uh-oh BOLD font! I think its trash and I wouldnt wear it if it was given to me. Yes youth, Yes city. This clown is from Chicago right? One of the most violent places in the states and he is trying to push "pyrex vision" specificaly to young people?
hope these clowns dont run into some real tough guys
I hate to do this but Ninja is right. The skate culture is what brought skinny jeans, but that was after people had started slimming down. Idk where you are from, but Dipset had a heavy influence in that time period, and before people got into streetwear heavy they were rocking true religion, seven jeans, rock republic and stuff like that. This was not only in NY but also in mass, florida, and even dominican republic (those were the only places I can say I saw for myself in that time period). This was Jim Jones was sort of the face of dip set and around the whole ballin period, it was slimmer clothes and ******ed looking belts, or baggy clothes. Jim Jones was very mainstream at that point
This is so on point. As the "NY era" of hip hop died though, rappers lost influence. People no longer looked up to people from their borough, and for a little while everyone started looking like they were from harlem, then eventually the younger crowd started dressing like rappers who aren't from NY at all. I remember when I was young people took so much pride in how they dressed and representing where they were from, that NY pride seems to be long gone
He actually got that style from the older dominican dudes in the heights. The ones who played the block dressed like that for a long time, he just threw a lil spin on it with the belts and continued to rock his bandana's. For some reason after the whole gangster stage that's where he turned to style wise, even went as far as getting the curlylarge pro!
yeah, i specifically remember jim jones wearing slim fit tees in the tall tee era, and thinking to myself it was a much better look, compared to the OD baggy shirts most rappers were wearing. i'm sure he went that route cuz he works out / body builds, and a lot of guys who do, wear slimmer shirts, to show it off a bit, cuz most girls will tell you they like that look better... i remember that video with him doing push ups with chicks sitting on his back.
both those dudes ain't never fired a gun. ever.

One of the flyest young dudes to come out the city. RIP to that man, still bump him constantly

they wouldn't fling a rubber band in the hood
I didnt mind when Kanye brought some casual wear into rap
I don't mind 1 or 2 people wearing tough clothes or pink
but, Jesus Christ, it's at a point where not 1 rapper dresses like a man
check out these funboys
Wale, French Montana, A$AP Ferg
This is the type of stuff that looks really ridiculous:
Oh. No. He. Didnt.
