed, but seems to be softening. I'm now favor, and I'm sure with the right accessories the spoof won't be lost on anyone.

Originally got the idea from 2 Aussies at last year's US Open (tennis). They and their little stuffed kangaroo companion had it going on. With over-the-top medalions as the finishing touch, nothing was left to doubt.

If you use a clock (a la Flava Flav) make sure it makes a loud ticking sound - that way if you run into Captain Hook he should get real nervous looking for his 'buddy' the croc!!!

Totally not offensive.

BUT... I agree with the others who have said that this is perhaps not the best costume for this particular party.

I think it is more fun myself and try to do something disney themed.

That said....

There was a little while back some T-Shirts that had Mickey, (and others I believe) sort of what's the word? "Rapper-fied ???" If you could even find that shirt, and make your costume match it, maybe add some mickey ears, you might look like you were one of his "crew" But that may be too "squeaky" for what you wanted...
