lol NYC was the media capital of the world, pre-Internet, so it was easy for them to dictate trends to other cities. Who cares in this day in age? A dying dog in it's twilight years trying to relive it's glory, when most of you were just babies:wow:

Why isnt it? We are talking about Hip Hop fashion. Why wouldn't rappers be included?

And plenty of people all across the country are rocking brands like Diamond Supply Co.

i thought this was about whats actually going on in the streets. not what some corporate rappers are wearing.

i never heard of diamond supply. i just googled it, and its some skater chit.

Coogi has turned into some ironic, hipster shyt not some late fashion trend that Southern nikkas have hopped on. The OG been wearing that shyt. You can find people in NYC still wearing that shyt ironically. What are you talking about?


You're really going to sit here and act like NYC being the media capital had nothing to do with them setting the trends in the pre-Internet era?

you just posted pics of rappers.

great job.

You said it was 'some skater shyt' and that no one has heard of it...

How about this one?

Isn't he a rapper from Philly who you claim is always in the streets?

Leaving out rappers when talking about Hip Hop fashion is like mentioning jerseys but not talking about the players themselves.

NY, just cuz everything from cammo, to kufis to tims to throw backs to button ups etc all came from NY

LA runner up definitely, khakis, chucks, dikkies, bandannas definitely had their time
