Are chains officially dead in Hip Hop?

[hatechall]

I don't buy the money theory because even athletes who used to bling out and actually have the money, aren't rocking like that any more, either. Ot's more about trends.

While jewelry isn't as popular as it once was, it's hardly dead.

back in the day that shyt was overboard.

a remote control lambo chain??

i liked these at the time.

wow N.O.R.E

Dudes was writing these off as "promotional items" on taxes tho.

A lot was fake too.

And the others were crazy cause the money was crazy. Million dollar deals everywhere. Million dollars just on videos. Million advance. Million dollar sets on tour.

nikkas was just overdoing it. That baller age. The houses. Cribs. The cars. Everything was redicilous for a while

Mad rappers and athletes still wear chains. And multiple chains at that. They just not big and gaudy no more. nikkas will rock a nice Cuban or a couple moon cut chains wit the small Angel pendant. Or maybe a small pharaoh head pendant.

I know it's not dead. "Icing Out" is dying which is more of a product of the later 90's/early 2000's

yeah, the iced out bling is kinda dead. They're going back to the older style, pre-icing out.

Btw, how the fukk could i forget?!

Outside of what i said about that dog nikka X's chain (DMX) & Ghost's eagle joint, by far 1 of the hardest and favorite chains is Treach's!

That nikka brought back that Isaac Hayes (RIP) shyt. I think it was Isaac who used to rock that along with his other chains. Word up.

no grown man is walking around w/ a big ass cuban link on his neck.
shyt looks dumb in the real world.

Rapper taking photos? Sure.

 

[raoulduke187]

You don't see rappers with chains anymore, shyt been tacky for a while

I saw that cac ra the rugged man in concert halloween and he had a big ass chain but he's been rhyming since the 80s so he might not count

Huge chains been over for a while. I been noticing rappers been leaning towards gold ropes and old school Jesus piece type chains, them shyts look way classier and better

on the real it does, i see a lot of youngins rocking with this type of wave now

lets be real...
...in real life men dont rock that shyt.

You gotta be a rapper/ball player...or some type of hood star.

For the most part...the main piece of jewelry that men geek out on are watches.

The rule of thumb for most of this shyt is...
...if a broke muthafuka knows your shyt is worth something...it probably isnt that nice.
Its about being subtle.

I could somewhat agree with this.

Platinum is dead (thank Allah) but gold is definitely the in thing... Gold looks way better

imo platinum/silver > gold
