Fashion - Weezy vs. Fashion



The optical look of a rapper gets more and more important, the image is more important than ever. It serves the fans to identify themselfes as well to show-off the many millions ernead and of course to bring the honeys into bed. But interesting is how the Hip Hop cluture became a fundamental sales factor. First of all the raise of the selled albums, second the example of Rocawear for Jay-Z, or G-Unit - Clothing for Fiddy as additional source of income. Third, the Designers and Producers pay them a lot of money to present and wear their clothes. Like Nike payed Nelly for "Air Force"dedication or Courvoisier for the Track Busta Rhymes did (Pass the Courvoisiert 2002). Gucci aswell, the ecstasy of Jigga for the label, at the time lead by Tim Ford, helped Gucci out of a loonger crash. After the people realised the dimensions of how Hip Hop cultur is affecting
the the biz market-economical wise, lead this finally to ereasing Logos and and brand names from the clips. Fashion and Hiphop belong to eachother like bier and soccer.

Let's see what Lil'Weezy is wearin lately.



Unlike the many rappers in his generation (T.I., Juelz Santana) has Weezy never "invited" is own style, but spotted whatever he likes and how long he feels like. He'll rock tight ass Jeans today, like Juelz, T.I. and Kanye, tomorrow he'll rock a V-Neck Shirt and a fresh Buckle. After that you'll find a foto session to the next interview again with 3XL style and wears suddenly skater wear.



While other rappers express her childhod with their dresscode Weezy cracks the border clothingwise and musical. Switching his style like his flowwwww.







The bigges constand in his wardrobe are probably Wifebeater und Shades, but that looks like belongs to the standard repartoir of every american rapper
.




Are effects like Julez today unmistakable, are they tomorrow already history.

The pictures from the big Bape-Hypes speak for themselfs:








Während Paps Birdman fleißig rot sportet und dann einfach mal seinen Kleiderschrank und nebenbei auch einfach mal den ganzen Fuhrpark in strahlendes Rot taucht, ist Söhnchen einfach mal den ganzen Tag drauf. Und so ist Weezys Cup marketingtechnisch wahrscheinlich fast so genial wie Weezys Schneemann, nur das man aus dem Ding selbst zum Glück keine Kohle schlagen kann. Falls er irgendwann doch seine eigenen Cups designt, so ist das ganze ohne den ebenso verballernden, wie gefährlich verblödenden und tragischerweise zu oft tödlichen Inhalt doch ohnehin witzlos.




Now the last thing to talk about is the tatooing , remeber the illest XXl cover ever, showing how Baby and Weezy pushed the tatoonig to another level, so that Weezy in the meantime for me, since we talk about tatooing, is definitly the craziest bastard.
Alone the tatooes on his patchs speak volumes. Out of this game is nobody crazy enough to shut is face with tatooes, but him!



Conclusion: The Best Rapper Alive is probably not the most fancied up rapper, but has defenitly found a slot, if we talk about optical definition. Weezy crosses musical as also clothingwise all borders, he's unique but also universal.

Weezy is history in the makin', now shut up and let him make it!

Word!
