Da baggy era, a fashion retropective.

[deleted]

Y'all got me looking for a boonie now

Speaking of Duck Down, what happened to those knit hats with the ear flaps like Buckshot wore in some videos? Are those still cool? Please help

 

[Hahahaha]

Cam said Jim the first one to get Rap to slim their clothes

Shout out to sneaker legend and God's favorite DJ Clark Kent

Cam brought up a interesting point on how JR writer was da
better rapper bought people would rather be Jim Jones...

(personally Cam ain't see da Reggaeton wave coming but that's another story).

Folks were glad about the tall tees, we were tucking choopers in those Buads and tees.

going to clubs in NYC during baggy era and winter time was a trip, people would sneak in damn near anything in their baggy clothes including bats pipes all kinds of sharp objects long guns.

Most def feel like this is true. Jim was the first one I saw rocking more fitted stuff while everybody else was in 4XL shirts and jeans. He may have had a hand in that mini-rock wave before everybody went overboard wearing spiked wrist bands, belt chains, and those Ed Hardy looking shirts (unless those were actually Ed Hardy, idk)

2004 Kanye......

What ever happened to Lil Turk? I remember I would day that he's better than Wayne just to get under some of my boys skin, knowing that Wayne was the best.

Lil Turk was better though As was BG and Juve

[Mark Antony]

Track and was hard and should have been huge but super 50 killed ja's buzz by then. Which is crazy when you think about it.

Crazy how time flys and this now looks like standard stuff off the Salvation Army clothes rack. I mean damn, the jeans look like bell bottoms here

I think jay did that on 106 and park. Fat joe definitely reinforced

you can’t justify those jeans. The **** is terrible

 

[23soles]

looks like Ye’s in Paper Denim in that photo.
I remember those days. Used to hit up Filene’s basement to grab some Purple Label polo and Paper Denim for cheap haha

Maybe it's because I was a kid/teenager, but I barely went to the fitting room to try on jeans. Now if I don't try it on, there's like a 50/50 chance that I won't like how it looks.

bootcut jeans were trendy around that time. Jim Jones wore them too.

I feel like the internet sped the process up. All jokes aside, get him some better fitting jeans and it still works.

Anybody watch Patriot Act? Being trendy is as bad as riding around in a pre Dieselgate VW.

That is a really underrated point. At that time there was baggy, baggier and baggiest. All three were acceptable. Now days every brand fits different and you have no idea how a slim to a skinny will fit in comparison.

 

[L7oser]

I didn't know what my actual waist size was until prom.

True religion boot cut Jeans had cats foaming at the mouth.

Couldn't get down with it sloppy fit imo.

 

[coldcrush]

those jeans looked sloppy because they weren't cut good and were worn sized up to sag.

Slim/straight leg bootcut actually looks good with boots and not sneakers. A lot of Japanese denim labels have a pair in their lines..

and I liked the slim fit bootcut jeans true religion had. those looked nice. The ones without the tacky branding.

 

[lamekilla]

This thread always takes me back man

it actually was a hit, hence why 50 attacked Fat Joe & Jadakiss.. didn't want them revving Ja Rule's career.

cool & dre did da production on da track.
