Whose the flyest rapper ever ?

[Carr]

Yeezus

I dont knock the pioneers but the music and regular dude flyness became one with him. Even in his songs he embodied it...

"I cant even go to the grocery store, without some 1s thats clean and a shirt with a team"

Most rappers prior were on that baller vibe. He was the regular dude getting fly.

Mac Dre was a fly one too

I like how he pulled those vans off though

They were iconic because one was Dapper Dan on this Chris Rock show, one was a designer suit designer by a Black person for his wedding, one is streetwear fashion at the brand's peak, that's pretty much every criteria.
And if that first fit is awful, what is this.....? Ya'll nikkas were acting like red suits were the hottest shyt ever on the previous pages.

Karl Kani was "cycled out as out of style" by 1996?
The same year Karl Kani was named one of the 100 richest African Americans?
Same year he was named as of one the most prolific Black firms in the nation?
Same year Aaliyah, Nas and Big enlisted among Tupac, Pete Rock, CL Smooth, Dr.Dre and Snoop as noteworthy advertisers for the brand?
Same year he styled Puffy and Big for the September '96 Vibe Magazine Cover?
Same year he hosted a fashion show in Brooklyn with Fox, Puff, Nas and Kim and then followed up in 1997 with a John Wallace endorsement and added Redman and Jay-Z to the roster of notable advertisers?

Karl Kani was dead in 93.
Kani did not move past 93 as a relative brand.
You talkin about Kani during what would be comparable to the later period of fubu is sold in Walmart out of style in the black community.
Again were you cognitive then,....no.
I know you were not to bring up Kani in 96.

Again stop it,...

fuk you talking about? nas has always had that cut

nikkaz knew AZ for the cut cause AZ did his shows.
Nas did not get popular at all in a pop mainstream context at all during 94-95.
Whereas AZ got popular because of the cultural sentimentality of miss Jones being passed over for don't take it personal for the much larger commercial permeating mca label artist mjb.
So, the windfall and trickle down for sugar hill gave positive reception for AZ and how he got a sentiment based pass for the rnb hook on sugar hill.
As rnb based hooks were culturally taboo at the time.
Whereas alternatively nas suffered setbacks using rnb hooks on the remix to one love.
which was the jiggy precursor to iww, and taboo because of the inclusion of the oversaturated lead single with Lauren and nas did not receive sentiment culturally like AZ as windfall.
Plus culturally, he never made any headway as a fashion guy with lo life around around at all.
Nor, would he make any headway with Leo burnett's reg know at the helm.
to mass market hiphop culturally leading to the worldwide popular implosion of hiphop culture to mainstream masses.
Nas never rocked not one Olympic lo joint, no Indian heads, no nasa coats, no nautica sleeve logo coat, no snow beach, etc.
He was never a fashion guy for people in the culture.
He was a regular timb Hoodie stock baggy jean guy with no diversity of brands.
He was a regular hand style bboy with fashion he was never iconic.
if he swayed you as a pop fan.
You don't know hiphop culture like that and are a mtv nas darling fan era of jiggy nas. Simple as that,....
Nas was never a fashion guy in a cultural context like that.


I know you nikkaz not no bboys in this thread with this nas bullshyt,..y'all some jealous stans.

How is nas going to get props over lo life, culturally...?
Somebody please be stoopid enough to try, and answer.

Playboi Carti

Carti got some of the most swag of the new generation right now.
Him and Ian Connor (as annoying as he his) be getting some crazy fits off.

Extremely weak response to those facts. So again.

I know you want to shyt on Nas for not doing his shows or whatever but that fade hairstyle is widely associated with Nas in hip-hop today and has been for as long as I can remember. I've always associated it with Nas first, Raekwon second.

You making it way deeper than its supposed to be thread is simply asking for well-dressed rappers.

Nas was not just a baggy jeans, Timbs guy. He did wear Nautica and Polo and all that. Dude been brand ambassador/model, lauded by other artists, in the style mags, and hip-hop fashion documentaries for a reason.

After he sold out and hiphop fashion was already marketed in stone.
Again stop it,.....
You are just a jealous nas stan posting bullshyt.

You followed nas culturally and in pop culture.
nas never moved the needle as far as being a fashion icon.

He got dissed for Esco and it was a flopped brand too.

Y'all just trying to use the jay jealous stan playbook playcalling for nas and it is not welled in any facts.
Just like jay's revision model is a farce and a lie, too.

Who is lying to y'all about this shyt.

These nikkaz are not pioneering anything.
other than wearing little Asian boy sizes from Japan and failing to get real iconic pieces in their size from thrift stores on vintage gear.

They are not moving the needle culturally in hiphop at all.
They are bad rehashes of a time they don't really get at all like that.

It is a really really bad joke.

To you personally, probably not. But this isn't the 90s anymore either.
The aesthetics amongst those considered to be the best-dressed rappers post 2012 have shifted to more minimalism.
Vintage Supreme, Raf Simmons, Rick Owens, Balmain, VLONE, etc.

Its its own wave. You confuse yourself by trying too hard to compare it to other eras.

 

[Professor Mac]

The easy choice is Camron...but when I try and go outside the box Method Man was kinda grungy sometimes but could be fly when he wanted to

 

[Ol’Otis]

@ya'll thinking any of them Wu Tang nikkas was fly. Bet ya'll think Kay Slay be fly too.

Rae is fly

 

[Born2BKing]

Rae is fly

Post 2 pics where Rae is fly.
