Jay-Z's "D.O.A."didn't just take shots at those abusing Auto-Tune, or "T-Paining too much." The hip-hopicon also suggested that some rappers were wearing "colors too bright" and"jeans too tight."

There is apparently an influx of burgeoning MCs who did notget the No Skinny Jeans memo.

A quick web search will return results for several odes toskinny jeans.

One of the latest tributes comes from 20-year-old producer L-Ray, who has compared himself toa young Timbaland and Pharrell. L-Ray's song "Rock Skinny Jeans" champions thefashion trend embraced by his peers, especially those who are part of the jerkhip-hop movement.

On "Rock Skinny Jeans," L-Ray defends his style of dress bytaking comical potshots at himself, rhyming, "my jeans are skinny like my jeansare starving," "Imma wear 'em skinny, imma sag 'em too," and "they so thin itlooks like my jeans is on a diet."

The video includes a guest verse from RadioAktive and freshmoves the featured jerk crews Diamond Set, Abstraxx Jerks, and ST.BANDITS.
