SWAG… SWAG… SWAG… SWAG. This word is way overused, misused and is often misunderstood and attributed to the wrong people and things. SWAG. Probably as played out as using the word “hater” but we just can’t help it and must say it abusively in every other sentence no matter what the topic of conversation might be. SWAG. Everyone’s got swag and everything must be swagged out, no doubt. Shit is getting out of control on these streets with this swag craze. So much swag, my head finna explode. Everywhere I look I see nothing but major swag and powerful swag moves. It has invaded all aspects of life and is now a primary objective in our day to day living. The swag is immense and it’s only getting bigger. The swag waves are crashing louder than ever and the streets are feeling the effects. So many different swags it would take a team of 69 nerds about 215 years to document and classify them all. We might never be able to identify all the swags on this planet but we can damn sure do a few and share with the rest of the world. Here are some of these swagtastic individuals caught on these streets.
Swag recognize swag. This dude was half drunk at 7 pm taking slap shots at innocent pedestrians walking down the strip. Boss.
Vintage denim Johnny Blaze jacket and a brain full of good stories. Dude swagged it out a little too hard living in Van City for 11 years. East Hastings swag. So much swag that he managed to bone two bitches in one day, every other day. Real talk (according to him).
Yeah, rocking icy chains might give you some swag or whatever but rocking a red tailed Gabonese parrot is much more exclusive. Believe it or not, the parrot knew how to say SWAG!
SWAG!
Swagger on a million.
Purple camo and gold sneakers. Haters gonna hate…
OK, this dude puts some of you swagged out new school homos in to shame. Black on black mint AF1 lows, black 501 Levi’s, dope Carhart hoodie, black snap-back, a leather back pack and a emerald gold ring. WOOOOOSH. This grandfather is shitting on all you Mac Miller fans right now. SWAG DON!
Natural born swag. You can’t buy this. You can’t fabricate this or try to imitate it. You got to be born with it.
Fake fur fag swag in full effect. The swag gets funky east of St-Laurent walking down St-Catherine.
Just one of the hundreds of swaggods roaming the mountain. Mythical urban characters that defy the laws of swagger.
At first she was like meh…
But then I gave her some ultra dank cheeba…
and got her swag on stupid.
Recently there have been a lot of cross over swags going on between bitches and men. This shit be throwing a mook off guard. Lets play a game: Which one is a boy and which one is a bitch?
More cross over swag. The beard gives it away but from the back it would be a tough call.
Last contender in the game. Boy or bitch?
Jamaicans are the masters of swag. They invented the notion of it. No matter what they wear and how bummy they sometimes look, the swag is always 100.
Dancing with the wind to the swagged-out rhythm of the Sunday tam tams.
Quebec’s finest. Immaculate swag. Some people are like real life cartoons. Bump the pregnant shorty drinking a forty. Studies show that drinking while pregnant increases you child’s swag levels by 23.69%. Look it up.
Because one photo is simply not enough.
Next level swag. This is the new craze in some of the trendiest corners of Tokyo and other big cities in Japan. Dude is ahead of his time. Looks like yall need to step your swag game up.
Rocking a cane gives you major swag points, especially when you don’t really need to use one.
Very few people are on the swag levels of pimps. The modern pimp is keeping it fly with the classic matching outfit and matching gators. Also rocking a swagged out pimp cane but keeping it up to date with his modern lap top bag SWAG.
On the real, this old man has more swag than half of these new rappers. Respect the hair on his chin, young mook.
Hochelag Swag.
I don’t know who’s more swagged out, the fly Pinoy moms or the dog in the baby stroller.
This should be a Calvin Klein commercial.
This 5%er’s swag is 100% on point. Peep the mirrors in them glasses. What you know about that?
Hand made and custom. Definitely swagged out and on top of thangs. Mad props.
SWAG!
These next two flicks are to demonstrate two different swags within the chilleur category. Above is a All City Chilleur. Thick jacket, boots, a wool beanie and a matching sweater ensure you stay warm and swagged out regardless of the weather. Also, dude is holding a little greasy paper bag which indicates that he ate out and kept some for later knowing that the chilling is far from over. Lets take a look at the other chilleur.
This is a classic resident chilleur. He only goes out when the wifey forces him or when he needs to hit the dep for more smokes. He rarely likes to leave his porch where he spends most of his day smoking and chilling. Even though he does not travel much, he still keeps the swagger on high level. Clean slacks, a nice sports jacket, golfer hat and slippers. He’s even got his jewelry on. SWAG!
Matching gives you automatic swag. Some people take it a step further and match the background with their outfit as well.
Sunday swag is not to be slept on. Holy swag.
Someone in the background screamed out “SWAG” when I took this photo. True story.
Last but not least, this is the official Mook Life/NDG Mook Squad Swag. You want to be cool? You want to be down with us? You want to have major swag? You have to dress like this. Make sure to buy those same exact hats and the RUN NDG jumpies. Sneakers and jeans got to be the same too. Don’t be rocking fly swag like those fitteds with the wrong New Bals on your feet. Don’t forget to talk with a fucked up immigrant accent, even if you don’t have one. Disregard everything around you at all times and make sure to say offensive things in public in a highly obnoxious and overly loud manner. Listen to only hip hop and hate on people constantly. Do stupid things you know you will regret because it feels good at the moment. Smoke and drink in any public or private area as if this whole world is your house. Disregard bitches and make money. Most importantly, do you. Don’t let anybody dictate your swag. Don’t fake the funk or be on the next man’s pee pee. Keep it real and swag will be granted. SWAG!!!!!!

Vaudreuil kids pushing civics rocking fitteds and poppin pills like tic tacs. Keep livign the Mook Life.
