No Jay didn't invent Swag but u can't deny his impact on the game. He was the flagship for Rocawear, him and 50 took over reebok for two years strong and they haven't recovered since, he stops fuckin with Cristal, EVERYBODY stops fuckin with Cristal. He says in his rhymes about button ups next thing u know the whole U.S. is rocking button ups. But yet yall say hes the bandwagon jumper FOH

regular folk dont buy Crystal anyway lol come on now

HAHAHAHA!!!!!! ARE U SERIOUS???? Dipset is responsible with making niggas look gay. Cam starts rocking pink and it was the worst thing i had ever seen in fashion. SMH at niggas rockin pink headbands, tees and women's shoes cuz they were pink. They start rocking tight jeans and tight thermals with glitter combined with skulls to make them hard. GTFOH!!!

word and the fact Cristol made racist comments didnt help,

fact is Jay didnt stop niggas from wearing timbs, who is rockin S Dot Carter now? where are the second editions? the whole point of a brand is to keep building off it, i.e jordans,

short lived fad success same way with gunit clothing

Jay been swag jackin cam, juelz and jimmy, diddy, biggy, kane, now he over in europe swag jackin some whitemen,

jay has never been a fashion icon, not in any life time, look at him

cam unable niggas like kanye to wear pink, he helped all the metrosexual repressed niggas come out the flamboyant closet...it was a controversial move on cams part, but look how niggas dress now,

juelz and jimmy had all these niggas including jay rockin belts, which they jacked from european niggas

den they came with them tight small tee's and fitted jeans, and scarfs (which jay late ass still rocks)

dipset were on the forefront of hip hop fashion for along time, that was a claim to fame for them

but they like jayz never invented swag, however they brought alot more to the table than uncle jay

Please i still see cristal sold in hood liquor stores homie

just cuz u see it in liquor stores dont mean the average joe who is supposed to be affected by Jays trendsetting ways is buying it. of course the dope boy/ballin assnigga at the club may stunt and buy a bottle but regular folk aint.

its alot of Gunit/50 swag hate, but i hope ya'll niggaz realize that 50 made 60 million in 2.5 years off them shoes and clothes
dipset made 0 from creating the tight pants/tight t shirt thing that wayne stole from them

so in the end what we arguing
getting paid off a trend>>>>>>>>>>>starting a trend that gets you NO $$$$$$$$

^^ ofcourse gettin paid>>>>

however when someone kick starts a trend they usually aint benefiting from it financially

juelz didnt rock a tight tee, a leather jacket, fitted jeans, and a scarf thinking he'd be gettin paid, he just did it too look good and niggas followed....thats how niggas with swag do, they get u wanting to dress like them

50 made gunit clothing off the back off his album sales, most people who rocked that shit were void of swag in the first place, typa niggas who rock lee jeans

u either have swag or u dont...50 is totally void of it

Cam'ron invented swag, deal with it.

thats what I planned on getting to but props ....

if niggas can't see that more than half the trends that are going on came from the dna of cam'ron niggas are lost ....

the whole concept of looking fly instead of rugged and street but still spittin from a street perspective is some shit cam brought to the forefront ....

who else was rapping about robbing kidnapping children and gettin sucked by a bad bitch while rocking some pink air force 1's a pink fitted with six chains on ?

i agree with you somewhat but i also think Juelz planned to get paid off that........he started it from dipset and jim, and the rest followed. Juelz was doin it to set himself apart. dont 4get this was around the time that "i cant feel my face" was pose to drop wit Wayne so Juelz was startin his own lane so that he could capitalize off him bringin a new style...its just that CAM blackballed him and he could never release that...allowing Wayne to grab all dat buzz and steal the style and take it to main stream (ie: carter3 etc.) but dont for one minute think that Juelz wasnt tryna capitalize off that, he aint just change his style for the fun of it, $$$>>>>>>>everything
