Who started it? 2Chainz learned about it then started using it:

"Black and gold, that's been the theme," said the former Disturbing Tha Peace member. "You see my album cover's black with the gold. I had the album cover done two or three months ago, I just released it. I was trying to actually trying to brainwash the consumer on Drake's tour. We're doing a lot of black and gold on stage. That's what you see me doing a lot."

Black = to become inconspicuous, to open the door to mystery, to prepare for the unknown, a restful emptiness

Gold = increase personal power, relaxation and enjoyment of life, good health, success

Yeah but the transition to it all of a sudden got me pondering why? So 2chainz basically explains it.

^^^^

I was merely adding on, Black and Gold has been a popular combination for decades really.

Dips out of sight but is never forgotten.

True

I think modern rappers intentionally wear black/ gold the same way as fast food spots use red/yellow.

Red increases your pulse and stimulates appetite. Yellow can be seen from the longest distance. Therefore, as you are driving along, you see the yellow of the logo first and the red makes you want to eat.

asap started that shyt

:rudy:


Before that nikka was even born, LA nikkas were doing the all black with Gold.

Run DMC did it before NWA

cats in the south before integration where doing it.

It's simple, and to the point.

Black has always been stylish to wear, and Gold is a symbol of wealth in every civilized society.
