At the 2:50 mark Jim leaves the conversation to gaze at the Korn Rockstar poster. He definitely had the idea in store.

Shoulda wore Adidas Tracksuits like JD did if that's the case

I was rocking blue hair, leather jackets, converse and chains at a HBCU in 1996 with nikkas calling me "white boy". I want my flowers. :wow:
Funny because my flabby socal heads can co sign all jim did was take every black dude that listened to punk rock/rap rock in the 05-00.

Jim’s style is the current wave for sure.

He really brought the Chrome Hearts aesthetics into hip-hop, similarly to Pharrell bringing BAPE into the spotlight. You could argue the same for Supreme as well.
No.

Supreme was already the most popular streetwear brand by the time they worked with them, and Jim and Juelz admitted to not even hearing about them before.

Tyler is more responsible for the popularity of Supreme outside of streetwear people than Jim is.

Wayne bein influenced by Dipset just a fact lol he'd tell ya himself. nikka switched up his whole style and dress code wearin shyt and brands he ain't ever wore or even heard of. It was that one summer he was rockin wit those nikkas for a while specially Juelz. He wasn't as embraced in NY, east coast hip hop till he was rollin wit Dipset too.
