Ranging from classic to contemporary while embodying iconic touches that render each look edgy, the key elements displayed in hip-hop beaus and beauties’ outlandish arrays standout beyond the cliche. Through a genuine desire to look their best while showcasing their unexampled rendition of being well-dressed, each unrivaled fashion feature displays that each one of these sui generis gentlemen is a unique creature. Not only do artists have style within their words, their suits, ties, dresses and gators are also always creme de la creme. Due to the excess of cash that comes from hip-hop musicians dishin’ out nouns, syllables and verbs, hip-hop and fashion are two of a kind, and some of the flyest dressers in the game have even gone on to create their own fashion lines. Here’s five of the hottest verses about fashion from some of hip-hop’s finest dressed.
5.
“Independent with the demeanor of an R&B singer
Naked ring finger, M3 Beamer
Champagne Range, Triple white Jag
Closet full of brand new clothes and handbags
Alexander McQueen, Prada, Gucci, Chanel
D&G, BCBG, Versace, Louis and Bebe
You ain’t needy, greedy or easy as these other breezy’s.”
Drake & T.I – “Fancy”

“Rocking, rolling, swagging to the max
My bitch a fashion killa, she be busy popping tags
“She got a lotta Prada, that Dolce and Gabbana
I can’t forget Escada, and that Balenciaga
I’m sipping purple syrup, come be my Aunt Jemima
And if you is a rider, we’ll go shopping like mañana
Her attitude Rihanna, she get it from her mama
She jiggy like Madonna, but she trippy like Nirvana
Cause everything designer, her jeans is Helmut Lang
Shoes is Alexander Wang and her shirt the newest Donna
Karan, wearing all the Cartier frames
Jean Paul Gaultiers cause they match with her persona.”
A$AP Rocky – “Fashion Killa”

“Perm in your hair or even a curly weave
Witcha New Edition Bobby Brown button on your sleeve
I tell you come here, you say meet me half way
Cause brothers been popping that game all day
Around the way you’re like a neighborhood jewel
All the home boys sweat you so you’re crazy cool
Wear your gold in the summer with your biking shorts
While you watching all the brothers on the basketball court
Going to the movies with your homegirls crew
While the businessmen in suits be hawking you
Baby, hair pumping, lip gloss is shining
I think you in the mood for wining and dining
So we can go out and eat somewhere
We got a lot of private jokes to share
Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee
I love you, you’re from around the way”
LL Cool J – “Around the Way Girl”

“Bang, pop, pop, this thing go pow
Dolce crop top, my play clothes now
Those Céline wedges are way downtown
Best dressed up, better, you best dressed down
Oh, it’s me, fella, the banji gets out”
Azealia Banks – “Van Vogue”

“I made Jesus Walks, I’m never going to hell
Couture level flow is never going on sale
Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive
I get it custom, you a customer.”
Jay Z & Kanye West – “Otis”
