By example I think Puff brought it to light

Then the Jay-Z gold bottle era

Dipset are the ones who kept saying the word and used it in they vocab.....Lil Wayne copying Dipset in his prime made it commercialized

Kanye's image & being so into fashion took it to the next level

but as far as the NEW generation goes LIL B should get all the credit......hate it or love it you cant deny B is the reason 90% of these new young rappers coming out saying SWAG and SWAG SWAG

[mike dolla]

I really don't remember hearing it before that one Jay-Z verse, because before that every1 was still saying "fly, fresh, and poppin", so I guess the credit goes to Jigga!!!

 

[Hahahaha]

I'm lost, you're talking about who were the first to use the word or who has "swag"?


First I heard really use it, Keith Murray
Who made it hot and got everyone saying it Cam'ron
Then Lil' Wayne started using it and it lost all steam, everyone started using it and the south started claiming it
