forgot an important one bro
True. I missed their wave though.
I honestly never heard a song and I wasn't on forums/social media heavily back then.
It wasnt Lil Wayne or Kanye West or Young Thug
it was Jim Jones
its time he gets recognition
He also tried to claim this but Jim Jones pants weren't even skinny
btw, for those who don’t click past headlines, Thug said that back in 08 when people were still wearing baggy jeans, he was wearing skinny jeans. he didn’t say he made it mainstream, he said he was wearing it before everyone else

Man Thug might be my favorite rapper but he’s been saying wild stupid s*** all year goddamn

https://www.instagram.com/p/CPD_JnYD_Uk/?utm_medium=copy_linkIdk when I was in middle school skinnies were a massive trend and that was same / pre timeline to even then. Plus there were also notable rappers who rocked them pre 2008
You niggas' jeans too tight
Your colors too bright, your voice too light ("That's too far, nigga!)"
Ahh so that was Young Thug and not Kanye
I almost got kicked out my college library during this tweet spree I was laughing so f***ing loud at each one (this one specifically too)

he made baggy jeans uncool in favor of bootcuts or straights, but his favorite pair of pants in 2010 damn near 2011 with the rest of the Set was bootcut Trues when people were on drainpipe jeans
Future wore bootcut Trues til late 2011 too
Bootcut Trues/Robins were in a class of their own when everyone was on skinnys during 08-11
even Sosa was on them til 2012 because of the whole Chicago stanning Dipset
shows how powerful Jones/Dipset influence is to have everyone rocking Trues at the same time Cudi nem was pushing skinnys (and even straight cut Raw Denim) since 2008
the 2012 French Montana/Rocky/Migos fitted black everything with large gold jewelry era

he probably didn’t only wear skinny jeans lol
