Why Jay-Z Swag?

I was reading an article the other day which featured rapper Joe Budden. He said something like when you say the word "SWAG" you need to also say "no homo" after cuz your basically admitting you like another dude's style. Joe Budden is cool or whatever, but I gotta disagree with that. To me, swag doesnt necessarily have 2 do with a person's looks or style. Swagger is a confidence about yourself, and the way you carry yourself. It's an attitude. Also, it doesnt mean your cocky or conceited either, even tho it might come off that way. Swag isnt even necessarily a Hip-Hop term, it dates back awhile. You can look at sports for example, a team that carries themselves the right way and plays with confidence has swagger, get it? And just like confidence, swag is something that doesnt always stay constant, it can go up or down at any time. When your feeling down on yourself, your swag is low. But when your feeling great about yourself, and nobody can tell you shit, that means you got your swagger back where it belongs. Everybody should have a high level of swag, its not even about how cool you are or how you dress, those are just things that can improve your swag. Take me for example, right now I got on some navy blue Nike gym shorts & the same black tee I fell asleep in last night, far from fashionable..But I feel the same way I would when I dress like in my profile pic, digg me? But anyway, for those of you wondering, that is my definition of swagger & the reason why I named my BlogSpot "Jay-Z Swag" is because Hov is someone with extraordinary swag, you can tell it in his voice & by what he's accomplished. He's no male model & he definitely didnt grow up rich, but goddamn that dude's got crazy swag. Alrite then, so everybody do your thing, stay up & get ya swagger right!! Peace. :)
