BelAir s2 is starting strong. I'm so glad they went through with this reboot. Also, I spotted Jazz in a classic Fubu jersey and my heart started racing. If Fubu makes a comeback my old ass will be back in the 05.

While filming a 30-second advertising spot for The Gap, LL Cool J wore a FUBU hat in the commercial and incorporated the line “for us, by us” in his rapping. FUBU has earned over $6 billion in global sales. FUBU is featured at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African-American History and Culture.

Slick Rick is still The Ruler.
The rapper once known as "MC Ricky D" has built a legacy on 35 years of lyricism, style and artistry. Yes, he's arguably rap's greatest storyteller; a style icon and dropped one of the greatest debut albums in the history of debut albums. But when one considers how much of his career was put on hold, when one considers just how immaculate his flow remained even as his style evolved and times changed; Rick's run is truly remarkable.
He burst out the gate with the uber-classic Great Adventures Of Slick Rick, an album that boasted at least four bonafide all-time great songs, and a platinum-seller that cemented him as a star on Def Jam. His life would take a dramatic turn soon afterwards, and Rick found himself headed to prison in 1991, the same year he dropped The Ruler's Back. That album was followed by 1994s Behind Bars, completed on work furlough. Rick would see release in late 1996, and he dropped his fourth album, The Art Of Storytelling in early 1999. It was Rick's first album since his debut not recorded under duress, and critics hailed it as his creative and commercial comeback.
So that's the short version of Slick Rick's story. We decided to rank our favorite 25 cuts from the legendary MC Ricky D.
#26
"I LIKE" - MONTELL JORDAN FEAT. SLICK RICK [BONUS SONG]
Our BONUS SONG pick is a celebrated classic guest spot! The R&B star and The Ruler team up on this hit from the "Nutty Professor" soundtrack.
#25
"CAN'T SHAKE US" FEAT. SPECIAL K
With this rare mixtape track from 2002, Rick teams up with former Treacherous Three legend Special K to kick bars over a sparse beat.
#24
"WHY, WHY, WHY"
Slick Rick has always had a knack for off-color songs about relationships; and this laid-back groover is Rick once again chastising a woman for her wandering eye--and admitting his own infidelity.
#23
"A LOVE THAT'S TRUE, PT. 1"
Speaking of that whole "chastising..." thing. With a beat that echoes his production on "Hey Young World" years earlier, Rick once again dogs out a trifling woman...or two...or three.

#22
"CAN'T DANCE TO A TRACK THAT AIN'T GOT NO SOUL"
Slick Rick dropped two singles in 2019 that let the world know the Ruler was still the Ruler. One was this kinetic P-Funk sampling track that was produced by the man himself.
#21
"TREAT HER LIKE A PROSTITUTE"
Not a song that fits neatly into 2022 sensibilities, but it was Slick Rick's first solo single after his days as MC Ricky D. He debuted the track as a solo star in 1988s "Tougher Than Leather" movie.
#20
"IMPRESS THE KID"
Produced by S&S, this track originally appeared on the "Rush Hour" soundtrack, as Rick gets wreck over a bass-heavy groove that sounds so perfectly late 90s you should have to rock a FUBU jersey to listen to it.
#19
"MIDAS TOUCH"
After some years focused more on performing and brand partnerships, Ricky D returned! And he did so in impressive fashion, showcasing his rapid-fire flow on this groovy single, released alongside "Can't Dance To A Track..."
#18
"RUNAWAY"
On what sounds like a spiritual successor to "Mona Lisa," Slick Rick's knack for hooks is kind of an underrated skill in his arsenal. That beat is so chill.
#17
"LICK THE BALLS"
The vulgarity of the hook might make it seem like 2 Live Crew-like raunch here; but no--this is just a good, old fashioned lyrical showcase. Rick blacks out here.
#16
"UNIFY/BE ALRIGHT/LOUD AND CLEAR" - KID CAPRI W/SLICK RICK, MR. CHEEKS, JERMAINE DUPRI, CAM'RON
The album cut features a killer Snoop guest spot; the video version is a medley of tracks tied together by Kid Capri. As usual, Rick does his thing.
#15
"FROZEN" FEAT. RAEKWON
"Even this so-so beat, I make MONSTROUS." If you need a class on lyricism, this song should be on the syllabus. You've got two of the illest of all time, spitting on a track from "The Art Of Storytelling."
#14
"SITTIN' IN MY CAR" (REMIX)
Jermaine Dupri swooped in to remix this single from Rick's 1994 album "Behind Bars." The video would be one of Rick's most popular during his prison stint in the mid-1990s.
#13
"WHO ROTTEN 'EM"
Nod's beat gives Slick Rick chance to flex his parodic British accent again.
