I remember late 90's - early 2000's the streets wasn't fukking with nikkas with mohawks. If you had a mohawk you was gonna get roasted and clowned. nikkas for some reason were too tough to accept mohawks as a cool acceptable hairstyle. I remember Game getting a mohawk and G-Unit would clown him on records for it. Now as I'm older I'm like wtf was the big deal about it. So what was it?

Not saying OBJ was the first to do it. He just made it popular. nikkas wasn't running to get mohawks just cuz Diddy and Lenny Kravitz and Dennis Rodman had them and shyt
They was tho.
After Diddy ran the city, the hairstyle became a trend that has over time transitioned into the Odell cut.

Those aren’t Mohawks tho. Those are nappy fros with a fade taper.

Puff was the first black man that wasn’t on that punk rock tip that wore a Mohawk for that marathon in 200sumn

No it didn't :childplease:

Diddy was by himself with that shyt.

Others tried and failed. OBJ made it cool and trendy cuz his actually looks dope. All these kids and adults are after that look.

That's the south of France cut which is really a hybrid version of a mohawk & tapered fro.

Mohawks were nowhere near presentable.

There was no sponge to make it look better, no blend to a mohawk cut, just a skinny strip of hair going down the middle of the head.:scusthov:

It's just an all around crappy hair style.
