Who popularized Jesus pieces in Hip Hop and what exactly is it suppose to mean?

[hustlemania]

If you know tell nikkas. Why be a dikkhead?

there should be a Coli hip-hop encyclopedia for y'all..

the term can be given to Big.. of course.. but, he didn't make the piece popular.. people been rockin em..

that's why he did.. simple mathematics..

you good..?

Biggie for the one before

I respect Aaron Hall was wearing his gold little jesus head... but Biggie made in popular in Hip Hop/Rap (which the thread title asked) and he blinged it out like whoa.

 

[Crucial]

The question wasn't who wore them first, it was who popularized them.

 

[eerieBell]

Right. Why are we the only ones not ignoring that random ass gif.

Ghostface smh.

Ghostface wore the Jesus Piece before Biggie actually.
He had his piece in 1994 i read somewhere.
But rappers wore religious jewelry before that just like regular folks wear crosses and stuff.

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I think this Jesus Piece actually looks doper than Biggie's piece.
Although i do like the long chain Big wears.

 

[Entrapta310]

You do remeber there was beef btwn certain members of wu tang and biggie.
so if we can confirm the year of that picture, that would be nice.

i wonder who did it first