#12
"THE RULER'S BACK"
With production credited to the late, great Jam-Master Jay, Rick opened his debut album with an anthem that's as good as any of his hit singles. Jay-Z would famously interpolate the track in 2001.
#11
"IT'S A BOY" (REMIX)
Large Professor worked his magic on this track that originally appeared on 1991s "The Ruler Is Back," but found new life as a banger on 1994s "Behind Bars."
#10
"I RUN THIS"
On "Da Art of Storytelling," Slick Rick returned at the top of his game and one of the best lyrical showcases he ever put to wax is this hotter-than-hell showcase of his skills. Produced by none other than Rev. Run.
#9
"MISTAKES OF A WOMAN IN LOVE WITH OTHER MEN"
No one should need any convincing that Slick Rick is one of the greatest storytellers ever; and this is one of his most poignant looks at dysfunctional relationships.
#8
"THE MOMENT I FEARED"
A song that suddenly became infamous after his 1990 arrest, Rick documents a tailspin of fictional events that would eventually land him in jail.
#7
"STREET TALKIN'" FEAT. OUTKAST
Big Boi has always sounded like a spiritual successor to MC Ricky D, and their chemistry is potent on this classic Jazze Pha-produced single from 1999s "The Art Of Storytelling"
#6
"TEENAGE LOVE"
One of Rick's most iconic songs and one of the Bomb Squad's most R&B-friendly production. It's Rick recounting the trials of being young and thinking you're "in love."
#5
"BEHIND BARS" (DUM DITTY DUM REMIX) FEAT. WARREN G
Warren G brought his uniquely G-Funk styled production to Rick's harrowing-and-hilarious tale of life while incarcerated. This is a master clinic on storytelling.
#4
"MONA LISA"
It's hard to believe one of Slick Rick's most beloved tracks was never even a single; Rick's tale about meeting a shorty at a pizza parlor would become surprisingly influential.
#3
"I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT"
One of Rick's greatest gifts is his knack for taking a story that sounds lighthearted and taking a sharp turn into a dark place. This is one of his best.
#2
"HEY YOUNG WORLD"
Rick produced this impeccable classic himself, a topical look at society that also encourages youth to make good decisions. There are a handful of songs that truly deserve being called "perfect" and this is one.
#1
"CHILDREN'S STORY"
If you documented the greatest rap tracks of all time, this uber-classic would most definitely on the short list. Rick tells a story that's darker than you think; about a triggerhappy teen who goes on a crime spree with tragic results. You know every word. Everybody does.

Breaking Down the Intersection of Hip Hop and Fashion: How Music and Style Collide:
Hip hop and fashion have been intertwined for decades, with artists and designers alike using their creativity to push boundaries and make bold statements. From Run DMC's Adidas sneakers to Jay-Z's Rocawear clothing line, hip hop has had a major impact on the fashion industry. But the relationship between hip hop and fashion goes beyond just clothing and accessories. It's a cultural phenomenon that reflects the social and political climate of the time. This intersection has given birth to some of the most iconic trends in both industries, from oversized hoodies and baggy jeans to luxury streetwear and high-end collaborations. In this article, we'll be exploring the dynamic relationship between hip hop and fashion, and how they continue to influence and inspire each other today. Get ready to break down the beats and the threads, as we dive into the fascinating world of hip hop fashion.
The Brief History of Hip Hop Fashion:
Hip hop fashion emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, during the birth of hip hop music in the Bronx, New York City. At the time, hip hop was a subculture that was all about self-expression and individuality. And fashion was a big part of that. In the early days, hip hop fashion was defined by a few key elements: tracksuits, sneakers, Kangol hats, and gold chains. These items were all about making a statement and showing off your style.
As hip hop music continued to grow in popularity, so did hip hop fashion. The 1980s saw the rise of streetwear brands like FUBU and Cross Colours, which were designed specifically for the hip hop market. These brands embraced the bold, colorful, and oversized aesthetic that was popular in hip hop culture at the time. In the 1990s, hip hop fashion took on a more casual and relaxed look, with baggy jeans, oversized t-shirts, and hoodies becoming the norm.
Key Fashion Influences in Hip Hop Culture:
Hip hop fashion has been influenced by a variety of different sources over the years. One of the biggest influences has been the African diaspora, particularly the styles of West African and African American cultures. The use of bright colors, bold patterns, and traditional African textiles has been a staple of hip hop fashion since its inception.
Another major influence on hip hop fashion has been the world of sports. Athletes like Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson were known for their signature sneakers, which became must-haves for hip hop fans. And sports jerseys became popular in hip hop culture, as fans would wear the jerseys of their favorite teams and players as a way to show their support.
