Hip Hop Urban Clothing

If you look on the streets now a days you will find a number of people wearing hip hop designer clothing. This has become a very popular trend thanks to rap artists such as P. Diddy, 50 Cent and Jay-Z. These musicians all own their own clothing lines P. Diddy owns Sean Jean, 50 Cent owns G-Unit and Jay-Z own Rocawear. Not only have these musicians made the clothing popular the hip hop culture has also come a long way and helped in making urban wear the fashion of today. As long as hip hop continues its popularity the clothing will also continue to remain very popular.

Hip hop started its trend in the late 70’s with people like DJ Kool Herk, the godfather of hip hop. In addition to Herk, Run DMC who wore track suits and big gold necklaces have also had an influence. Today you will see not just shoes and necklaces but grills, watches and hats all pertain to hip hop urban clothing.

In addition, "hoodies" or sweatshirts with hoods are also a very popular type of clothing that has been worn by the hip hop crowd. Jeans have been worn baggy because with much of the other hip hop fashion the bigger the better.

If you are looking for hip hop gear I suggest reading reviews in order to find the best sites for your money. Find a site that pertains to only hip hop because I have found these are the best sites for reviews. They will give you their opinions about whether or not the site is reputable, any problems they have had along with a number of other things. There are hundreds of sites on the internet that sell hip hop clothing and if you have the time you can try and find the best ones, but I would highly recommend you find a reviews site.
