The actual word swag was popularized by dipset around like 06-08(popularized, NOT invented).. then different rappers just kept mentioning the word swag in various songs and it caught on..

:camby:at nikkas saying lil b or soulja boy, there was so many songs talking about swag before lil b got popular or pretty boy swag came out

its funny now hearing older songs that say swag or swagger....

same as hearing songs pre-Lil Jon talking about gettin crunk...

just know that once a term reaches the mainstream its already been run into the ground
or songs post-Mac Dre talking about getting hyphy

I bought a Carbon 15 when I was 18
I know swag was always apart of hip hop but who was it that actually popularized the term and style and made it a mainstream thing?

I'd say the diplomats were the precursors to the swag movement, but it seems like something that would've started in cali, like the bay or something :ohhh:
listen here man

yesssssssssss

basedgod lets teach dis nikkas bout the 6Fold Path to Based yessssss

Only the Probased demigod task force captain *66* Brandon McCartney aka that pretty bytch lil b can grasp the based elixir and remember all the rare secrete verses from basednam and basedworld while facin 36 and hittin 40 licks with 50 bytches on his dikk

thats why we gotta protect the Basedgod at all costs

is this really being debated?

dipset blew all this swag chit up, and a lot of other stuff that some people don't want to give them credit for, because the TV doesn't tell them to.

its an old word but dipset started the swag phenomenon in hip-hop.

New Boyz were the first fags I seen on TV in skinny jeans with snapbacks and all that shyt these kids wear now. The whole jerk movement started this bright color extra tight bullshyt IMO.

I thought it was Lil' B and The Pack?

Swag has always been around, even since my parents days. For the new generation though, Cam and Dip Set are def four fathers for a lot of what you see today.
