Nas is normally well dressed, but his most iconic looks are a 90s east coast style that isn't unique to him. This is probably my favorite Nas look that isn't a tuxedo or something formal.

The flyest rappers have to be kind of out there while still being unique and impactful. That's not Nas, but his stylists still keep him straight.

He's had some looks I felt were really dope. My girl grabbed this Denim and Supply jacket for me after we saw him wear it because I thought it was really cool.

cam'ron is the only logical answer, what sets him apart from the rest of the pack is that he remained fly while not doing some off the wall shyt like rocking a dress or some skin tight pants, rocking pink was looked down on at a point but its just a color, and now its normalized thanks to him

even with pink aside he always had some fly clothes

fab is fly but he's always chased trends rather than set them, he'd hop on a trend and go overboard with it to the point where it gets corny.. like with those movie/tv show jerseys and now the vintage t shirts

nas is more famous for that street new yorkish swag so to speak. the "nas cut" is iconic. the timbs, the army jacket and the nautica jacket, he was the poster child of that. it ain't hard to tell did a lot.

I heard a lot of rappers referenced nas when it comes to the mid 90's street style


Nas is not the guy credited with that look at all.

That look was a bboy standard since inception.
WAy way way before living like a trooper dropped.



Just stop it,....

Common styling on everybody in success, included.




He used to be the flyest hands down.
till he ditched his entire steez spawned from uac and dem dare.
Then, started wearing sweaters made of incense candles.

I know cause I was his number one stan before stan was a term.
till the truth was given to me in the summer of 98 about duke.

common showed up on rap city impromptu and set nikkaz whole thinking they fresh back all through the nineties.
Duke fell off and should have took leadership of native tongues instead of conceding, back then.

When all of native tongues wanted him to be the flagship hands down, easy.

Common ain't been the same.
since the big Illinois album was shelved and not completed.

Most iconic flyest hiphop sweater in rap video history.

Tajai = 93 till

Which started the infux of toys playing dressup.
which later lead to the Mass influx of toys and posers in droves in the mass marketing of hiphop by leo burnett in 1996.

On the real,......
Nas ain't never been fresh like that ever.

nikkaz need to stop.
He don't have one iconic fit or headpiece.

its his consitency no wack shyt ever, most our favorite rappers be damn near embarresing with their style these days.

Nas from then to now, has always stayed fresh and he does have iconic fits. the pink suit, the curve in his fade, his big qb piece. his whole street prophet assemblems. yet till this day he doesnt try to fit in with the new trends like others or go to far, never in any effiminate gear. i guess overall nas is my stock answer, .... i see slick rick and bdk being good competition.

Nas is the one who started the wack colors and skinny offbrand pants,...stop it.
I notice you did not post the yellow pants pics.
To the point it used to a hof thread in this community to lol at nas lack of fresh.
Including the very picture of him in said tight yellow pants too

This was way before nas and jay turned into the thing it turned into in this community too.

Y'all some revisionist and I know from the responses whom was there and whom wanot.

Nas was not known for being fresh.
shyt the nikka no showed so much.
that you never got to see him except in isolated fans pics.
when he was awol from said venue.


Stop tryin to revise history,......
With that nas stan uses the jay revision to say I was cool with pac after he died playbook.

Y'all not foolin nobody with this stan war shyt.

Nas just got clowNed just recently for that Ghostbusters fit and endorsement,...

Y'all need to stop.
