Cam was hot at the time and Alpo could dress so of course the youth loved the imagery lol

But yo even before PAID IN FULL

rappers like NAS had already embraced the imagery of ALPO as seen when Nas performed live rocking the same DAPPER DAN inspired Louie Vuitton coat on HBO the Chris Rock show a full two years before the Movie paid in full dropped

I mean Im a southern cat but Cats like Alpo embodied the “NY fly boy” look and that was the “look” cats like Nas,AZ, Mase, etc had.

Clean yet gaudy fits and dark ceaser cuts with waves lol

Like it was that look or the bald head rowdy roughneck look that were the fashion spectrum during the time. Sprinkle in the Afro Centric stuff and anything that wasnt in them buckets were seen as country/bamma ish lol.

Yeah of course the NY fly guy look was common during that era ...88-96

I know because my last year in NYC was 1996 before I moved down south so I kept a Caeser cut with the waves but I DIDNT ROCK GAUDY CHAINS cause my area around 166th and Washington would make u a victim

Only the RAPPERS with security and the Dope Dealers with muscle had big gaudy chains out in full display

The most I did was rock a conservative looking Cuban link TUCKED UNDER my champion sweater on the way to class

But clearly in that clip I uploaded Nas was channeling the "spirit" of Alpo for that performance

Nas also name-dropped him on ILLMATIC

Some fiends scream, about Supreme Team, a Jamaica Queens thing
Uptown was Alpo, son, heard he was kingpin

Take pictures with a hispanic who was involved in the murders of 13 black men brehs
fam, faison love the actor was born in cuba look it up fam. Also people love gangster movies like goodfellas,casino etc. based on true characters:yeshrug: alpo was involved in 14 murders not 13:ehh:. side note andrew chambers should be famous dude from detroit (not the Chambers Brothers) who was actually a paid informant made a living setting folks up on so many people he was one of the top informants. that should deter kids from getting in this crazy drug game. Ms.Tee book called Snitch highlights some good real examples of how dudes can tell police information or police leads without being on paperwork. the game is cold. on a side note, i laugh when kids get caught up with who snitch and who isn't like they are holders of moral compass if these dudes are honorable while selling poison :mjlol:

Let’s be for real here. You think the dudes they killed were intelligent enough to immediately know these two perfectly English speaking cats were Hispanics ?

As a matter of fact these dudes are so black even if they let other people know they were Hispanic them nikkas probably wouldn’t give two shyts.

:comeon:
I was dap fishing :yeshrug:
