So many rappers these days are claiming some sort of affiliation with certain designers.
We have our favorite award ceremony crasher Mr. West staking his claim as the Louis Vuitton don amongst a whole slew of others.
What the young generation needs to understand is that rappers since the old school have been setting this trend. The most famous of them all is RUN-DMC’s love for Adidas. And how can we forget Doug E. Fresh’s love for Bally shoes.
However, this song really put it out there for people to recognize how much these guys loved the gear they wore. When Grand Puba said “Girbaud hanging baggy on the bottom, Hilfiger on the top,” that’s all it took! Everyone wanted to know who Tommy Hilfiger was and how they could accumulate more of one of the most coveted designer name brands in the golden era of 90’s hip-hop.
