Today's atire for a "Gangsta". It is a piece of cloth, usually polyester or silk. Tie it on your head and either leave the back flyin' or tied up. A favorite for WankStas, but real gangsters wear it too. Make sure to know which you are messing with before you do.
When my Du Rag comes off, my fro pops out.
My hair goes through the Du Rag.
Look at the wanksta with the Du Rag.
