When did Lexus (and to a lesser extent, Acura) fall out of favor with Hip Hop?

Athletes and rappers were much more modest then…probably people in general.

U was doing it in your Tommy Hilfiger rugby and Guess jeans and Timbos driving a Lexus gold chain on.

That ain’t shyt no more. Tommy and Guess is cheap shyt and Lexus a middle class whip. Gold ain’t enough you gotta be iced out.

These drill rappers wearing $400 hoodies with $1200 jeans and $800 kicks in Maybach rentals with diamond chains

yeah the status value dropped somewhere around the late 90's probably

but also more money came into the game and rappers started trying to outdo each other

but it wasn't on the block money, it was Rolls Royce and Ferrari's and cigarette boats

Nah that’s too early imo

Like someone said Birdman was flexing Infiniti SUV and also ugly ass PT Cruiser limos in the early 2000’s. Cam’ron had a Range.

Watch an MTV Cribs I seen Sheed and Melo’s nikkas was rich then even to todays standard and even they had some regular whips in their fleet

Cadillacs was still hot a crazy rapper whip was like a Lambo or Rarri

Tbh I credit Meek with starting the Rolls/Maybach infatuation

When rappers became obsessed with European everything

 

[Mac Ten]

when dudes started making millions and buying cars like bentleys, maybachs and others they couldn't afford to maintain long term. shyt, mfers were talking about Suburbans, Acuras, Lexuses, and even 500 series Beamers in the 90s regularly. The broke ass fans would laugh at someone talking about a Lexus on an album now. And these are the mfers catching rides with others and at the bus stop.

Those same chicks would definitely flock to you if you had a Lex or Infiniti…

Don’t let em be fooled. It’s a cheat code
