Foh all y’all :camby:

That started hip hop-wise and mainstream-wise in NYC and Jersey. Especially Brooklyn.

You come lately niqqas swear it started with y’all?

on the eastcoast it was mainly conscious brothers or ppl who had some knowledge of self rocking dreads

u forgot about Black Thought, Da La and Jungle Brothers

Even Nas had dreads back in the day

somewhere after Wayne it became known for fukkery and negativity though but on the east if u had dreads it probably meant u read alot of books and were the Lupe Fiasco type brother (well it used to back in the day atleast)

:pachaha:Wtf is wrong with these dudes
the origins of dreads most likely predates homo sapiens

pretty sure Homo Erectus's hair probably loc'd up, no one had time to cut their hair back then when ur main priority was securing a meal and watching out for danger

(I'm aware mentioning our human predecessors on this forum is blasphemy and cac talk since the majority of us here (and in this country) are knee deep in religious superstition and flat earth conspiracies)
