Jacob & Co Watches Being Out Of Style Appreciation Thread

[The Emperor]

Ahhhhhhhh...
Seems like just yesterday rappers were spitting lines about going to see Jacob or having a Jacob on their wrist... It's kinda like King Magazine, the hottest most desired thing out then POOF/GONE/VANISHED!

Even before Jacob got indicted for his dealings with BMF the Jacob Watches had lost all their BUZZ...

It's amazing how quick something can pick up with industry CO-SIGNS and SHOUT OUTS...

Just a little amazed at how quickly the watches lost the buzz...
Don't know the reason why...

These watches might as well be named 2004's...

 

[Budda]

There were so many fakes about!

It ended with the likes of Jay Z and co trying to be 'sophisticated' and 'Euro' and realizing a AP or Rolex would get you a lot more good looks from cacs than a diamond flooded fakeish Jacob watch.

who was the first rapper to actually mention Jacob on a track or freestyle ? Jay ?

 

[Cladyclad]

Jacob made a piece for Hov like a year ago so

 

[Ricky Church]

fukk them shyt's.

 

[Heafcliffe]

Back then, wanted one but then soon realized there were better shyt out there that was less likely to be fugazi'd.

Especially when I saw my boys rocking them as they walked their parents' dog and stayed on curfew.

 

[KinksandCoils]

All of the bold designed stuff never last. Take black label and ed hardy stuff for example. It's too flashy and to specific for a certain time period.

 

[King Jove]

so many people down here had the fake ones

good times

 

[TRFG]

 

[Heretic]

Wasn't he accused of charging people for fake diamonds and overall poor quality?

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Funny how the 90s was all Rolex everything for hip hop and now everybody wearing rolexes again

Idk who rapped about it first but Jacob was on one of those VH1 documentaries and said Faith Evans came in checked some shyt out and brought Big in to pay for what she picked out the next day. Then Big brought in Diddy and it started there.
