He wasn’t first but him and Pharrell were equally influential. Bathing Apes song was the first Soulja song I think I ever heard

Y’all trippin like Soulja wasn’t there when Nigo came up with the name for Bape SMH. Without Draco there would be no Bape.

this post hit me hard

Will never not be corny how wayne and birdman try to make the beef about bape and not them missed payments to P and Chad and everyone makes it seem like Push bitter over clothes.

Love Wayne but he can be so lame wit beef

classic

I bet you Pharrell got more people buying authentic Bape than Soulja did lol. Pretty sure before Soulja was on,he was wearing fake Bape and clear forces,those the type of dudes he appealed to with that song.

Soulja taught me what bape was but I saw Wayne in it first

lmao okay

was just about to post

Man,Jay and Nas was shouting out Bape in songs way back in 03 man,Jeezy too.

forreal! there's even a photo of Biggie rocking BAPE

Aka me because that's literally all I could get in that era lol had a fake bape jacket and a pair of green bapes straight from the corner store. Wore both proudly

I hate when a dude like Soulja says s*** like this cause today’s fans will run with it cause some of these kids really don’t know. He might’ve been the first dude with the iced out G-Shock tho lol,but I wanna say that’s Lupe.

Nothing wrong with that bruh,a lot of kids wore flea market s*** back then(they still do now)but Pharrell literally helped Nigo grow his brand in the US vs Soulja possibly helping counterfeiters in China have in uptick in business lol.

Feels like that era was an eternity ago. I was cutting grass all summer just to barely afford flea market knock offs 😭. Honestly it’s on brand for Soulja to help out counterfeit stuff lol

He funny
But he be making himself sound stupid with this first rapper to do meme, s*** old

pharrell made that s*** cool and did it way before big soulja

Not the first but “haters getting mad cause I got me some bathing apes” definitely made niggas want bapes back then

Baaaaape? Baaaape?

soulja boy was the first to do everything at this point

wrong pharrell kanye then soulja