The Impact of Hip Hop Fashion on the Fashion Industry:
Hip hop fashion has had a profound impact on the fashion industry as a whole. It has introduced new styles, new aesthetics, and new ways of thinking about fashion. Hip hop fashion has also challenged traditional notions of what is considered fashionable or stylish. For example, the baggy jeans and oversized t-shirts that were popular in the 1990s were seen as unfashionable by many in the mainstream fashion world. But hip hop fans embraced these styles as a way to express themselves and their individuality.
Hip hop fashion has also made streetwear a legitimate part of high fashion. Luxury brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Balenciaga have all embraced streetwear aesthetics in recent years, creating high-end versions of hoodies, sneakers, and other hip hop staples. These collaborations between hip hop and high fashion have helped to bridge the gap between the two worlds, bringing hip hop fashion to a wider audience.
The Role of Music Videos in Hip Hop Fashion Trends:
Music videos have played a significant role in shaping hip hop fashion trends over the years. In the early days of hip hop, music videos were a way for artists to showcase their style and their culture to a wider audience. For example, Run DMC's "My Adidas" music video helped to popularize Adidas sneakers in the hip hop community.
As hip hop music and fashion have become more intertwined, music videos have become even more important in shaping hip hop fashion trends. Videos like Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" and Outkast's "Hey Ya!" have become iconic not just for their music, but for their fashion as well. These videos have introduced new styles and aesthetics to the hip hop world, and have helped to define what is considered fashionable or trendy within the community.
Hip Hop Fashion in the Mainstream:
Hip hop fashion has come a long way from its early days as a subculture. Today, it is a major part of mainstream fashion and culture. Hip hop fashion is everywhere, from the streets to high fashion runways. It has influenced everything from athletic wear to luxury fashion, and has become a multi-billion dollar industry in its own right.
But with this mainstream success comes a challenge for hip hop fashion. As it becomes more popular and more commercialized, there is a risk that it could lose the authenticity and individuality that made it so special in the first place. Some critics argue that the mainstreaming of hip hop fashion has led to a homogenization of style, with everyone wearing the same brands and the same looks.
The Most Iconic Hip Hop Fashion Moments:
Hip hop fashion has had many iconic moments over the years. Here are just a few:
*
* Run DMC's Adidas sneakers: In the 1980s, Run DMC helped to popularize Adidas sneakers in the hip hop community. They even wrote a song about it, "My Adidas," which became an anthem for sneakerheads everywhere.
* LL Cool J's Kangol hat: LL Cool J was known for his signature Kangol hat, which became a must-have item for hip hop fans in the 1980s.
* Tupac's bandana: Tupac was famous for wearing a bandana tied around his head, a look that became synonymous with West Coast hip hop.
* Biggie's Coogi sweater: In the 1990s, Biggie Smalls made Coogi sweaters a hip hop fashion staple, and they remain popular to this day.
* Jay-Z's Rocawear: In the early 2000s, Jay-Z launched his own clothing line, Rocawear, which became one of the most successful hip hop fashion brands of all time.
The Future of Hip Hop Fashion:
Hip hop fashion is constantly evolving, and it's impossible to predict where it will go next. But one thing is for sure: hip hop fashion will continue to be a major influence on the fashion industry and on popular culture as a whole. As hip hop music continues to evolve and expand, so too will hip hop fashion.
One trend that is likely to continue is the mainstreaming of hip hop fashion. As more and more people embrace hip hop style, it will become even more ubiquitous in the fashion world. But at the same time, there will always be a place for the individuality and authenticity that made hip hop fashion so special in the first place.
Famous Collaborations between Hip Hop Artists and Fashion Brands
Over the years, many hip hop artists have collaborated with fashion brands to create their own clothing lines or to promote existing brands. Here are some of the most famous collaborations:
*
* Kanye West x Adidas: Kanye West's Yeezy line with Adidas has become one of the most successful collaborations in hip hop fashion history.
* Jay-Z x Reebok: Jay-Z's collaboration with Reebok in the early 2000s resulted in the iconic S. Carter sneakers.
* Pharrell Williams x Chanel: Pharrell Williams collaborated with Chanel to create a line of sneakers and accessories that combined hip hop style with high fashion.
* Rihanna x Puma: Rihanna's collaboration with Puma resulted in the popular Fenty line of sneakers and clothing.
* Travis Scott x McDonald's: Travis Scott's collaboration with McDonald's resulted in a limited edition meal and merchandise line that sold out almost instantly.
Conclusion:
Hip hop and fashion have always been intertwined, with each influencing and inspiring the other. From the early days of tracksuits and Kangol hats to the current era of luxury streetwear and high-end collaborations, hip hop fashion has come a long way. It has challenged traditional notions of what is considered fashionable or stylish, and has introduced new styles and aesthetics to the fashion world. And as hip hop music continues to evolve and expand, so too will hip hop fashion.
