jayzThere’s been no shortage of clothing lines by rappers over the years, but when you consider the ones that have actually survived the times, well, that’s a completely different story. The likes of Rocawear, Sean John, and (somehow) Phat Farm have been going on for a decade strong, mainly because of the lasting legacies of the personalities behind the brands.

Thus, it was the lines by rappers-of-the-moment trying to cash in that came and went, but even some big names couldn’t make their clothing work when they themselves always looked as if they couldn’t dress themselves. Here’s GIANT’s look back on all the lines that have faded into oblivion.

    Some of these dont even sound like failures to me because people still buy and wear them(Apple Bottoms, Rich Yung, BBC) and others I just never heard of…

    People still wear Apple Bottoms so I dob’t see how that’s a failure but okay.

    I agree with the previous two comments. As far as I can see, girls still wear Apple Bottoms – so I wouldn’t write them off as a failure just yet. Some others I had never even heard of (OutKast had a clothing line? Fat Joe? DMX?). Just goes to show you that everybody dont need a clothing line. Unfortunately, darn near everyone that sells a million records thinks they should have one!

    Maybe its me but I thought that BBC is a High End line not something you buy at Up Against the Wall. Just cause you don’t know where to find it don’t hate and like they say …If I told you where to get it you still wouldn’t cop it…
