I miss seeing all the fly people of the 90s. We took so much pride in our appearance.

I love Dapper Dan getting his flowers by Gucci, and I wish Virgil was still alive to contribute to this doc. I’m proud To have lived through this entire Hip hop fashion era, from 89 to present. From Walker Wear, Karl Kani FuBu Maurice Malone, phat farm, Adjademiks, and all of the clothes I used to buy in Urban Outfitters😅

This was a great doc. Sad it didn’t get more attention. We all gotta give the black community their well-deserved seat at the table. They have changed the culture so much and inspired so many!

Funny thing is today there are no hip hop brands ... and the big designers? They all look " urban" now

I felt so sad as they mentioned Virgil 😢 he was amazing but we have so many black brands today. it’s credit to where we started and the persistence of our voice in fashion! We still do it like no other!❤❤

I love the intro analogy about the river. The river can teach us many lessons if we pay attention to our environment. Nature is the best teacher.

Dapper Dan is really sharp and fashionable

I remember my cousins wearing most of those brands and I would get the hand me downs!

This is the kind of reporting I wanna see

Great video I loved it ❤

The 1980s in Atlanta . I remember the hip-hop fashion in black community. Every individual had their own fashion ideas. I remember Karl Kani, Dapper Dan, Damon John. April Walker . Good documentary Hip Hop in the 1980s was lyrical, creating different styles of hip-hop from from different rappers of guys , different rappers of lady groups. And they had great vocabulary in their music and told stories, no profanity in the music, feel good, dance music that told stories, and the whole family could listen . Hip-hop now is dumb down mumble rap, auto tune, no real lyrics

This was great

1970s was the time when hip hop music started towards the end of the 20th century.

Very inspiring

Dapper Dan was basically sampling fashion, taking a bit of the original (the Logo) and repurposing it.

Well deserved! Hip-hop did so much for all of us. It inspired other music industries. Reggae, also known as regetón. So many others too. And we don't always give certain artists the credit the deserve. Why? The American music that gets too much credit. It's good. But it got its inspiration from Mexican music from the past. The mariachi, hip-hop and its predecessors like Little Richard and Ella Fitzgerald. And more. ❤😊❤😊❤

I thought that Reggae appeared long before rap or hip hop ever did. Reggae appeared in the 1060's as far as I can tell. Rap and hip hop the 1070's and 80's. So perhaps rap and hip hop were inspired by reggae instead?

Favourite arts lists featured in this documentary: 2pac, LL Cool J and Aaliayah.

While haute couture brands are now embracing the street wear look. It’s no different for the houses in developing it’s line for a specific market such as India or China or Brazil etc - because as it is mentioned the hip hop is its a culture and expression of aspiration much like the individual nation’s symbiotic relationship between its fashion and culture.

Pharell being named Creative Director of men's Louis Vitton is an absolutely JOKE!!! There are hundreds of brilliant talented and experienced Black luxury wear designers out here who would have killed for that opportunity they could have vetted for that position. Designers who actually know how to design garments, know construction and production processes as well as have an authentic connection to communities of Black-urban life with couture and luxury/chic style aesthetics. That collection he just showed was so passe.

I like hip hop fashion and they are my favorite fashion

I love that humans regardless of background wether “below” or “above” create art to reflect and express the human experience

👉❗HIP HOP YA DON'T STOP❗👈

#HBDHIPHOP👑

Rap and Hip-Hop are both Black AmericanDOS creations, however they're two different things with different histories. Ninety-nine percent of the time when people say Hip-Hop what they really mean is Rap, the "Hip-Hop" term needs to be fazed out when discussing music. Technically, Hip-Hop is a youth movement that was birthed in the Bronx and died there. The Hip-Hop term has been misused and thrown around loosely and inappropriately for decades, it's caused confusion and that's one of the reasons Rap doesn't have a proper standard history as a music genre. You don't associate the creation of Blues or Jazz with any type of separate youth or cultural movement so why would you do it with Rap?

The height of hip hop fashion brands was late 90s and 2000s from fubu, to Rocawear, to enyce, Sean John, akademiks, ecko, Karl Kani, phat farm, iceberg etc now all those brands are gone cause the younger crowd started wearing that luxury bs again like Gucci, Hilfiger polo etc and those clothes are way way overpriced.

It’s ALWAYS cultural appropriation and NEVER appreciation by corporate America. They always take, take, take from black people and culture but we move forward in spite of it

I'm 28 and I've never even heard of Baby Phat.

So much flashiness in hip hop, yet the content of their songs has become more and more vulgar and unrefined. So much crime, nudity and violence. I believe as blacks we need to step up. We should move to being less loud, more modest and work together to build our society.

Rap music is older than 50 years old. Do your research. Plus im from the South Bronx. The culture of hip hop started before the Bx.
