Wow, I did not know there was such royalty in the Hip Hop world. Gotta love their self proclaimed titles.

I don't care for Kenly's designs but I do think she had a rather difficult genre. Only because I don't think, these days at least, that Hip Hop has a specific fashion style. Those artists seem to be all over the place with what they are wearing. Especially the men, some of them dress like they work at the Gap one day and the next they are loaded with bling and furs. Some of the Hip Hop women dress like pop stars.

With that said though, she still designed a horrible outfit. The pants were hideous and not made well. I think she was only kept because she adds some drama to the show with her meltdowns and her lack of being able to be critiqued.

I'm not a fan of Suede but I think his design last night was good. The judges said the pants were expected - what exactly did they expect him to do for a rock star? If he would have dressed Jarrell up in spandex then it would have been too costumey. Heidi said that Jarrell looked like Jarrell. Is that a bad thing? Is it Suede's fault that his model already dresses in that kind of style? I thought he designed a wearable "rock" outfit that didn't look like he was trying too hard.

Just my opinion.
