Jim Jones or Juicy J, who started the rock star fashion shyt?

[Mike Wins]

Honestly can't really remember. But I feel like Juicy J was wearing that shyt in 2004 when Jim was still dressing like a stereotypical New York rapper and first time I remember seeing a rapper wear that style prominently was the Stay Fly video, when Juicy J was wearing the skull shirt and wallet chain. And that track and video was bigger than anything Jim ever did.

Jim Jones. Juicy J in Stay Fly didn't look "rockstar".

Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier, Trues, B.B belts, wallet skull chains, etc.

August 2005

Juicy J had a more demonic image I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s a rockstar look but jones was one of the first to start wearing small shirts and chrome

Wayne got it from Dipset. He was dressing like Pharell and the Clipse before that.

I don't follow rocker fashion that close

But Juicy rocking that green skull t-shirt and wallet chain with the designer aviators seemed unique for a rapper at the time like something a rock band guitarist or bass player would wear

Somebody in the comments pointed out Jimmy saw that poster of Korn on the wall and went like he realized that's the style he wanna go with.

How did the Clipse dress??? They were fashion trendsetters?

I saw Young Jeezy, Fabolous, Kanye West, Jay-Z all wearing Bathing Ape/BBC around that time. Nobody were saying that they were trying to be like the Clipse.
