The Notorious B.I.G. will forever be known as one of the illest rappers. But what about his style? Biggie Smalls is responsible for reinventing several trends. Check out the three most memorable .
THE KANGOL HAT
LL Cool J rocked Kangol hats hard in his earlier years. But Biggie and his Kangol hats were attached to the hip like Slick Rick and his 20 billion chains.
Lyrics: “N—as talkin’ it, but ain’t livin’ it. Cristal pops, I’m sippin’ it. Mob hats and lizard sh–.” -” You’ll See”
VERSACE SHADES & SHIRTS
Kanye & T-Pain may be two of the flashiest dressers in Hip-Hop, but they are not the originators. Puffy and Pop were living the good life way before. They brought Italian designers to the hood.
Lyrics: I”I put hoes in NY onto DKNY, Miami and D.C. prefer Versace”
COOGI SWEATERS
Heathcliff Huxtable might have a leg up on Biggie in this category. But the Brooklyn Don’s both shared a love for the knitted sweaters from the Australian company.
Lyrics: “First things first: I, Poppa, freak all the honeys. Dummies, Playboy bunnies, those wantin’ money. Those the ones I like, ’cause they don’t get Nathan… Heartthrob never, black and ugly as ever. However, I stay Coogi down to the socks.”
