^Exactly.
A lot of shyt from the clothes to the electronic infused sound is coming full circle. A lot of people on this board seem to be stuck in some crazy time freeze where rap only existed between the mid 90's and mid 2000's. Everyone else including the artists they like have moved on.
Back in the day, nobody cared how these artist dressed tho. They had no face album covers and obstructed facial album covers. We didn't even know what these artist looked like. The music is what mattered. If you were dope, then you were dope. And if you were wack then you were wack.
Nobody cared about how you dressed or looked back then. Besides, that was the "style" then. You can't compare fashion from the 70's and 80's to the 90's era or even now. Whatever was happening in those eras fit that time frame. Including fashion. I know I got pics of myself from back in the day, that I look at now and say WTF was I thinking LOL? So these rappers are no different.
