Per the nephew of a former pimp from the 60s,70s, and 80s "We wear shyt that the average mfer would feel uncomfortable in and make it look fly with our confidence.
A bytch see me looking like Captain Crunch but see im still talking shyt, driving a fly whip, and drinking the finest shyt...she wanna test to see if she can break my confidence. Thats when I put my game down. Spin my web and trap me a bytch with this pimping."
Damn Unc
shyt i remember Unc came to church in a double breasted lime green suit. nikka had gold tip dress shoes, silk hankerchief. shyt them church women went crazy. My grandpa (his brother and pastor) was furious when Unc came in. He stole the show

. Man i swear i was born in the wrong timeline. nikka would tell me stories of getting his shoe shine, hair permed while the Dramatics record play in the background talking shyt with the other players. He drank that remy martin, hit a blunt, jump in the el dog and cruise to some Johnnie Taylor picking it money and hoes.
