How did New York rappers go from from dressing fresh to death in the 80's to homeless people in 90's

[FreddyCalhoun]

Damn, Raekwon is was Blueprint off Fly in the Early 90's...Had me copping Polo's with matchin wally's

80s west coast da GOAT

 

[Foxmulder]

Early mid 90's was the goat.shyt wasn't too oversized like the late 90's-00's.Guess,Polo,Timbs,Columbia jackets and ski hats,gold fronts,them champion sweatshirts with the big ass C on the front,.Then you had the grimey nikkas with the army surplus,field jackets.I remember some dudes coming to school like they were about to go to Vietnam.

Then the late 90's came with all the wack ass hip hop brands and tall tees.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

A while back I was lookin at some old photos of my OG uncles and older cousins from back in the 80s. These nikkaz were rely on that original dope boy swag shyt.

The fila, Adidas, Nike, pony track suits with the matching kicks

 

[CrimsonTider]

Fukc your premise. What niqqas are wearing TODAY is some cross dressing non matching swag faq bullsh't. 90s East Coast style IS Hip Hop. Niqqas was making a statement with the oversize clothes, boots, goggles, and nappy hair. Sh't looks dope.

Yeah, that was my era.

Rae and Ghost were two fly ass dudes.I remember seeing the can it be all so simple video and criminology video.

Grand Puba was fly as fukk too.I use to tape that nikka's videos and try to find the same shyt he was wearing.Them white sales people in Bloomingdales would look at us likeWhen we was up in there.
