Nah, Jay was actually poppin' the Cristal bottles and speaking about in his raps as far back as his first single in '94. He was doing that from the jump.
Very first single dropped and one of his first videos.
what are you talking about right now? before he had his 1st album he had gold bottles
literally look at the first 10 secs of this video. tell me what kind of bottles you see?
classic versace t right here
All wrong.
1- I see myself in his eyes, I moved from Levi's
To Guess to Versace, now it's diamonds like Liberace
-Coming of Age
2- Feelin It video again on some boss persona shyt
3- Even before reasonable doubt, ‘When Puff was in that tub spilling Mo, I was at my video, Cris on the speedboat’
Said cristal:
Versace style shirt:
Pouring toasts in reading glasses n shyt
‘In My lifetime ngga go do your research, St Thomas my ngga that was me first’. That video came out in 95 maybe even 94
A lot of you nggas need to realize it’s okay to not know some shyt. Dudes was barely alive but try to rewrite history
Edit: wrote a bunch of sht but I gotta back track.
I was gonna say y'all can show me the times jay wore Versace or had some bottles but jay wasnt Poppin enough to be looked at as the "Versace wearing, cris Poppin, fly rapper" that someone should emulate.
Back then he wasnt that nikka
He became that nikka later, where he separated himself on some big boss, getting all the money nikka
But I can't say what some nikkaz in VA saw. And what they gravitated to.
